of course. it will be on the aluminum chassis thats i put up in my garage last night. the black one. i just don't want to tear into that motor pod until i had the setup perfected.

[himynamebebrian]

that chassis looks sweet! you should post those pictures in here so people can see what body it is and stuff

[zippo855]

well i finally made it to get some screws for the motor. bad thing is you have to buy a hardware kit for 4 bucks, and only have 2 useable screws. lol, o well, looks like next package coming your way goodfellaz will have some micro screws, lol.
i just need to secure the gear in place, and then she will be ready for a test run on the dyno.
and he said, let there be light.

man that looks great that thing is going to be so fast nice
work on it btw keep up the good work

[zippo855]

hit 40 on the speed checker. but i just built this pack and hadn't charged it yet. shes on the charger right now.

heres a short video. she has quite a bit of torque, when shes jerking on the speed checker, its from letting off the throttle and hitting the throttle again.

[zippo855]

got it all tucked under there. took 2 tries, but it works. so heres some shots til i get a test drive

[xmodzracer]

well so much for the sleeper look lol... enjoy the build?

[zippo855]

lol, yeah with the body off it doesnt look like much of a sleeper. lol.

update
well i put it on the ground and it went 5 feet like a bat out of hell and it snapped the pinion. so i revamped it to use an xmod pinion and spur. heres some pics
and lets just say, its quite a bit faster 81 on the speedchecker

[XMDrifter]

nice, fat pinion
i think the fatter gears will help with the power
and get new tires...
it's quite a beast.
put a normal stock bodyshell over it and use it for drag racing

[zippo855]

heres a couple videos. i had one more that didnt load so i have to try reloading it later

[dontspamme]

This thing is looking great. Gotta love BL power!

I see your watching Family Guy. Something about a news cast.

[zippo855]

o yeah, the brushless turned out pretty good. took 3 or 4 different pinion / spur setups before i found one that would work all the time. the others would work on the speedchecker fine, the first setup snapped when i put it on the ground and tried it, and the xmod pinion spur wouldnt take off from a dead stop on the ground.

any other comments or input? what do you guys think?

[amorton94]

soo.....how long til you make a kit and start selling them..... i want one and i'm sure everyone else wants one too.

hmmm. might be able to come up with a kit in the future. definately something to think about. i think i might do a gen 1 conversion as well.

well i think this weekend i will sneak out and get some videos with the beater body i have for this. here's hoping anyway

[ling427ttvette]

I want that Camaro body.. it's the one that inspired me to start working on mine again.

get some really soft mini-z tires and shave the ridges on your wheels so you can get some traction. this is rwd right?

rwd, soft treads, glued onto subaru rims. i took the rims off the subawow project since the other ones were flying off on the dyno.

but i will see how she does on the tennis court, i know you can see them spinning quite a bit on the carpet. But not a bad idea, might pick some up. any suggestions on which ones? not real familiar with the mini z upgrades / wheels / tires and what not.
