Ofna DM-One Brushless Conversion (DM-1)

How about a link: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBZN2

It only comes with what is pictured; no bearings or drive cups. The one I got was even missing the 5mm set screw. I hope it was simply missed, because it makes no sense to have it without the screw. It uses the same cups and bearings that the 2 speed uses though...

THANKS!

Well, I worked on it most of the day and this is how far I got. I swapped the 2-speed for a center diff and swapped the stock diffs for spiders.

Hopefully the motor will be here Monday.

Man that thing is a beauty--if I have not said that already. Are you using RCPD motor mount? I like how they suspend the ESC. Will that battery tray fit a 4S?

I have ordered a few things for mine but have to wait to X-Mas to start the build .

Thanks. I used RC-Monster Mike's Jammin CR X-1 buggy mount and RC Product Designs' Losi 8 diff top plate (required some dremel/drilling to get it to fit), and a RC Product Designs Losi 8 battery tray. The battery tray will fit up to 6S flight power/thunder power packs. Got a Castle Neu 2200kv motor on the way.

Nice. I will probably go with the Novak conversion kit but I really like the idea using the RCPD top diff plate. Puts the ESC out of the way and makes room for battery tray. I can not wait to do my build. I was thinking of using Novak's HV 4.5 but believe that motor is 5000Kv and may get a little hot in the old parking lot. I was hoping for a +60mph car .

If you run a similiar setup like what SSSP is planning, that speed can be done!

5S with a 2200kv Neu can easily be geared for 60+ mph...especially with this rig because it is very light and it will be a road car.

The EL8 RCPD top plate is nice but I recommend you get the one for the Jammin because I had to drill out the mounting holes quite a bit before everything would line up perfectly. I finished the mount by using some flanged spacers/washers so it would look nice and tidy.

Too bad there aren't torsen diffs that can hold up to BL power...
