Could be a nice thing to try and get it over to Brasil. The mascot for my soccer team is a Fighting Cock (Clube Atletico Mineiro). If the need comes, I have some great pics for my avatar, but the current one is for the team I played for and my grandfather was the treasurer for it.

A lot of people have suggested that our drink will be a hit with the latin culture. We may have a connection to get us into Mexico but its too early to know how solid it is. How many players are on your team? You think the guys would enjoy downing a Fighting Cock before killing your opponents in an upcoming game?

Here is the official website: http://www.atletico.com.br/ and here is some wiki info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clube_Atletico_Mineiro. My uncle knows one of the most famous players that played for them "Nelinho" and the stadium is only a few blocks away from where my uncle's house is. My uncle plays futsal with many retired Atletico players as well. Currently Atletico is in second place in the Brasilian National tournament and we have a player that plays for the national team. It's a perfect combination and it could well be the team's official drink. As it stands, Atletico have the most attendance of any Brasilian soccer team and sometimes over 75,000 people fills the stands. One of their current sponsor is one of the biggest construction companies in Brasil. What's your stock looking at the moment? This could be huge for you.

Thats really rather beautiful

[Ryu James]

thanks guys. the body is the proline desert rat body for the baja 5b. its not the best looking but its much better than the stock body. unfortunately the 5t bodies are just too long to work on the rampage but this desert rat body fits pretty good. it makes the truck look much larger too.

i hat to say it but my baby is going up for sale. check the general discussion area for more details. or pm me.

Sorry to see it go. Hope you aren't done with large scale BL.

thanks bro. my income has suffered big time with the changing economy. just threw it up on ebay, along with a bunch of other stuff recently. but i am far from out of large scale brushless. its all i plan to do in the future. in fact, i really just have my sights set on the MCD Evo 3 ultimate for a conversion maybe in the summer...i hope. but i will do a sweet conversion with the MCD at some point. check this out. just found this tonight by chance. its some nice work.

Hey, Ryu. I'm ordering a motor for my Baja 5T conversion. I saw your 1/5 truck on HBF (Nice!). I was wondering if the 2220 would fit in the 5T. Do you happen to remember the length of the motor?

P.S. Please get another build going soon. I love following your over the top project threads!

Depending on how you brace your chassis, and how your motor mount is set up, a 2220 should fit fine. I run a 2230 in my 5T.

Have any pics?

If its rated for 20amps I'd say it can do it. Even in a big truck like that the servos won't draw more than 1 amp each (maybe 2 amp spikes), and each fan will be less than that. You might want to power the servos off the ccbec instead of the reciever though. 1/5th scale guys to this to lower the current going through the Rx, and to make sure the servos get full power. Only the white (usually) signal wire ends up going to the Rx. Glad to see the truck will end up running agin in its brushless glory.

hey Jayson, did you get the soldering figured out last week? let me know what you are up against and i will offer anything i can to help. cant wait to see it running.

Yea, a guy i know that comes into the lhs has a big mean soldering iron, like a power company grade one, he has some high amp airplane and heli setups that he has soldered some bac's on with it (bac- big ass connectors). And hopefully in another week my 2217 will be here, If not i will give Castle a ring. Then maybe ican get connectors on it and then i will be ready to boogey with no brake cause i havent finished them yet.
