ANybody know of someyone that has adapted 1/5 wheels on 1/8 or 1/10 trucks ?
My way is a machining nightmare

Some new mock ups,
Making 1/5 wheel adaptors, square drive and some 5/16 wheel bolys to screw onto the trxxas shafts

For wheel adaptors, I used a 5/16 hex cap head bolt drill the center , cut the threads off, then Tap to 10/32 to match traxxas axle threas and then drill a 6mm 1/8 depth. Been a PITA as it does not always center, need a real machine

Making a tranny/motor mount out of Delrin, cause I dont have any 3/16 aluminum.

Since the car lifts the front under acceleration with just 3S , 15:1 ratio The motor will be mounted in the front almost centered
