[Clubin]

Yes. That’s a conversion kit for a McD to go from gas to electric!

Yes that’s a max 4 hobbywing.

Waiting for gears and my 6s batteries then I’ll fill you in more.

Why? Why not. We camp
Lots, tired of bashing my Xmaxx’ s and Kratons. This will be fun!
Gas to loud in provincial campgrounds.

Couple of these bad boys.
QS8 connectors are what I’m going to go with.
They are rated for 300a. The esc is 400a. It’ll work just fine!

It’s a McD. That’s a cool setup for a
Kraton 8. Not an option for a McD. I do have a couple 2028’s sitting on the shelf.

How heavy is the MCD?

Heavy! 33 lb rolling chassis. Ultimate.

How many watts will that generate?

 

[Clubin]

How many watts will that generate?

Watts? Sure you mean amps.

Continuous 300a. Peak 2000amp.

50 volts coming out of 12s

But ohms law would say 15,000 watts. Continuous.

Ya, I think you forgot I have a 12s MCD too! Clubin big ballin though cause he got a few ultimates. 2600$ per ultimate is no joke. I'm actually about to buy an FT-R spec MCD buggy as soon as it's back in stock and that one is close to the ultimate but only 2000$

Here goes a poor man's 12s ultimate clone! I actually still have like 3 more alu upgrades to install. Think I bought damn near every upgrade they make for the rovan f5 and even put mcd ultimate shocks on it

Nope. On castle data logs there is a chart for power, either watts or HP. That is what I was referring to

This is gonna be sweet!

 

[Clubin]

It is a gas car. I’m using the brakes on centre diff.


avoid the gyro. Learn to drive it.

 

[Clubin]

Some progress. Motor mounted. Batteries fit. Mounting the esc will take some thought.

 

[violet604]

Looking sweet!

On all the MCD’s it says “adjustable weight distribution” - how exactly does that work if both those huge batteries are on one side?

Can you actually manage to distribute the weight or you’re going to leave it as is?

It’s going to be the way it is, interesting thought though. Once it’s done I’ll weigh all 4 corners individually to see what the difference is. I’m going to say it’s not going to be much.
