Stunning piece of work. Although its a taboo, I have to ask; how much did all that cost to put together?...

Yeah it's a taboo but it's no secret because you could google all prices in the www. The conversion was approx. 2K Euros without the car. But I did what jayjay mentioned earlier: I sold almost every piece of RC stuff that I had to make this project happen. And I'm going to sell all the gas-components from the monster as well. This makes it a little bit easier for me - and my wife...

Do you have graphs of the runs to see how many AMPs you're pulling? I just want to get an idea if my 10S ESC will be enough or if I have to get something more powerful done.

did you make the motor mount yourself, or is it from hm-modellbau (onefive.de)?

You're right, the motor mount is from hm-modellbau (onefive.de).
Michael, the owner did a hell of a job to support me in realizing this Monster-project.

I have just purchased this motor mount from Micheal at onefive.de and going to install it on a FG monster truck 2WD - with a Lehner 3080 motor and run it on 12S with a schulze 40.160. I have already done a conversion using a Bolido Plettenberg and a Schzule 40.160. I sent pictures of my conversion and video to Micheal. The biggest problem I have is I can't apply more than 1/3 power before the car spins out of control. So I am going to try my luck on the bigger monster truck.

Are you using the FG pinion and spur gears ? Looking at the picture it is not clear of the pitch of the gears.

The 4WD conversion is it better than using a MCD 4WD rolling chassis? I asked onefive.de if he has the motor mount for the MCD yet and he says it is not ready although he sent me a picture of the test project.

Any further advice on the gearing would be much appreciated.

The shaft size is 10mm.
10mm is the regular shaft size of the 1/5-6 gas-models so pinion gears are no problem.

Yes he is using the stock pinion and spur gears

Very nice truck you have. I bookmarked that site in case I ever win the lottery.

No, not yet. I have to gat a suitable logger first. But a similar setup in an 1/5 pulled approx. 180 amps.

Thanks for the link - looks promising.

The maximum temps so far have been 140° F at the ESC and 120° F at the engine at 50° F outside temp .

It is a 4WD monster out of the box. I haven't checked your rules regarding links yet but if it's not a problem I would post the link to the construction manual here.

[_paralyzed_]

no rules about links, and Linc (a member here) goes by no rules, so Link away!

Good to know (it's different here).
