Hi Folks,

Just a bit of an update on this project of mine. I've received the kit now, and I am going to use the stock chassis for now, purely to do a bit of playing around with motors/gear ratios to suit my style of driving.

I have decided to start off with the Mamba Max ESC coupled with the 4600kv Mamba motor. I am planning to run a 3s lipo pack, mainly because I have a few of them to use already, and this motor seems like the best one to make use of the battery voltage available.

Regarding the motor mount, then I am in the process of knocking up a replacement diff mount that incorporates a motor mount. Nothing fancy, just basic and functional.

I have ditched the CRT.5 stock brakes, radio tray etc etc, and I am looking into getting the toolroom guys at work to machine a couple of alloy steering mounting posts for me. failing that, I'll hack something out from solid myself :)

I'm looking forward to getting this thing going now :)

Cheers
Andy
