after many nitro rebuilds and cleanups, I've finally decided to make my muggy brushless. I am planning on a setup a little different from what would normally be expected, and I'm doing it this way so that i can have a servo controling the breaks instead of putting all of the extra heat and stress on the brushless system. I'm going to get the
The Mamba Monster 2200kV combo which won't be available until late august which gives you an idea of when I'll be done my conversion. I'm planning on putting the motor where the fuel tank used to be and the battery where the engine used to be and the ESC where the radio box was. I know it's a tight squeeze putting the motor and the battery on the same side, and i know that it will offset the weight by alot, but I like it better than attempting to mount the brake servo somewhere else, and if i don't like the weight offset i can always change it.
I ordered the RC-Monster muggy electric motor mount (hopefully i'll get it tommorow) and I'm putting it in opposite of how it's designed to be put in. But first, the spur gear needs to be in backwards. It took alot of drilling and dremel work, but it finally spins freely:
