Re: New bolt-in mid motor conversion project
It's getting SOOOOOOOOO close!
Gear spacing worked out
Plenty of room to adjust the slipper
All kinds of space!
Look ma, no cutting! Motor clears the pan with tons of room.
Transverse battery cups can fit in the middle (shown) or forward position.
Couple more minor tweaks to the trans case, a motor plate, and some motor plate spacers and it should be done!!! Can't wait to take it for a spin.

Re: New bolt-in mid motor conversion project
just from the looks of it though are you gonna have to remove the trans to change out gearing?
Looks great btw...

Re: New bolt-in mid motor conversion project
Thanks guys.
Yeah, probably, as far as having to remove the trans to change the spur, we discussed it earlier in the thread. It's a tradeoff of the no-cut mid motor conversion, but I think it's a worthwhile compromise for most people.

Re: New bolt-in mid motor conversion project
WINNING! This is really slick and I agree with the no cut / no drill maintenance trade-off.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Re: New bolt-in mid motor conversion project
Yeah, once thinking about it last night it made kinda sense to have to remove it...hence the "bolt in" part of the name. Kinda implies no fabrications
But agree wholeheartedly here

Re: New bolt-in mid motor conversion project
So I now have what I believe to be the final version of the trans case and bulkhead, as well as the motor plate spacers and motor plate (prototype version), and the tower.
I started machining a motor plate that I can actually run. Once I finalize that design I'll have them CNC'd. The square edges on the prototype are just for ease of machining.
Basically now, I just have to finish machining the prototype motor plate and then assemble the car. Then it's off to the track to see how it does. Barring any final changes after track testing, I'll make the parts available to anyone who wants to build one.

Re: New bolt-in mid motor conversion project
I finished making the prototype motor plate then started building a test mule. I decided to use a CE rather than the fluorescent yellow chassis I had been mocking everything up on. I'll probably save it to build one once everything is finalized. The CE is pretty nice, except for that big notch some genius put in the left side of the pan, and some typical scratched on the bottom... perfect for a runner/test mule!
Pretty much all that's left now is to wire up the ESC, bind the receiver, and then take if for a spin! I should be bringing it to the track a week from tonight.
Oh, one other thing, I want to design a brace for the rear motor guard, similar to the one I had on my original mid motor RC10 I built.
