Ok and it begins. Parts came in today

Just into it and hit first issue. The arrma center diff is too dam big for this little car lol. Resolution. Dremel out 6 arrma shock disk and use them as spacers. I refuse to use misc parts if I can make arrma parts work. Fingers crossed

Update
Diffs, electronics and conversion done. Need to head to lhs to see what else arrma will fit

She is bn ripping. Just ran 6s on her. My gps is dead so can't get a mph but faster then 50 mph easily. I speed ran her till lvc and she was barely warm. I have a 17 tooth on her. She wont fit any bigger so I am going to drop to a 45 spur and hope I can squeeze a 19 pinion in her.

I ran her a couple days ago on lunch. Killed what was left of the tires in 1 battery. GPS said 59.9mph tires spinning most the way to it. That was on a 16 t pinion and she barely got warm.. gonna order a 23 tooth and she how that works. Goal is 100mph

 

[crankestein]

good luck with that reaching 100mph...

Besides the above, buggy electric conversion looks clean.

If you like that kind of stuff, here is a good site. I converted a Sportwerks Turmoil to brushless, 4S and it rips, more than enough with a 19T, anything faster and any little bump and its airborne.

I ran her today on 20 t pinion and she hit 87.6 mph I have a 45t spur that will be here tomorrow and a 23t pinion just incase that doesn't do the trick lol. It barely got warm thanks to it being 40°f today. She is going to hit the 100mph mark but she might only get 1 run before the blx gives out on me. I will check that out right now.

Lets see some pics of the setup, if you can.

This is after today's run. She hasn't been cleaned yet. The 45 tooth spur was in the mail today. So that is going to happen first to see where she is at

Just did the math. I'm pretty much on par given the lost from weight and wind.
Definitely helps its only 4.5 pounds with battery
