Have not seen too many of these truggies on the forum, and now the the MMM is out, I figured it was time to start my conversion!
I picked this rtr model up used, $150 for the truck with everything and spares, so a decent deal. Still need to sell the nitro engine, and a few other nitro related parts. It also needs a good cleaning, as you will see in the pics!
Planned setup is a MMM running a 10xl, on 6s lipo. Picked up a neuenergy 3900 6s pack cheap from amain ($125), and the 10xl was from another member here. I will see how it does with the 10xl, but I would really like a 1515 2.5d. I am waiting to buy one, as CC are making motors, and I can wait if they will offer what I want!
Got a hyper motor mount from Mike, and put a kyosho plastic 46t spur on the diff. The hacker 15l is just for packaging purposes, checking to see if the 46/13 gearing will allow the motor to clear the rear chassis support. It looks good, and I have a little room to go down to a 12t pinion if I need to.
Battery tray will be made from kydex, and placed in the gas tank location. I will most likely put the mmm behind it on that side, but need to weigh all of my components to get the best balance.
