Doing a Brushless Conversion. Advice Please.

Thanks to both of you. I think I will start by tightening the spur, I left it pretty loose because I don't want my diffs to blow up, lol. I will compensate by increasing punch control. I am gonna start at 70% and slowly decrease it until I am happy with performance.

About the batteries being snug with cushioning AND having air around them. THis might sound liek a stupid question, but can't the velcro straps damage the batteries if they are directly against the batts, and you land upside down (all the inertia of the batts pushes them against just 2 thin spots). That is why I kept all sides with plates, to spread the load of any impact. I am thinking maybe I should put cushioning on one side of the batts, but still keep the other side direct to the alum, as a heatsink. Does this sound like the right thing to do? If I put cushioning on both sides, should I remove the top plate, and just run with the velcro on top?
