best layout for jammin x1 crt brushless

[lincpimp]

Popular choice will be the rcm motor mount, with the motor on the right rear of the chassis. You may have to cut the servo tray (not sure if the rcm mount comes with the servo plate) to make room for the pinion. Mst here use the motor for braking, so you can ditch the mech brakes. Battery tray will go in the fuel tank location, and probably extend back to the rec center diff bulkhead. You can place the esc across from the motor behind the battery tray.

As far as electronics go, a 1800-2200 kv motor on 5s lipo will be the best bet for a truggy. I would go with a castle MMM/2200 system. Not sure what tires you plan to run, or what speeds you want, but you should be able to gear accordingly. If you plan to keep the "ferris wheel" spur on that truck the rcm mod1 pinions will be the best be as they are hardened/material better than pretty much anything else out there. You need a good pinion to use on a steel spur.

As far as battery choice goes the sky is the limit. Mike sells some excellent batteries in the rcm store, something around 5000mah 25c 5s will be good for decent runtimes in the crt.
