kyosho mfr electric conversion

new updates!

since i was notice some wear on transmission dog bones e think on continue the project and mount a center diff too.
i notice that it could be easy since chassis plate is flat and i get my hands to work.
i have already in stock for many time a center diff brushless motor mount from a rc8 so i get the rest of the parts to mount it.
next i made a custom plate to attach to center diff and to chassis staying between both and that´s it!!



the easiet part was made center dog bones with correct leght and for that i use two spare ones from front and cut them and glue them with a special epoxy glue.
this dog bones are not round and top pins come out after heat so it was easy to customize them!!



i bought a new lipo box too from a hyper 10sc truck and fit just perfect and change all stock screws to hex head ones!
also get optional 17 mm's hex hubs and change motor to a 4065 2700kv 4 pole from stock ezrun sc8 combo!





new body is on project too and all i can say is that tha handling of the truck is now a dream.
is corners like a 1/8 truggy with 4 wheels planted on the ground but at same time i can bash it anywhere like a monster!!
weight come to 3,45 kilos with this changes and with truggy 1/8 wheels so yeah it is dawn light and super fast on 3s lipo!

more to come soon!

Well done. I wasn't all that happy with your first motor mount as it looked very thin but the new setup looks excellent. Even a center diff too. Wow! Weight is excellent too. I hope it serves you well and keep us updated on the durability of the truck.
