Hyper 8.5 pro build

[tc3_racer_001]

hey guys! time for me to show you my plan... any help WILL be appreciated...

ingredients:

parts of a pro kit, got the kit 1/2 price after we removed all the useless stuff (which shouldnt have been there in the first place!!) off it.

a neu 1512 2D Smooth can from castle

a mamba monster (when it comes...)

some proline knuckles

a hitec 5955tg digital servo

a 310 FM reciever for my radio

a hyper motor mount

2x 4600mah a123 racing packs (13.2v nominal)

ccbec if needed

a kyosho plastic spur

some gaskets

diff oil

shock oil

some 16mm springs

lastly some 8.5mm bullet connectors (cost the same as 1 lot of castle ones, for 20 of them so i figured why not!!)

and a big mixing bowl :)
















ok, now for the problems!

1. the hyper mount doesnt fit... i have to remove the bottom plate thingy which leaves me with the problem of having to shim up the huge chassis brace as well as the other side of the diff housing thing...

2. the plastic spur needs shims, its like a locked diff at the moment!!

3. my esc and motor have to arrive yet


4. need to make a holder for my 600g batteries... unless i can get them on opposite sides, which is unikely, as the motor is in the way


5. the body is designed to fit an rc8... which means the guards protrude about 22mm each side!!! if i can, im going to make a battery mount and guard out of either acrylic sheet (cause its available) or aluminium which is heavy and harder to work with and will bend i think... and id have to buy it.


6. the servo needs a screw which i cannot find, i think it needs a 2.8x 8 but any ideas???

7. im running out of money haha.


so any suggestions would be much appreciated
