Hey everyone.

First i wanted to say what a great site this. Its my first post, and from reading and reading and reading all the information in here i can tell there are tons of great people in here who know what they are talking about and are willing to help.

this is just a thread to show you guys what I'm dealing with in my first ever brushless conversion with a Kyosho MP7.5 buggy. it might be the kanai version, but i am not the original owner, so im not sure.
I scored this on ebay as a roller for around $150. i have never had a 1/8th buggy before and brushless is the only way i would get into the genre. Now is my chance.
the chassis has not on scratch on the bottom, but the tires are all about bald, so i guess the guy did some donuts on his driveway, put it on a shelf and sold it to me. its practically brand new.

since these pics were taken i have started to mock up a motor mount, and also cut the servo tray to make room for the motor on the right side.

ugly body...

with the stock stuff in it...

with the chassis stripped of the nitro stuff and radio box.

pics of the mocked motor mount. (yes i know its on the wrong side)
i imagine this motor mount would work for a short time and the eventually break my diff mount because it is only mounted by where the Brake system was. i have some 1/4 inch alum to carve up with a hack saw and see what i can come up with. in the end i will probably get the mount that is made here. just wondering if the 777 motor mount fits the 7.5?

thanks for taking a look guys.
