can you post some pics of the bottom and list some of the parts used for the conversion. It looks like a rc10gt rear with t3 front? I am looking to do something similar for oval racing.

thanks

Thanks guys.

The bottom is just the regular chassis, nothing extra really. Its a XTM X-Cellerator nitro, converted to electric. No AE parts besides thee motor mount here.

Its not an oval truck, even though I wish there was a track around.

Do you still want a list even though I didn't build it for the oval?

PM replied to.

Oh and Evader or Traxxas spurs work well. You may have to open up the bearing hole though.

I have one based on a Rc10 GT, I used a RC-Monster revo motor mount as opposed to a homemade or custom mount. I can show pics if you want to see it, but don't want to steal annie's thunder

Nice truck! I did the same thing with a RC-10GT. I used a TC4 motor mount and had the battery inline. I then mounted the servo upright right behind the shock upright and had it connected to the front wheels directly. I used a RC-10L servo saver on the servo. Worked out nicely! Don

I remember talking to a GT owner who had done the same. I think it may have been one of you. You guys can post up pics to further assist Stealitall, this thread is WAY old.
