Monster GT Conversion With A Center Diff

[nms]

hi ppl,

i'm visiting this page for some time to learn with all of you about converting theMGT to electric and now decide to convert mine and share with you my work.

this the MGT i have



it's an original .21 MGT with a chassis with same dimensions.

allready have a motor mount made by dude friends (my special thanks to dude and his friend) and i´m thinking to use the Slipperential™ 1/8 Center Slipper Diff sold by rc-monster.

i will use a mamba monster esc and a motor that i can't discover a shop to buy.

any one now where i can buy one of this motors:

- Neu-Castle 1518 1Y 1800kv
- Neu-Castle 1520 1Y 1600kv

and can any one explain me something. i all of you (al least who put pictures) use 2 lipo pack 3S instead of 1 lipo pack 6S if the price is the almost the same?

more photos when i receive the thinks i order

thanks for your example. very nice work. congratulations

Awesome chassis, haven't seen one like that before, who makes (made?) it?


I hate to delay yet again, but I just haven't had time to work on this truck very much lately. However.....

Some of you may remember I was planning on making a motor mount from 1 solid chunk of aluminum... That will be happening within the next couple of months. Still getting some practice with my mill, but I've got everything picked out that I will need on McMaster, will be ordering pretty soon, so hopefully I can have this truck up and running by the end of March.

I am also trying to figure out where I can get some battery boxes like the Savage Flux has, but in a shorter version, as I don't think I could shorten them without ruining them. I want to use trays like this though because I am going to mill out sections of the chassis so the batteries would be closer to the center line of the truck and narrow it up a little bit (stock stone guards make the body seem really wide and the arms really short, which I don't like) so I can run a narrower body for a better look. Anyway, feel free to chime in on this, if you know of anyone who has shortened Savage Flux battery boxes to work with another application, post up some pics and how well did it work?


EDIT: I would also like to add, the reason I am not going with a simple flat tray with velcro straps to mount the packs in a similar configuration as the Flux boxes is because I don't really like the look of having multiple velcro straps holding each pack in. Just doesn't look very clean IMO.
