I also like the sectioned lst driveshafts. I see that you sleeved them, did you also weld it too?

Modding the front pinion support takes a bit of work, you need to turn the inside out to the OD of the nose of the lst case, then clearance the back of the collar to get it to fit against the lst case.

hey thanks lincpimp, -what does that mean?
Yea , I thought I took pics, guess not. I did forget to mention I did use a dremel to enlarge the inside of the collar, then a file to even it up.

Yea once I make my CD / motor mounts I will decide on length needed for the front and rear shafts, Then Weld them

Sounds like a good idea on the center driveshafts. The pipe I found had the correct ID, so all I had to do was turn the outside down to the correct OD.

lincpimp came from a bunch of us picking up chicks with an old lincoln towncar that I used to own.

If anyone needs to modify there dif output shafts I found these http://www.hpiracing.com/products/en/82021/
just like the traxxas ones you still need to cut off the threads.


I'm still trying to decide on battery setup

Part of me wants 6s lipo 35C 6400mah
but my wallet cant handle it, with this economy and imposible to get a new job

This car maybe be done ready to roll Shelf queen until I can afford a high power Lipo.
it will be just running around with the 3s 2250 30c I have

That shaft will not work

1: The hole in the flat section is only 2mm
2: The flat section is too long
3: The flange in the middle
4: The distance between the holes


They are not like the Traxxas ones

OOPS, I guess it's not as easy to modify. I thought it would need to be grounded to make shorter, drilled, and put in drill press with file to take off the flange. But if the holes are to far apart then it's definitely not worth it.

Thanks for sharing.

cool thing to do is use your axle stubs for this mod and then buy some titanium revo stubs to replace them on the axle.

Always do a little R&D

I spend a lot of time looking at pdf files and comparing part numbers
BTW the traxxas ones are $4.79 and the Hpi ones are $7.69 almost double prize

ANybody know of someyone that has adapted 1/5 wheels on 1/8 or 1/10 trucks ?
My way is a machining nightmare

Some new mock ups,
Making 1/5 wheel adaptors, square drive and some 5/16 wheel bolys to screw onto the trxxas shafts

For wheel adaptors, I used a 5/16 hex cap head bolt drill the center , cut the threads off, then Tap to 10/32 to match traxxas axle threas and then drill a 6mm 1/8 depth. Been a PITA as it does not always center, need a real machine

Making a tranny/motor mount out of Delrin, cause I dont have any 3/16 aluminum.

Since the car lifts the front under acceleration with just 3S , 15:1 ratio The motor will be mounted in the front almost centered

[SpeedAssault]

brightened it up with some yellow

Nice that Castle makes the ESC Black and Yellow, weird the motor is green
Motor will look hot with Silver and Yellow

Any body have a proven way of removing anodize other than phosphoric acid/water mixture ?

maybe I'll just use high temp paint

[SpeedAssault]

Hey guys what do you think,
time to place the motor and tranny and weld up the shafts so would you say mount all the way forward or partially ?
Also
I'm thinking I should mount motor all the way up front and slightly to one side and use the 6s lipo on opposite side to counter the weight, On the other hand mount motor in center 1:5" above chassis
I like the look of centered but offset gets it lowest CG, what do you guys think ?

Got the motor/tranny mounts finished but having second thoughts
Built it so the motor is just slightly off center but close to the bottom.

Looking good. I'll be watching.

I should start painting my motors, I like green, yellow, blue with a bit of white . Actually I'm in Kearny, NJ, but I was born in a very Americanized little town in Minas Gerais.
