Some ideas/brainstorming for a 1/7 scale on road car build

Ok, I am not quite with it today.

For some reason I thought I could swap the steering bellcranks and put the servo on the other side...WRONG

So I got the motor out of the flux, set it up on the same side as the steering servo, and found some small pinions, 18/22, for the 2 speed adapter. It all fits, with room to slide the motor over for the smaller 16/20 gearing I need to order.

Also, the brake servo will fit behind the steering servo and in front of the centerfront bulkhead. So good to go. Battery fits a little better on the opposite side, and the MMM looks lost behind it. I do need to figure out some sort of tx/bec mount or box.

Only issue is that the rear brace off the rear diff bulk will need to be moved to clear the motor. Looks like I can swap in a longer turnbukle and run it slightly diagonally and mount it on the other side of the rear center driveshaft.

Forgot to take pics but will do that in the morning.

Manufacture a new steering link, perhaps?

I would have to make an ackerman plate too, and the arc of the mount points of the bellcranks would be very weird if I swapped them. I will stick with putting the motor and both servos on one side, and the battery and esc on the other.
