Do you think he might have one that fits the 22 series that converts the 30mm to 25mm?

Don't know if he has one... But I'm sure it would be easy for him to make.

Thats good news because I was thinking of getting one of the KB45 motors. Anyone know if the endbells or pressed or not? I might see about getting Mike to make a heatsink/clamp for one...

OK reeeeeeally overdue update.

Its finished and I did get it out for a couple evenings of parking lot oval racing before the weather got way to cold. It was still cold out so the tires werent holding the pavement that well. the most fun part was the speed runs. Its a huge lot where we race so I was able to really open it up. I had my 1/8 buggy up to 60mph and this thing was way faster. no radar or GPS yet, but I'll get GPS onit in the spring. It was so fast I was almost afraid to totally open it up. I dont think I really ever got it to top speed. I'll wait untill sping and warmer temps so the tires have better grip. As for the oval racing its almost to fast. I had a hard time keeping the back end in line with the cold temps and poor tire grip. I let it get out of line the first night I had it out and wound up clipping a concrete pole at 30-35 mph. It really sucked. Turned out all the broke was the rear hub carier and I bent the rear CVD and blew out one rear bearing. I was able to straighten the bone and the rest was thankfully only a $11 fix with shipping.

Fixed it and had it one more time on a relatively nice night (40 degress F

) This time I got a chance to put some laps in and I gotta say I think I really like it. It absolutely ripps. It takes a lot of thottle controll and take a very diferent driving style to get it around the corners quickly, but once I got the hang of it I had it really turning some fast laps. Nobody was keeping up.

I really liked the 2 speed. On the straight, it was like a little turbo boost kicking in and it just lurched when it hit 2nd gear. Once spring hits I'll start working on tuning the suspension to get it right and dial it in. Is still box stock setup and I'm sure it will be able to be tuned for much more consistant performance.

Anyway... nobody really want to read all this blather. Here are the finished pictures. Sorry no more vid. I broke it the first time I brought it out and didnt get any, and then forgot the camera the other time.

Its snowing and cold as hell here now. So no vid till spring. I will get some then, but it will be a few months which really sucks cuz I hate having this nice new toy and not being able to play!

jUst wanted to know, how much were your electronics, I want to really get my project DM-1 started someday soon.... besides the electronics, what else did you have to modify or buy from RC monster?
