After seeing what Matt Dodd had done recently i thought id have a go with the spare car. So far i have the full centre drive set of the B44 including slipper on order which should be here tomorrow all being well.

I have drilled a few bits and bobs and eyeing up what sort of room i have to play with and looking were i can mount electrics and stuff. By the looks it seems like a saddle pack of NIMH cells will fit too even with the standard rear shaft too..

Ill get some more pictures up tomorrow once i get a little further :)

Getting a little further with it now, I have noticed i didnt have everything i actually needed which isnt good! LOL

Im going to have to get some more bearings and some slipper plates too along side that a b44 motor mount :thumbsup:.. You can see theres loads of room too for electics which is pleasing.

Roll on drilling!

There is loads of room for electrics if you are using a tekin size speedo, if you are using a lrp / nosram / novak, i had to mount it off the slipper housing high up.

Forgot to mention i was using brushed in it :blush:.. But looking closer there doesnt appear to be a great deal of room actually thinking on that basis of using the LRP / Nosram / Novak Brushless systems in it.

I dont think there would even be an option of mounting the servo flat and using the space there to mount the speedo if i were to used Brushless in it without a heatsink as the weight would be off balance?

If your using a QC2 you can just about get away with the speedo on top of a layed down low profile servo, but the speedo has to hang off the servo and over the propshaft.

Im using a full size servo at the moment, there looks to be room on the other side of the car were the receiver is mounted - Just.

I run it at york the other week with NiMh cells in like that and it was ok, had loads of steering off power and jumped awsomely!
