1/8th On Road Conversion

[nl12]

Here are some pictures of the mugen to give an idea of how much room you have to mount a motor I am not sure you would be able to keep the mechanical brake or not, you can use the motor break no problem though. I dont know how their 2 speed works you may be able to use reverse :027: the length you have avalable for batteries is not very long, looks to be a little longer than the recever pack :002: I would convert one if I was confident it would be faster and quicker than the nitro version at least in a straight line.

Thank you for the pics and the info.
I just picked a brand new Mugen MRX3 for cheap so this will be the "test bed"!
I was looking at motors. I was thinking of a 1940/9 Motor and running that with a 8s LiPo. I am wondering what size battery can I fit in there. I wonder if I can get two 4s Lipo's in there with 2500man each. That way I can still use my charger which can only charge up to a 4s LiPo. If I am running an 8s then, the 1040/9 might not be the right choice (just thinking out loud here). Is the RPM per volt listed "no load". With a load, it may work.
Thanks for the help.
