I just drew it out and realized there is no difference. I will get the FP packs instead. Two 4s 25C 5000 packs should do nicely.
You will wonder where the extra power comes from compared to the minamps packs. TBH they are only good for 10th 2wd vehicles, where it is difficult to draw a good load unless you are geared to the moon. I guess that is why traxxas rates their 70mph claim on 8000mah batteries. If you ran 2 3700 fp packs in parallel you would have some serious capability, much more than a ma 8000 pack.

Oh did I mention that the car will be RWD? I already took out all the unnecessary stuff and shaved almost 1/4 pound off the car. Dual-disk brakes also. Single-speed center spool to make things simple.

Here's the body: It has some bite.

Maybe not, but I like to over-engineer everything. If it just wont stop locking the wheels up then I'll go down to a single disk.

As it looked 30 minutes ago:




Lots of room to work with here:




This guy made the cut!




Notice anything missing? I removed the front dogbone, the front diff, and both front CV joints.

I'm going with a slightly different power system. It will be:

Neu 1515/1.5D-s
FlightPower 6s 25C 5000maH
MGM 12032

Only half the potential power of the first system, but I can settle for 2500 watts.

Thanks guys!

Hey do you think I should put the 2-speed in it, or is it more trouble than it's worth? I mean, how long would the 2nd gear clutch last?

OK! Making progress... I bought the motor. A Neu 1515/1Y smooth can. I figure it will be easier on the system and still be PLENTY fast (and because Mike said it was a good choice).

Still waiting for MGM controllers to be in stock. By that time I'll have the cash for it.

The brakes are done. I'll use both electric and mechanical brakes because the thought of not being able to stop this thing is horrifying to me.





I also reinforced the body a bit with some fiberglass rod I had.





Next time on Project Viper: The motor is in!
