Hobao Hyper One Seven conversion.

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Started in on the conversion after finally assembling the rest of the pieces.

RCM Hyper 7 mount
Diff conversion (probably change this out to a spool later since its on-road).
(2) 150x50mm trays.
CC 1717 1580kv / Mamba Max Monster.
6S 5000mah

Since i wanted to run a dual batttery setup like my truggy, I reversed the diff and also reversed the front/rear dogbones. Originally the engine was far back with a 160mm dogbone connecting the center diff to the front diff. I reversed this and used a Jammin X1 center CVA to allow enough room to mount up to 90mm long motors.

I spent a bit deciding on just where to put the battery trays. I mocked them up pretty close to the center driveshaft, but in the end I decided that it would be too difficult to lose the rear brace. Its such a long chassis, it needs the brace to stay stiff. I had thought of running a tie-rod from the rear bulk head to the center diff, and from the center diff to the front bellcrank brace. I may re-arrange it later.

Using the existing servo tray I'm going to cut a new piece of CF that will extend to the right/rear battery tray and bolt to it to add stiffness to the front portion of the chassis. This ray will also extend out a little beyond the chassis and I'll mount the ESC, BEC, and Rx there. Assuming I can cut the CF straight and not mar it up it should look pretty trick when done.

Don't know how much its going to come in at weight wise, but its already not what I'd consider a light weight. It may weigh more than the Jammin X1CRT truggy does when loaded for Bear with (2) 5000mah 3S batteries.

Tires right now are going to be an older set of GRP grandini's, but their small diameter limits me speed wise since I'm only running a 22t pinion. I should have ordered larger. But I based all my gearing calcs on a 4.5" tire, and forgot that the GRP's are only 3.8".
