xtm xt2 brushless conversion

hey guys im thinking about getting a xt2 and converting it to brushless. reason for the xt2 is cause my friend has a rolling chassis he wants to sell me for cheap. and i have almost all the stuff to make it run.

just wanted to know what motor mount should i use. like do u think one of the rcm mounts would work on it.

I had the original Xterminator, and Mike made a motor mount and servo mount for it. If the center diff mounts/holes are the same dimensions on the XT2 as they are on the original Xterminator, then Mike should be able to make you one very easily, since he has the saved design of it.

alright i well ask him if i get the buggy. but i was kinda thinking of just seeing if i can convert the center diff to a rc8 one and using the rc8 motor mount he already makes. sicne i work at hobbypoeple and we carry the rc8 parts it sould be pretty cheap.

As long as the distance between the mounting holes on the XT2 and the RC8 are the same it should work fine...

Please let me know if that rc8 mount work for your xt2. I have the mammoth pro kit

i have a xt2 brushless. its sweet. 2200kv mmm on 5s. used a kyosho rc-monster motor plate. no mods to the plate. just some spacers on the top of the stock front tranny bracket and some trimming on the bottom!!

what chasis are you using?? looks like you upgraded your shock towers as well?

[johnnychaos]

the shock towers and chashere alot strongersis are xtms "upgraded" parts. there alot stronger and hella cheap..... red tag at hobby people. i raced 2 rc8's and a sc8 and smoked all 3 of em. a friend drove it (racer 9) and he was shocked how well it did.... he told me i should race it..... it would hurt peoples feelings.

wow, you've inspired me to keep my xtm..i was going to go and splurge on an o'donnell z01-b since tower has easy pay on it, but this would make a perfect "Sleeper" as we say in the street racing world. lol, instead of wasting 500 bucks on the o'donnell i'll just upgrade some of my xtm parts and go brushless with it as well

also what is the part number on the chasis??
