Atomic Carbon S4 - LIPO

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

.. 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

.. 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.

This is the car before i had chance to fit the spur gear and slipper hubs..

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!
