E-baja 12s

yes, we have a cap for the motor to keep debris out of it. just trying to find a screen to put over the cooling holes so the internal fan can do its job. the 2215 is supposed to run about 97% effeciency so it runs cool naturally.

the adaptor to connect the motor to the pinion gear is machined. the stock clutch bell on a baja rides in a bearing carrier and has a dovetail grove on the end of it that the pinion gear locks onto. there is a screw that screws into the adaptor and holds the pinion in place. the adaptor is basically a replica of the clutch bell, minus the bell. where the bell used to to be, machine it down to about 1 in. and put a set screw in place. at first we were concerned that the motor shaft was not notched and doubted that the setscrew would hold. so far not problems yet. the 2215 comes with an optional 10mm or 5 mm shaft, ours has the 5mm but i think the 10mm would be better since there is plenty of room to make the adaptor bigger.


the motor plate could be shortened significantly. we actually made the motor mount before the motor came in, just going on the size listed on the neu page. the original plan was to have a rear support for the motor, four 5mm bolts hold the motor to the plate, a rear support is not needed.

the pinion and spur are in fixed locations, to change the gearing you would have to buy them as a set. i havnt even looked into optional gearing.

I never thought of using screen. I might try that.

Nice conversion. You can use a flat foam or flat out a piece of an old K&N filter and it should allow plenty of air to flow into the motor. Another option is one of those fine screen mesh either made out of fiber glass or some kind of metal.

sounds like Phoenix in the summer, averages 110-115 during the day85-95 at night the coolest time is @ 7am for some strange reason

Please have respect for fearandloathing and others and take the political crap elsewhere. There is no reason to act like an @$$ because you have an opinion.

Sweet ride for sure. I like it.

dear dear...what will become of the internal combustion engine with these electric conversions about. when i had my rustler 2.5 i was bashing round with a guy that had a 1/5 Baja. you heard the thing before you saw it. that thing hauled. doesnt suprise me that you converted to electric. i too am looking into a 1/5 MT after my revo is 100% converted. if the torque is more than the IC motor then i am not at all suprised it sqeals the tyres and gets to terminal speed quicker. electric is the future. nice work.

Removed the political parts. Every opinion matters, but i don't think this is the place to vent your opinions in this matter. This will be a discussion that will never end and will result in enemies instead of friends. It's so much easier to offend a person than the please one. You are not exactly a saint either.

I would appreciate it if you guys have used PM to get into discussion, but a discussion seems to be less interesting if there is no audience involved.

Sorry for bringing it this way, but this thread is about the baja conversion. you personal opinion regarding the war, whether it's true or false, doesn't have to be in this thread.

WOAH!!!! please post videos!!! =]

wow that is awesome!!! now i know where im getting my lipos!!1

[zeropointbug]

I'm fine with that... no one wants to hear it anyways.

Wow, that thing is a monster. Great job fearandloathing. Its good to see you have a chance to do some bashing over in Iraq. My electronic setup is almost exactly like yours. I don't want to hi-jack your thread but I just want to compare setups. I am running a 2215/3Y in an OFNA ultra GTP (10 lbs ready to go) on 8s with a HV-110 and I have gotten it up to 83mph. I am going to try 12s soon. Your project has given me inspiration to push the envelope! Great design and have fun with the car! (click on the pictures for full rez)
