That was the idea nice start

ok i almost have mine fabbed up.....i been reading this post...i mounted mine diffrent. i have my cen mount already flipped 90 degrees. i dont wanna post whore on your thread will u guys like to see the pics?

Post the pics!!! :yes:

yes yes post please

Yes pics now!!!!!!!!! These conversions are so rare cases so bring it on :D

Found from another forum. He used 1900kv motor, mm esc and 4s lipo. Custom made diff and motor mounts. Hobao spider diff 52t at the center 10k diff oil in it.
Pretty nice conversion, sturdy diff mounts too :mdr:

ok here we go........ready?Attachment 6589

Attachment 6590

Attachment 6591

mine is a cartrage type clean and held in by the side plates...with 4 screws. its very very strong...note the disk brakes thats ran by the servo on the motor plate flipped over. remember guys measure twice cut once...lol this thing is so much lighter!!! i can put whatever motor i want in here now

all i need is some rc-monster stickers and im ready to go!

That it EXACTLY what i had in mind (without mech brakes)... nice job

What diff did you use for that, was that the center from the stock tranny or something else? everything looks good by the way

nope its out of my new matrix....this is just my first attempt keep in mind.

Nice work xleonex! That's very compact and light weight looking diff mount. What motor have you considered?

I might rethink my diff mount. It might be too fragile. It's just that don't have all these nice equipments to work e.g aluminium :cry:

But to the other news. Guess what guys. Those pics I showed you earlier (genesis with sturdy diff mounts). I think I just bought it :mdr: Should be here early next week..

Looks great.

You'll need to go to 4mm but I can make those spacers for you...

you can thier two diffrent size spacers...if isent the spacers and side plates can someone cnc them?

For me? Thanks, but I think I could do 'em by myself. I have some aluminium tubing here somewhere. Just have to take accurate measures and use some hacksaw. Can't be hard :whistle: Finding a place for it from tvp's is a another story...
I meant that don't have equipments to do any complicated parts..


I still haven't make an order for Mike. Damn! Im missing the most important things. Elecs.
I have thought about 6-8s setup. Medusa 80mm 1100 kv with mmm or lt-10s controller. Don't know if lutach still sells them. Or should I wait till ccneu 1500kv motor? Lipos don't have a clue.. Opinions, suggestions? Im open minded

Well my work may not be as neat and clean as everyone else but here are some pics of what I have so far. I plan on keeping the stock tranny for now. Does anyone have any suggestions on a gear selection for this setup. I am planning on using a mmm with the neu 2200kv motor running off of a 4s 4000mah battery. I have seen the two speed adapter in the rc-monster store site, but I think that it is set up backwards for this application. Should I just order the gears that fit it opposite for what they are listed as, and are the gears that fit it the proper pitch? I am looking to achieve about 35-45 mph.

Thats the way to do it, if you want to keep the stock gearbox. Nice start.
About the gearing. Like I said before that two gear pinion is quite pita. (Expensive and rather hard to get different sizes). I would suggest you to try something what jzemaxx did. He locked the gears so he have to use just 1 pinion. Dunno if it works on 3 speed gb though. jzemaxx owns nemesis which has 2 speed box..

Just my two cents

w00t! My second Genesis arrived today. Dang I must be crazy. Haven't even finished the last one :intello: But the price was so rip off, couldn't say no. 170 $ for genesis and 52$ for spider center diff. And what best there's already diff/motor and battery mounts in it :yipi:

Edit:. Typos

Bump!
Im still waiting some diff stuff to arrive such as oil, bearings, housings etc.

Decided to put my other genesis to a shape.

we should have mike copy those mounts and cnc them lighter!

I second that motion

You're waiting for ass oil to arrive? :lol:

id be willing to send mike my genei to work something out

:rofl::oops:


That would be sweet, but I doubt he isn't interested. Demand for those mounts would be kinda low, I think..
And assembly between the tvp isn't so straight forward. Need some modding for the tvp.
But I would gladly send those mounts to Mike if he would be interested :yes:. But then have to ask permission from the guy who made them. But I know the guy so that shouldn't be a problem..

Video from the guy who sold me the second genesis..

Got more these nice mounts today. Can't bitch anymore that I don't find a place for motor :mdr:
Btw, the kyoshos shafts are prefect fit for front shaft in genesis instead of the telescope axle. If using only center diff. Dunno fitting with gearbox..

Project should continue pretty soon, but now im having lack of motivation

Hey any suggestion for elecs. Battery, motor & controller?
I know that best bet for esc would be now mmm. But should I consider lutach 10s esc too, if running higher voltage eg. 8s lipo? Or should I stick with 6s?
Now that I have two trucks I might want to test different kv's. Maybe 1100 kv in the heavier truck and 1500 kv with the lighter truck?

Those look nice! I want some too!!

hardstyle - Been away for a while to scan all the threads... That is exactly what I had imagined and looks great...

Why not start now with a 6s setup with the MMM and the medusa 80 1600 and then see how things go...

Nice job....

Mine is a 1521 1.5D on 5S and MMM. Awesome setup and ran good and cool at the track.

I know you do :mdr: Those aren't 100% finished though, need to do screw threads. Have to go tomorrow shopping some new drill bits and m4 thread plug or what ever its called :P..


No worrys, im not in a rush..

Yeah that sounds good, have to think about it. And I could always sell the motor if it isn't suitable for my likings.

Still no video from it :diablo: We wanna see your truck in action :yes:


So ok mmm + 80mm 1600kv Medusa are on the list.
What about lipos? Two 3s or just one 6s pack? I don't want the most expensive lipo on the planet, some with reasonable price. Good bang for the buck as you guys mostly say :mdr:

Guess what im doing :tongue:
I noticed that some of the shocks were leaking so decided to change stiffer oils. Also gonna change all the o-rings.. So I hope the leaking will decrease

<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/e9KPd5dkXnHQwdL8x3qVdw?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_h3y_-DGefB8/SdKK_TFyEsI/AAAAAAAABYE/SZyQcHB4kug/s288/IMG_0217.jpg" /></a>


Any idea what these are? They were inside the shocks reservoirs. Are they necessary?

<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/wtmOj-lhRLiBq0KBig3S4g?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_h3y_-DGefB8/SdKLAQgRRsI/AAAAAAAABYU/tCI1NgvgzL4/s288/IMG_0219.jpg" /></a>

Look like limiters

Sry I meant in the external reservoir, where it dumps the extra oil when compressed..
