Cool. I'm curious to see how that turns out. That m2c stuff is too expensive for me... Says the guy who just installed these... Lol

Was funny cause we celebrated my son bday today since my parents are down here. He got his slash today so we were working on that and here comes fedex. Actually thought they had the bronco body cause it showed it would be here today and this stuff showed Tuesday

Aren't you on the hook for a body-fit report before you can start on all those upgrades?

 

[Lostinthewoods86]

Waiting on one body and need to cut the raptor body

I think we have established Lostinthewoods was also blind as a bat in the bayou. It fits

Got the M2C stuff in and swapped the servo horn.

What a tank! How does the ESC fit up there?

Motor mounted up

Still waiting on the rpm cage for the esc

Does that RPM cage bolt up to that mount?

As much as I'd hate to do it, I'd probably resolder those motor wires so the came out the back of the motor. Well, I dunno. Looking at it again, you can probably run them pretty cleanly that way.

Not exactly. I want with the Traxxas one because it was more square

I think I'm going to countersink some holes in the bottom of the cage and drill/tap some holes in the plate underneath

If it were me, I would reverse engineer that cage mounting face with hole locations, then I would reverse engineer this plate to match

Then I'd find a machine shop buddy to make it for me. Damn, I miss machining!

I’m trying to picture what you talking about on the cage

I’m trying to picture what you talking about on the cage

Basically, that aluminum plate on top of the mount is like an adapter plate to adapt to a HW ESC I believe. I'd make one that was the shape of that ESC cage you just bought and put the hole locations in the new aluminum plate to bolt that cage to it proper. But that is what I'd have done when I was still machining. If you know a guy down there that machines, it would be an easy part to whip out on a lunch break, if he had the blueprint for said part.

Because if I had to guess, the mounting locations already in that cage are designed to be the strongest points to mount it. Just guessing.

Got some work to do

But first I need to clean the bench, it’s a disaster
