What motor are you using to push your truck? The amount of metal on this thing really concerns me. It is going to be well powered but the lighter the better.

But will be even more rewarding...I cannot find the Carbon parts I want so they will have to be hand cut. the flat pieces. The front plate will be replaced. I love these type of builds. Firsts new parts should arrive tomorrow. I will mock up the center diff assembly and motor mount. It will be a carbon fiber aluminum angle two piece.

tekno neu 1515 2.5d, 1650kv. My truck is full aluminum and it tosses it around with no problems. The 1717 you plan on using is plenty of motor.

That is the idea. I am going for the extra wide wheels so thew extra motor will definitively help there. I hope the CF diet will get it down to 10 lbs with the motor and lipos.

The Ofna parts worked without a hitch. The diff is mocked up and if fully functional with the existing aluminum pieces. Once the CF plate comes in, It will be cut to match. Here are a few pics of the center diff in place.

Is all I can say at the sheer size of the CC1717. I cannot wait to fab up the motor mount and get this beast of a motor installed. Thanks Nitro for providing me with such a monster of a motor.

The first fabs of the motor mount and center plate are complete. The ones here are the templates of the parts in the works. Once I get the spur gear, I can refine the fit. The 1717 almost looks out of place in this thing. It is just plain freaking huge. The last pic is a standard 540 size 7700. Oh I cant wait to run this beast.
