Various Baja 5b questions and a possible new project

I did actually. I set the Texp low on the radio and it helped a lot. The MMM (V2) still had trouble even after I played around with the settings. IDK why. I put the MMM in there because the Sentilon was still a bit jittery on take off. This was with the 30/40 gears. I replaced them with 20/51 gears for "normal" driving and the Sentilon would light up all four tires on command, as would the MMM.

The SC data looks fine. You do have tire ballooning at 0, but that only affects the top end. Can you get any smaller pinions if you need to? Or do the 1521's have an 8mm shaft...? I hope you can pull it off... It will definitely out-perform the gas version. With two motors it will (still) weigh less, but have twice as much power!

12t is the smallest I can find. They do have 8mm shafts... I could swap out to a different spur, but I think the mod 1.5 is there for a reason. Looks like the dual motor mount plate will be fairly easy to make, but I would like some sort of rear motor support.

Thinking a clamp style mount like FD did, minus the tape, silicone and bottle caps. I wonder where else I can get a 39mm clamp mount? I do not want to buy from FD, that is for sure. Mega has 36mm mounts, I wonder if any of the boat places have clamp mounts? More seraching to do now...

Ding! Found this from OSE: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...jwr-mount-flat

A couple of bucks cheaper than FD, and I know Steven well.
