as per the title, here are the pics from my first conversion and first electric car..

thanks to every one here and at LSTforums for helping me decide on the ESC/motor/BEC/Pinions and batteries..

This thing flys

It took me 2.5 days to do and I was worried about a feww things like gear meshing, the brackets holding up and programming the ESC, but I calibrated my radio changed ESC to 12v cutoff and forward/brake only, and off it went!

I was in a whare house the other day cos it was raining, and I could go from 1/2 or 3/4 throttle to full and it would break traction and also tyres would turn into pizza cutters!!!!!

I am also happy with temps and CRAZY LONG run time, ESC temp is cold, Motor after 1 hour is about 140 and 1+ hour on the batts!

Thats what is so cool about these conversions all the different ideas and setups.Looks good.I have a Matrix just sitting there i know a lot of kyosho parts fit the matrix.

Great to see a Matrix converted, They are a very under appreciated buggy.

Looks like a pretty cool setup but that motor plate may be a little thin.

+1 on seeing a matrix converted and recognition of it being under rated. Last week I let my local track know that the Arena is underrated also and plan on making that point everyweek this summer LOL.
