**Aussie CRT X2 -** 07.27.2008, 08:20 PM

Hey guys .

Following on from conversations and PMs with some of you on RCTech i finally joined here .

My X2 is finished , waiting on the body to be painted and another esc.
Fried the MM when testing the X2 on the bench

Have back ordered a couple of MMM V2 ( one will go in my RC8 conversion ) and will be trying one of Arturs Modded R1Pros out .I can always sell the second MMM if not needed .

Following set up

PQ 5S 4350mah
Medusa 36-60 1600kv motor with 14 t - 15 t pinion ( 38 - 40 mph )
RCM battery tray
TeknoRC universal motor mount
MMM V2 or modded R1 Pro

Everything went smoothly in the build and have to say the driveline is the smoothest i have ever built , very nice

Only mod i had to make was for the Tekno mount .The mount itself is a very niece pice of work , cradles the Medusa like a glove and works as a heat sink .
I had to make 4 countersunk slots in the chassis for the mount so i could adjust gear mesh .
Also since the mount is seperate from the diff any flex in the centre of the chassis would disturb the mesh and could destroy the pinion / spur . I came up with the idea of using Traxxas steel pushrods ( plenty of guys on RCTech gave me some good ideas on bracing the diff ) and attached two pushrods to the top of the diff and rear chassis brace .
This should work well until Mike comes out with an X2 specific mount so i wont need the bracing .
