project: pocket change gone brushless?

[zippo855]

well i have 2 brushless projects planned for this year, and here is the first one. the brushless parts showed up today. and the car should be here before to long. plans are
losi brushless motor and esc combo,
losi receiver
650 mah lith ion 4/5 aa.
aluminum chassis.
and more, this is all i can think of right now.

wow! how much did you pay for that brushless. ive been thinking about getting one. would it work on a gen1?

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

,ooo, ineresting, is this a mini or a micro, and is it even going in a losi product?

[c1v1c]

You clearly see 1:36 scale on the package, which means its for micro,
and the thread is create in the xmod project section

Which equal to a brushless xmod conversion, come one guys, it's not that hard to figure out

As far as mounting goes, you should go with breiti's way and fit it in a hacked 130 size can.

Good luck, can't wait to see more!

Hey! Where are the pics of the shell?
Anyway looks like you have a nice project here, I'll be watching this.
And I agree with c1v1c you should make this one a sleeper.

the only thing you would have to worry about it getting pinion gear / spur gear setup modded into it. the motor shaft is smaller than an xmods

seeings as how i dont own a losi product, i would have to say no on the losi. and since its in the xmods section.. well civic said it best. lol

thats my plans, make this the ultimate sleeper. digging through my cans at the moment. i was wondering if the holes in a chili style can would match up, but i cant find the can right now.

Got any ideas of the speed? Or your goal? Hope this all turns out good for you, and which pinnion/spur are you using?

not sure on the speed yet. never even ran a micro t so im not sure of their capabilities. and i have some micro t pinions on order, and a micro t spur i am going to try to adapt to an xmod spur.

little update. didnt think about needing the screws i knew were needed to mount the motor inside the can. but i did get it set in the can. hows it look? xmod motor, or not?

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

now that i know what this project really is very interesting, and i'll be frank with you guys, no amount of my pondering would have ever brought me to this conclusion, so basicly you could classify as a functional idiot

seriously,

lol, it doesnt look like a brushless motor just looking at it. lol im hoping this will be faster, anyway quicker accelerating than the chili was.

yep, should be here saturday or so and that is what this is going it.

[dccracing]

so is this gonna be a dragster, or track, drifter? what? the suspence is keeeling meeee!!!

[himynamebebrian]

wow, im gonna have to try something like this some time. looks great

[zippo855]

well got some goods today, and the body is here. i got the body posted up in the picture gallery. but goodfellaz also hooked me up with a spur gear from the micro t.
took a little playing around and modding but i have it adapted to the xmod spur gear now.
heres some pics

[amorton94]

get it running and lets see some vids!!!

[zippo855]

well i found out i have to hack to motor cradle to get this in there. and custom make the pinion. luckily i ordered 2 sets of pinion gears. and i glued them end to end. this is the only way it is going to reach from the motor to the spur gear. here's some pics.
and no i didnt want to hack the cradle off of the chassis so i grabbed a beater partial chassis.

[himynamebebrian]

looks good, i can't wait to see a video once youve got it runnings.

[zippo855]

well i got the motor setup figured out. and got some pics. now i just need to get some mounting scrws and she will be good to go. then i will get a test video up.
