likewise, i know too many people that have the mentality that all used stuff is crap and will break on you, its pretty simple to find good stuff- a little research is all that it takes.



Sometime in the near future i will be participating in an intership program at Lockheed Martin so I will have a good bit of cash- thinking about builing a bl 5b...

Where can you find mod1.5 pinion or gearstock.

I got the 12t pinions from sdp-si. They have a decent selection, I looked for 8mm poinions as the 1521 motors have 8mm shafts. 12 and 14t were the best bet given the motor kv and voltage that I planned to use. They have 16t and larger, but that was a bit much for my application. They were about 25 bucks each after shipping.

Let me know when....They have a lot of nice surplus things that will be good to use.

I already called dibs

We(myself and partner in crime Eovnu87435ds) both got selcted for the internship program due to our background in electrical systems. Pretty sure we get to work with the AEGIS system and the Radar testing equipment... Robotics does have its perks

I think the right motors for 1/5 scale are the big Neu 22xx, Plettenberg Bolido and the Lehner 36xx. I also think Astro Flight has some low Kv big inrunners too and when the appropriate ESC comes out they should be a good motor too (Actually they are really low Kv and might not work).

I like the looks of the bolido, but do you know where I can get more info on it? Its neat that its a direct fit for an fg pinion which is also mod1.5 and makes life easier

Here you go http://www.icare-rc.com/plettenberg_pricelist.htm#cars

good luck on that, its a tad spendy

Is there a target price for the conversion kit?

Lol, it's funny that this brushless motor costs 100 dollar less in the EU. Mostly all things are cheaper in the US than in Europe..

Harold pointed out the place to get the motor and the pinion can be found at https://sdp-si.com/eStore/, click on metric go to spur gears and use the drop down boxes to select the following: 1.5, With Hub & set screw and the bore size.

Gotta watch them... I ordered 8mm bore 1.5mod 12t pinions for my baja and selected w/hub and setscrew and they showed up without any setscrews, or the drilled/tapped holes that a setscrew would go into... Good thing I have a drill press...

Good to know, but it hasn't happened to me yet. Thanks for the heads up. Did you get the carbon steel ones?
