Well, the main reason was because I used one of the nitro motor mount plates under the battery tray and I wanted to use the existing holes in the chassis as much as possible.

I made a second set of holes in the tray so that I can move it up if required, but where it is provided the best overall balance for the car.

Handling wise, its feels as good as the nitro. Its a tad heavier so it seems a bit more settled in the air but the landings are harder obviously.
Its hard to compare them too closely however, as I run a DX3R/SR3100 in the nitro, and a DX3.0/SR3000 in the electric.

I haven't had a chance to let both loose on the track just yet as its been closed for the last few weeks. Had the Queensland electric state titles, and this weekend is our annual 2 day nitro event so they've had the track closed to "spice" it up a bit and make changes so its a level playing field for everyone on the weekend.

I'll hopefully get some track time with both this weekend and post up after.

I see. When I said handling-wise I meant did it feel different from how the nitro handles since most of the weight is at the rear?

Please give us an update after you race it around at the track. I'd like to know if it handles just as good as the nitro in the speed and cornering department. Would be nice to even have some laptime figures. Please take record of the runtime as well. I'd like to know how long the pack goes in race condition. Thanks.

BTW, your conversion is very clean and simple. I especially like the fact that you barely modded the chassis. I plan on giving my ST-RR some HV therapy sometime next year.

Where so you think the nitro engine goes? that sits in the rear.

I fly, I drive, but most of all I crash.
