I like your motor mount with extended heatsink…see my DIY version..LOL

Silone74

It was yours I had seen that made me try it, I think anything to get stable temps is worth a try, I know I will loose flex in the chassis and if it is too stiff I will return to stock of go carbon fibre for the heat dispersion that will give, I am really enjoying the GTB, swapped to geared diffs and its made a big difference the one thing I have a little issue with is the lack of protection for the motor, esc side I would like to see a slightly wider chassis maybe the shape of the body where it widens from the middle back this would help with the over hang of the motor and wires, not sure if others would prefer that? Maybe it's just me lol

This is awesome.. what sort of surface will you be running your GTB?

ESC choice? Motor Choice?

Please make sure you select at least 30A Speedo..

If you plan on performing a gear diff conversion. Please make sure you use CVD drives..

Stock Ball Diffs are great too..just needs regular maintenance ..

I wanna rock the ball diffs
I already got a speed passion reventon s
So that will go In there. If it fits it's 40a
And I'm still on the fence about what motor I'm thinking leopard but not sure i do have a stock losi mini eight fuse 4500kv I just want a four pole motor after using a castle four pole and emb1 four pole I also has a d680 solar servo I think that the one it a mg mini servo anyways so I could get it going with that but I would rather not switch things up on it multiply times. So I want to get an inolab 261 servo Is this servo a direct dropin? I want to use the leopard 5300kv but the shaft is 3 something either way I don't wanna drill pinions or mess with the shaft so will prolly get the higher kv one. What would you recommend I would rather have torque then top end I love the motor in my emb1 it's percent but I don't think it will fit in it but it's a four pole 4500kv I run a small 1/10 clay indoor and my backyard track is clay top soil mix this is where it'll be most the time but my father owns a Cnc machine shop that's really big he has a huge area and said I could make a offroad carpet track there this winter!!!!

Thumbs is awesome I ordered crush toobs for all three my minis and craig hooked it up with a ton of stickers awesome company they already have my business for anything I can order from them when a company takes the time to make sure your happy I'm not worried at that point of the extra shipping time and money to order international! Do you kno if the inolab a drop in?


Also thumbs shipping was only a week and a half!!!

Not sure on the servo, I use savox 1257 that needs an extra hole drilling in the chassis to fit.

Was drilling the hole tough don't kno how perfectly stright it needs to be I went through a lot of trouble on my micro dt's putting bellcranks on and such so I fig I'd try to stick to drop in stuff on my 14th scales I might give it a go tho.

DIME:RC

If you buy the Servo Posts from Thumbs it comes with a hole drilling template for the savox
