Custom 1/5 Brushless

[simplechamp]

Have you thought about getting rid of the trans and using a center diff with integrated motor mount (like this: http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=rcmcdmm)

That stock blue motor plate on the trans doesn't look like it would hold up for very long with a 2217 bolted up to it. Center diff design would make the setup a lot tougher.

Welcome to the forum, look forward to seeing this thing completed!

Hello and thank you for your response.

I will be changing the transmission in the following ways:

1. Plastic gearbox to fully aluminum ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT )

2. Then changing the two-speed tranny to a one-speed via GorrillaMax ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT )

3. A custom-machined, thicker, motor mount (perhaps twice as thick as stock on picture).

I will also find a way to use an all-metal gearing system.

Any thoughts?

Thank you!
