T maxx hv conversion

[lincpimp]

Ok, got a chance today to do some more work on the ol' tmaxx. I made a chassis plate to mount the rcm revo motor mount to. Used a piece of t6 6061 and drilled and tapped it. It mounts to the chassis with screws from underneath and the revo mount bolts to it from the top. It seems very sturdy so I am sure it will be ok. I also picked up a 3.3 tmaxx radio box. It mount in the stock location and just misses the brake pads, I guess the chassis is not symetrical and flipping it over made some difference. The radio box looks big enough to get my receiver and the cc bec in, which should tidy up the chassis alot.

This looks GREAT Linc!

Is that a 6XL?

Nope, it is a 20xl! I found it on ebay and paid 50 bucks, brand new. 834 kv, so it should run about 30k rpm on 10s lipo. I also got my Great Planes 60HV esc and prog card in. It looks well made and even comes with a deans connector already soldered on! The card gives some decent options, like timing and freq, plus cutoff voltage and motor reverse, which is handy caus e I like to hard wire and it can be a pain if you have to desolder two wires and swap them to ge the truck going the right way. I have given up on connectors for mtor to esc wiring, they just seem to cause alot of problems!

The 5mm connectors are pretty beefy. I've never had any issues with them.

That's a great looking setup. Very impressive on the motor. Are you planning on adding some cooling to it?
