BL-conversion of a FG Monster 1:6

[Takedown]

I saw a few of your vids a while back and was pretty impressed with the power. Lehner/Schulze or Lehner/MGM combo's never seize to amaze me. I am currently converting my MCD 1/5 MT but its going to be brushed for the purpose of being able to get wet and the "no cogging" affect like some brushless apps have. I will be running a powerful brushed robotics CIM motor on three "12v" PB's 5000mah packs in series which is equivalent to a 10s lipo setup. They are also hardcase like all PB's which makes me feel safer. I am still debating if I should use a HV brushed "r/c" esc or to use a scooter brushed "esc" with a potentiometer hooked to a servo for thottle. Brakes will be mech. Im hoping to get some dirt flinging action out of this thing.

Michael, the owner did a hell of a job to support me in realizing this Monster-project.

I have just purchased this motor mount from Micheal at onefive.de and going to install it on a FG monster truck 2WD - with a Lehner 3080 motor and run it on 12S with a schulze 40.160. I have already done a conversion using a Bolido Plettenberg and a Schzule 40.160. I sent pictures of my conversion and video to Micheal. The biggest problem I have is I can't apply more than 1/3 power before the car spins out of control. So I am going to try my luck on the bigger monster truck.

Are you using the FG pinion and spur gears ? Looking at the picture it is not clear of the pitch of the gears.

The 4WD conversion is it better than using a MCD 4WD rolling chassis? I asked onefive.de if he has the motor mount for the MCD yet and he says it is not ready although he sent me a picture of the test project.

Any further advice on the gearing would be much appreciated.

The shaft size is 10mm.
10mm is the regular shaft size of the 1/5-6 gas-models so pinion gears are no problem.

Yes he is using the stock pinion and spur gears
