oh btw Kaz and others,
i talked to OSE and they said they would have these mounts in stock for the 2215 in about 2 weeks. you might want to email them in a couple of weeks if you havent already found a mount. http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...jwr-mount-flat

also, i am having 3 made of my own, so i will have 2 extra. we worked on CAD designs on tuesday and already have the 3x3 alum block. the shop is supposed to have them done this week. they are gonna be awesome. CNC'd from solid billet 6065 t6. they will have all the holes needed for great airflow. i cant wait to get them back. i still have no idea how much they are gonna cost me but i am hoping not very much.

I ordered one of those strap mounts from Jim Williams at southriverrcboats.com

I think if we could get down to a 10T Mod 1.5 pinion that would be ideal sdp-si.com has a 12T

qtcgears.com has a 42T spur but it has a hub so you would have to grind it off or something.

You might be able to shim the locker mounts and top plate up to get the 42T spur to fit but then you migh run into binding on the dog bones. sdp-si.com does sell u-joints...

Dude, that rampage looks AWESOME in person... the pictures does not do it justice... A buddy of mine had the rampage and brought it out this past weekend, it was sweet as heck... Because of that, I have the MT Pro coming my way... I can't wait.. That rampage is awesome man...! You've got to post of the brushless video when you're done..

i just ordered a couple 40t spur gears and i found a 12t pinion gear that will work. its kind of thick but that will give me more room to set mesh and where i mount my motor.

i just punched in the figures on the rc-calc and the 40t/12t gearing i think will work sweet. that gives a theoretical speed of 57mph which is the same as all my 1/8s. in reality it will probably do around 50mph which is what i am after. now i just have to hope that this gearing will work and provide cool temps.

KaztheMinotaur · 08.01.2009, 06:55 PM

Yeah, I think that will be good also.

I have a nice small CPU fan that will run real nice on a 3S Lipo. That should cool the motor.

It's SO BIG part 2:

There are (8) 50V 330uf caps and dual 12 guage power and motor wires. USB programable. I'm not too thrilled about the 12 guage wires, especially since the sales dude said they were 10 guage. We shall see. Pencil eraser for scale.
