Race Inspired MBX5T

Thanks guys and thanks Mike, I might alter my setup, not sure yet. This places the motor extremely close to the center diff so I may keep it this way.

Got more goodies today. My charger and other batts should be here Monday/Tuesday and that should be it. I was hoping to at least have my charger here by today or tomorrow so I could possibly run it but my time is pretty crunched this weekend anyway.



Hyperion goodies



O rings galore, picked this up for $7 a while back



Kyosho spur vs Mugen spur. As you can kinda see, the inner hole is just too big. I need to sleeve it in order for it to work. Other than that, it seems to bolt up. I just need to find some thin tube to go over my drive cup shaft. Sounds a lot like contraceptive, huh?





Center diff reassembled with 10K fluid.



Front steering plate, stock config



Same plate, flipped for motor clearance



Placement of brace in new spot. It's a little offset, but it should be fine. Still playing with this, might have to make the braces go to the center diff instead. I don't like that design, but this may not serve it's purpose in this location. More on this later.

You can kind of see the outline for the cut of the flipped spur gear location here:

Motor and battery placement. I'll have to trim the battery tray a little. It's a tight fit on this side, but the payoff will be balance!






And the man behind the build. My buddy Dan took this while I was working tonight
