Brushless Traxxas Jato

[Batfish]

Here are a few pics of my latest project:









And here's the current setup (as you see it in the pictures).
The Jato is absolutely stock, with the following additions/changes:
Lehner basic xl4200 motor
MGM 12012 speed controller
19-tooth 32-pitch pinion gear
(This matches VERY closely with the Jato stock .8 mod spur. It's not exact, but the spur should last for some time.)
Home-made motor mount
(Made from an aluminum elbow bar I got at Home Depot. Made with a reciprocating saw, cordless drill, and a dremel.)
FMA BalancePro 2s2p lipo pack
(The pack is currently sitting on the top of the chassis plastic. I will be investigating raising the motor so the battery can sit beneath it, flat on the chassis).
Traxxas dish wheels
Losi IFMAR pins (red) in the rear
Losi directionals (red) in the front

I kept the brake servo to provide the braking, rather than using the speed controller. The steering is stock, but I expect to replace the bushings with bearings and install a faster servo. The stock Traxxas 2055 is more than enough power for the steering, but I think I'd like it a little faster.

Performance is pretty impressive with the 2s lipo. I left a couple little ruts in my back lawn last night. I'll try and get a short video tonight so I can share it here.

I also need to get into the tranny to adjust the shift point to occur sooner. Like my MGT, I'd like it to shift into second at about 1/4 throttle. During my 10 minutes or so of driving last night, it didn't shift at all.

Lastly, I did a horrible gluing job on my tires so I don't know what I'll get for a speed run, but I'll try nonetheless and report back what I find.
