Doesn't look anywhere as nice/final as yours, but still goes like a rocket and feels good to actually have found the time to get it done. Seeing yours though, I might need that dual Servo tray though so I can re-fit the brake disc.. As it does have some issues slowing down quickly..
Not sure it will fit with my battery arrangement.
Since the pic's were taken I've installed fan on the motor heatsink, put the servo tray (original - but cut to fit) back for steering, stuck down the power button, tidied the cables and actually driven it.. Probably should get newer pictures of it..
It's good fun
[edit: I've only run it a couple of times with the esc braking set to 75%, might solve the slowing down if I bump it to 100% but will have to wait until next time]
That looks great Alex. As for the dual servo tray you might be able to fit it. as it uses the first 3 servo tray holes. Not sure though. I use mech brakes on all my conversion because I worry about overworking the motor. It's probably my own issue but since RC-monster has one available I figure I would use it.
I am working on another one but in IGT2 length. Should be similar, but not as extravagant on all the nuts and bolts. I want to see some 8th scale pan car conversions as those things are just plain awesome. Anyone got pics of converted 8th scale pan cars they can post with some details on how they did it.
