You might be surprised how fast this little procedure is. I removed the center "chunks" from two of the Revo Output shafts, fully prepped in about 30 to 45 minutes or so.
Good to know, I might do that in the future.

I have some good news - the motor mount is almost finished, and is made out of 1/4" polycarbonate, that was bent to 90* with a heat gun. The brake assembly is finished, and should work adequately. Now I just need to figure out battery mounting, chassis bracing, steering servo mounting, and ESC mounting (this ESC is HUGE). I just wish the MT2 chassis weren't so small.
