Now that's pretty damn sweet! I really want to see how that motor mount holds up to a few of those landings though.

Oh it's your truck not something you filmed at the event? Screws are strongest under tension like they are on landings. Plus they're 4mm, it would take a lot to snap them. The aluminum of the Castle motor is a high quality (6061 or better) as long as the screws thread in far enough I wouldn't worry there either. Considering the weight and length of the motor I can't blame you though.

My concern lies with the actual motor mount. The manufacturer has failed to impress with previous products but it has been said changes in materials were made. I guess I'm saying check it once in awhile. Sorry to cause a fuss. It is a very cool conversion, the large scale stuff is definitely nutty in a very good way! Thanks for sharing.

+1 would like to seee the chassis, assuming a Kershaw Designs Conversion from what I can tell.

Got a pretty upgraded Rampage MT here that is collecting dust as a gasser, maybe it needs electric treatment but I want to have waterproof electronics for some snow runs, wish there a 1/5 ESC that was like that.

what kind of runtime are you seeing and what batteries are you using?
