I'm impressed Lito.... I'm craving brushless after I drove my new supervee 27 brushless boat... :mdr:

Thanks. Go ahead and start your brushless build. It's fun.

Here's some pictures of the build progress.

1515 1Y/F installed along with the UE 4-shoe clutch and Kyosho 17T narrow clutch bell. The finned version was almost a tight fit. I had to push it in a little bit. I used 4 8mm caphead screws to mount the motor.

I'll be installing the MMM tomorrow night after I finish soldering all the connections. My target is to do the test run this coming weekend.

Cant wait for the video Lito :yipi:

I hope my son will go to the track with me or else....... :whip::whip::mdr:.

I almost forgot I still need the 2S packs I ordered so I can run 4 and 5S on this truck. Right now, I start with a 36T spur and 17T pinion and go from there. If I don't like the temps, I'll go down to 16 or 15T clutch bell.

Wow that looks great can't wait to see it run... BTW Lito what charger are you using?

Looks great.

Thanks guys.

Chris, I'm using a Hyperion 0610Duo for my charging needs. It's powered by a 25A Pro-peak power supply.

I need to sell my Super brain 977 on fleabay so I can buy more batteries :party::party:.


Edit-We'll see how long this 4-shoe clutch will last.

Looks GREAT!!!!!!!! I appreciate the play by play action of your pics and your walk through process. Good information. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

Sorry for interfearing with my dum pictures that did not apply to your post.

It's okay. We're all here to share information anyway :whistle::whistle:.

Any reason you chose the 2.5 chassis over the 3.3??

It's just a spare chassis I was given :lol:. I might buy a 3.3 chassis on fleabay if I don't like the balance and how it handles.

well done Lito. 17 days from chassis with almost nothing on it to nearly completed.

i must say though, is there any substantial benefit from using the elecktri-clutch? to me it just looks like extra weight.

Thanks.

I'm not really sure how the elektri-clutch is going to work to be honest with you. Since it came with the conversion kit, I might as well try it :intello:. I do have some pinions I can use if I don't like the elektri-clutch.

More update:

I installed the MMM today. I don't like the TeknoRC mounting position so I fabricated my own mount using 3mm aluminum.

Stock on right side, my creation on the left side:

After it was painted.

The holes line up with the rear shock mounts. I used 25mm spacers and 2 40mm caphead screws to mount it in place.

With industrial velcro:

I also lengthened the MMM switch wire:

My biggest concern. The positive bullet connector is too close or either touching the heat sink. I can't install a heat shrink around it.

The MMM temporarily mounted on the truck. The ESC sits lower now instead of being on top of the tranny.

Here's a video on stand. It's running on 3S since I have not received my 2S packs yet. I still have to install the brakes.
