i know this had been done...but have i lost it?

hey guys! long time no type
i came up with the idea myself but after a brief search i found similar projects throughout the forum.
the main difference is that, 1. i has bigger motor (cheaper qual) and 2. only rwd.





after Sundays race meet and blowing both revo diffs on my 2200kv setup i was sick of getting too much power sent to the front wheels no matter what i did so to save weight and cost i was gonna put in a solid centre.

then i looked at my 1/4th scale airboat over in the corner and hatched an evil plan.

pretty straight forward, motor bolted to skidplate/mount thing and revo Uni-joint on the motor end of the prop shaft. the diff end of the prop shaft has a summit CVD.

the ratio's according to mikes calculator show up good. 249kv motor, revo diff (13/37?) = about 41mph on 6s lipo which is exactly what i was geared for before the conversion.

so far my main problem is setting up the MMM and getting the motor to start nicely. the other issue is weak diffs so ive built a brand new revo diff to run in the mean time till i can get my hands on an LST diff and case.
still have to make a skid plate to protect the front of the motor.

other than that....anyone have any tips and tricks they might relinquish?

thanks guys,
shaun
