Brushless Traxxas Jato

[Batfish]

Version 2 is now ready. :)

Here are the changes:
1. Tranny has had first gear removed and second gear locked (similar to my MGT tranny). This allows for the motor to be used for the braking, and for reverse.

2. Throttle/brake servo (and components) have been removed.

3. Most of the upper plastic tray has been removed. The only part that remains is the part that the steering servo mounts to.

4. Associated battery cups attached to rock guards to mount battery sideways in front of motor.

5. Removed the battery compartment rear bumper and replaced with the optional Jato rear bumper.

You can see the comparisons here in these pictures. The first two pictures are the overhead view comparisons from V1 and V2. the second two pictures are the side view comparisons from V1 and V2. These changes have moved weight to the rear and lowered the center of gravity, the two things the Brushless Jato needed most.







Here's to hoping for a better turnout this coming Thursday at the club races :)

Almost forgot to add the little video that shows forward/brake/reverse.
