Novak 1/8 Conversion kits

[joeling]

Hi,

Looking at the photo from Novak, it looks like the motor is bolted onto a plate that utilises the nitro engine mount holes. This is different from most of the conversions where one of the diff holder plate is extended to become the motor mount.

My worry with this approach is that during the course of running the buggy, the flex in the chassis may eventually cause a clash between the pinion & spur resulting in the front end of the rotor becoming warped. I have done something similar in my first conversion & it lasted about 3 to 4 months of about 1hr sessions per weekend.

I hope I'm wrong of course as it is great to see a big manufacturer joining the push for brushless.

Regards,
