Racing brushless 1/8 scale

[TruckBasher]

Nice conversion, One of this days i will convert a buggy to brushless also....

Anyway, I think the idea of the rear motor mount is to lessen the motor movement, lessen the flex on the motor mount. This way you'll have a solid setup that doesnt move, good for you pinion i bet :)..

Mike will always be mike he so fast....look af the testimonial page...though he might have some issue (we dont usually know) he will find a way to make it work best for his customers

I haven't seen many others doing a rear brace... but I really like to have it, if I can find a way to get it done. I have run without it also without anything bad happening except maybe the motor sliipping a bit, but no doubt a brace at the rear makes it stronger.

As you have said, 1/8 buggies can see some wild action on the track. It's just a little something extra to keep the motor locked down tight.

I have heard talk about bracing the rear of these big motors, but I don't know if anyone else actually does it but me.

I hear you on the layout... a million ways to do things. It's looking good. I like how it's a bolt-on conversion and that you didn't just stick the battery on the side guards, but made a really good strong mount for it. I don't think you will see your $$ lipos come flying out or get smashed during a wreck...

When you get the ubec it may be tempting to put it up by the rx.... but some say they can cause glitching so watch for that if it's near the rx.

Hey, good things come to those who wait right? :035:

I think a rear brace is a good idea.Particularly with the xl can motors.Think of how heavy they can me and all that mass supported sometimes solely by screws in a press fit endbell and how it's going to react when you cartwheel down the track or even just bottom out on landing after a jump...
