GTB in X-6 (bad pics)
If anyone is interested, here's how I did it.
Apologies for the picture quality but my camera did NOT want to focus on anything... First pic shows the edge of the chassis where I have had to file away a slight bit of the tub to get the corner of the GTB (where the sensor wire connects up) in. Second pic shows - quite badly - where I have cut down the side of the chassis to fit the bit of power wire side of the speedo in. I don't know if this is the *right* thing to do, but it was the only it would fit. It's a tight fit, but it's worth it... it's fast. Gratuitous shot of the car... |

I dont think your lens will focus that close mate, try moving the camera back a bit, taking the photo - then crop in so you are only using the middle bit of the photo.
Thats what I have to do on the closeups I do in the reviews since my camera wont focus if I have it too close to stuff. |

Good work Liam, there should be no harm in the bits of filling you have done
How does the Kenco flavoured toast taste? |

Oh, and on the closeups, I notice a wire passing closer to the camera than the subject you are aiming at. perhaps your camera is trying to focus on the wire.... try to look at the tip of your own nose (no mirror) and your eyes hurt - I bet this is what camera is doing.
Try putting it onto 'Macro Closeup', move any passing wires/aerials, and try again.... fails? probably, thats cos Jimmy is right |

sounds a little daft, but why didn't you just raise the ESC with some strips of plastic on the chassis or a couple of layers of double sided tape to raise it rather than cut the chassis..??

If you go into the 2wdrc.com forum, view Paul Sinclairs section and he has just fitted the Novak brushless too. All will fit in, including fan.
I'll be carrying this out soon too, so if anybody has any requests for specific photos while im doing it, I have no issue taking them and posting them up. |

Then the fan would not fit. The circuit board would also be very close to the cells... that would not suit my driving!
