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

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

I would take a scuff pad to the motor and get in all of the little grooves. Then spray light coats of yellow until it iss covered. Let it dry in the sun for a day or so and the take some light grit sandpaper and sand the fins till the al shows back thru. That would look really good with the black endcaps.
