Some ideas/brainstorming for a 1/7 scale on road car build

Got some more work done. Drilled and tapped 4 holes to mount the plate to the chassis, thru existing holes. Also mounted the brake servo mount to the plate, used coutersunk screws so the plate sits flush on the chassis.

Waiting on gears so I can mock up the motor clamps and drill holes for them. Will make a battery tray and trim the brake servo plate as my bandsaw tires just arrived (yay). Need to wire up the MMM and make a mount for the receiver, pretty sure I will put it next to the steering servo. Then I get to attemot to remember how to program the M11 to slave the brake servo on ch4... Sounds like alot of fun.

Here are a few pics with the tires and body on.

Looks nice but ESC looks "FET" challenged... Some new super light MMM design?

PS you need to shorten your steering link.

HAHA, yeah, the Lite version 1!!!

The steering link is the correct length, just not attached right now. Not sure if I will continue to run that servo, but I may as I will be running a ccbec and will crank the voltage to 6.5v or so. Not the best servos but I have a bunch and they are fast, reasonably torquey, and have metal gears. Plus they were free.

Just ordered the pinion gears from Mike. He sis not have a 20t 2nd gear so I ended up with a 21t and a 17t. So it will break 90mph in 2nd gear. I think the 2200 should do fine, if it can get a savage up to 60mph it should be able to push this car ok.

lincpimp, i just bought one of these cars and need some help on parts. do you have any of the nitro parts laying around somewhere? In particular i need the motor mount, but any parts lists would help. (I am referencing your post for the clutch bell setup.) I hope to hear from you soon..i live in houston but will be back home in opelousasLA this weekend for easter. would be great if we could meet. thanks

Unfortunately crip, Lincpimp has been taken hostage by his wife and young daughter. He is busy taking care of his wife and new child, and doesn't r/c much anymore. I hate people like that, that do the right thing.(sarcasm)

It may take a few days for him to answer. I suggest sending him a PM, he's a great guy. Hell, at this point he may sell you his car!
