Hyper St conversion

I picked this rtr model up used, $150 for the truck with everything and spares, so a decent deal. Still need to sell the nitro engine, and a few other nitro related parts. It also needs a good cleaning, as you will see in the pics!

Planned setup is a MMM running a 10xl, on 6s lipo. Picked up a neuenergy 3900 6s pack cheap from amain ($125), and the 10xl was from another member here. I will see how it does with the 10xl, but I would really like a 1515 2.5d. I am waiting to buy one, as CC are making motors, and I can wait if they will offer what I want!

Got a hyper motor mount from Mike, and put a kyosho plastic 46t spur on the diff. The hacker 15l is just for packaging purposes, checking to see if the 46/13 gearing will allow the motor to clear the rear chassis support. It looks good, and I have a little room to go down to a 12t pinion if I need to.

Battery tray will be made from kydex, and placed in the gas tank location. I will most likely put the mmm behind it on that side, but need to weigh all of my components to get the best balance.

why bother cleaning?....its kinda like its June and the Xmas lights are still up on your house and you have thought about taking them down, but Xmas is only 6 months away and you hate to do double work......
