MBX Pro Conversion

[Re~Mix]

And now, after two cans of wd40/trinitybuggy spray here I am. I installed the optional plastic spur, although I oddly needed to use spacers to raise the center diff in order to have clearance for the spur. Other than that the car is almost done, with the except of shocks, battery mount, motor mount etc. I am pleased so far, at least it isn't a heap of clay anymore. The potential battery postitions are in the picture. I will lay them flat if I can, but I am not sure that I have enough room on the motor side. Hopefully the rock guards can take the added stress.

i have question, where are your project?
what performance with 10l?
12 cells?

[Re~Mix]

I will be running a 9L on 12 cells. It should do around 35 mph, but I don't have the supplies in yet. So right now I'm waiting on the motor/esc/ and motor mount.

Here's a quick update. Did a lot of wrenching and cleaning this weekend and made it this far.

that's a pretty nice conversion

Well I got quite a lot more work done. I started programming the ESC today, but I ruined one of my 5.5mm connectors (solder dripped down into the part that connects) so I'm off to the hobby shop to remedy that.

looks good

I've picked the project back up. I had a bit of a soldering misshap (now need to get off the protective coating ehh ohh) Don't cut your motor wires!

but here it is at the moment

Very nice! Hows it run? Lets get some without the body on!

looks good.

Hey Re-Mix Have you seen my Ultra conversion? Traxxas tubes (103mm) work great for rear brace and allows room for batteries.

Nice conversion by the way. where did you mount the electronics?

[Re~Mix]

HEre is the current layout, I may be switching to a 10L in the future if the 9L proves to be too crazy.
