Custom 1/5 Brushless

[kladal]

Hello All,

Thank you for the valuable advice.

I know the 2217 2y is a remarkably powerful motor. However, including the chassis, wheels (IMEX Kongs), batteries, and electrical components, this vehicle WILL EXCEED 20 pounds. In fact, I expect to be around 24 total; potentially more if I decided to strengthen the lower chassis plate. Also, I intend to exceed 50 MPH despite the fact I'll be using the 8" Kongs. Furthermore, as amperage is a direct correlation to the traction/tire setup, I should not be exceeding peak amperage draw of 150A.

Someone suggested using a Savage Flux-based transmission. I own a Flux and will custom-design an aluminum housing for the gears.

I will make sure to post more detailed pictures of the differentials this evening. Once I get a better idea of the differentials, I am hoping to find the right gearing setup especially since I'm using 8" Kongs.

Thank you all!
