Nitro to Brushless Buggy/Truggy Conversion

[MetalMan]

Welcome to RC-Monster!

First off, do you have the original X-Terminator or the XT2?

You can't decide gearing until you know what battery you will be using.

I'm not so sure any of the FD mounts will be able to properly hold the CC MMM motors. Around here the much-preferred method of holding the motor is by using a motor mount that replaces one of the center bulkheads, and supports the center diff. This setup is much more secure and a lot less prone to any issues related to chassis flex between the pinion and spur.

Thanks very much.

As for the buggy, it is the original 1/8th scale XTM X-Terminator (It was a RTR kit but now its pretty much a frankenbuggy).

Are there any other mounts that will be able to hold that motor in place or is it going to be a problem? As for the FD mount, it was the product that was recommended to me by a user on another board, but if you think there is a better product I am open to suggestions. Hopefully there is another product that will work with the X-terminator

I was planning on getting the ball rolling today and ordering the motor, but ill wait until I hear back from you guys about the mount.

I look forward to what you have to say. Thanks for the help!

Cheers!
