BL Terra Crusher "Electrified Crusher"

that definately looks like a good truck to start with.

i would go with the 9xl because it would give you good runtime and power on 16 cells. it also wont heat up very much if geared properly. Either the 9920 or quark would work well with this setup

Thanks and is carbon fiber pretty easy to work with? What kind of tools do you need to cut it? I got access to a mill and lathe so I was going to do the main chassis in aluminum and make battery holders like on the G maxx chassis, but out of lexan and lower them like on the G maxx (and use the CF G maxx batt straps) so it has a Low COG. But I would really like CF but is it hard to work with? and where online can I buy it? Thanks for the help and I think ill go with the 9920/9XL sounds pretty damn good and its pretty reasonably priced.

Hey, welcome to the family! All the power to you, nitro conversions rock! And this truck looks like a good platform to start with.

One thought: How about, instead of the obvious E tranny route, a buggy centerdiff? From my experience I can tell you that centerdiffs make the sick BL power much more handle-able (if there is such a word?). For racing, I would go centerdiff!

Exactly how does that work? I never heard of doing this, sounds interesting, so you just use a center diff from a buggy and mount the motor near it and have it turn the spur gear on it? You happen to have a pic and how to or of how this works? Sorry for all the q's but never heard of doing this. EDIT: I found some pics and get how it works now but the thing is w/ this Crusher they use driveshafts and output yokes instead of dog bones and all the center diffs I see run dog bones, There is no way that I can think of to convert the center shafts to dogbones because the center shaft is splined at the end where it goes into the f/r diffs , so I dont see that happening really. Any ideas? Also would a 9L be able to power this decently? Go atleast 40mph? and decent runtimes?
