brushless 1/5 4wd conversion about to begin! couple questions.

Just borrow this setup from a muggy for steering:



Dual 7955's won't have any issue

But then there is issue of the servos fighting each other.

[brushlessboy16]

that is what the linkage in the middle does, you adjust that so they dont fight each other....

i already picked up one of the JR high voltage servos and a Castle BEC so i can run at 7.4 volts which will let the servo pump 480oz of torque. about the best available from what i can find. i picked up these aluminum servo mounts on ebay that i plan to mount for both steering and brake. hopefully they are strong enough. i think they will work fine.





as far as finding a "normal" center diff from one of the other 1/5 kits it aint happening. not by me anyway. i have looked everywhere. all the 4wd units use a conical style gear in the center. i have already posted some of my gear ideas from the other kits earlier in the thread. perhaps someone can tell me the diamater of the spur gear on the rear diff of the baja 5b. i would like to use that as a center diff and just have a custom mount made but i have no idea what size it is. i think it is too big though. can anyone tell me?

here is what i have decided to do. i ordered this spur gear in 37t. (a 43t is also avail.) it looks to be the easiest one to modify. all i will have to do is bore out the middle to 12mm and drill 4 holes to screw it down. i think it will work. if it does work i will can order the 43t and do the same to adjust gearing if needed. but i want a fast ride so i am starting with the 37t and see what happens.

Very nice. I have the Rampge MT with a ported 30.5 CC engine. I hope you are able to drill holes in that gear to make it fit.
