Had to get some airflow to this beast! It was thermalling back there behind the tranny completely blocked and in 95F* it shuts it down midrun. I accidentally found out that Traxxas made their ESC mounting holes the same width as servos!
Hopefully the switch is far enough along on the chassis that it won't get full of dust and die again. Its also REALLY easy to turn off and on where it is. And be sure to notice my quad debris protection on the fan. Makes for a mess of wires though! Would a reciever box help? Can anybody link me to a(some) waterproof ones?
O man check this out! This setup I really stumbled upon while configuring the other. It is to off set the motor and the ESC being on the one side. I had to use a ziptie(light blue) toward the rear of the truck because a strap hits the rear center dogbone cup besides I've started charging batts while still straped to the truck anyway.
The ziptie almost underneath the spur gear is to stop the batt from moving foward any and it works! I've used zipties like this many times!
Mark and anyone else that uses a single battery could mount completely in the center! If they had a monoblock!
And do you see the potential of using three batts to uptain 6s or to increase runtime with some in parrelle! I mean doing it this way means you wouldn't have to stack the cells so high giving a lower center of gravity!
Once I get that CD/motor mount from Mike I'm gonna be really rocking this setup!
I put the FLM aluminum coller on the Proline steering shaft. I like it better!
How can I better protect my screws from rust? Spray them with WD40 every so often?
See pics. LOL

Unless it affects weight balance too much, but it shouldnt do. That will also allow you to shorten to the motor wires quite alot for less resistance and a cleaner look. Though muddy is also a good look  |
