My latest project "X"

[lincpimp]

So I was going to do a 6s setup with a MMM and a hacker c50xl. Well, I decided to do something more interesting. I have a 1521 2.5y smooth can motor and 10s lipo hanging around. I also have a lutach 10s esc that ids currently not in use.

So I came to this setup as i was deciding how to make the motor mount. Due to lack of clearance between the single servo and the tranny I could not mount the lipos up front. So I dedided that the motor would fit better there, and i could place the lipos behind the tranny. They are 2 5s packs, so one can sit in a cutom tray where the fuel tank normally sits, and the other could sit on its side in another cutom tray in the stock ntro engine location.

I planned to use some thick al flat stock to create a L shaped motor mount. But I started looking at the savage flux mounts and decided that they could be used to hold the motor in place. They would be much stronger than the L shaped mount, and support the motor at both ends. Since I am making another chassis plate I can put some slotted holes to allow for mesh adjustment. In order to get the desired speed, I will have to use 59/30 gearing. Motor speed is low, 10s lipo with the 2.5y is around 23k rpm. So it should run cool, but I hope it starts easy... I do still have the high/low selectable gearing in the tranny, and I think I will be in low gear most of the time, so it should not matter too much.
