I haven't seen one of these converted before. There are a few different things that could work, depends how much you want to put into it. You could make a custom mount, and keep the transmission (although not sure the 2-speed would hold up or be the best choice). Or you could get rid of the transmission and go for a center diff with the RCM mount: http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=rcmcdmm You could also use one of the other mounts from a variety of buggies and truggies and use the center diff assembly from one of those.
I don't know if the RCM Revo mount could work, might look into that too. |
thankīs for the info and at the moment the doubt is reaally if it will run ok on 3s lipo.
i was thinking buy a 2650kv castle motor and a hobbywing sc esc and run it on 3 lipo.
i like light setups and i donīt wanīt more that 30 to 40 mhp...
thankīs
