Where is your center drive shaft? Let's see how that fits.

Hopefully the center drive shaft won't rub up against that motor housing and looking at the back of the motor looks like it's in the way of where the high speed bearing is supposed to be .

Don't need a center drive shaft to run 2wd.....

That is true.but @neighborhater383ci has not mentioned that's what he plans to do with this rig we shall see

 

[kaladeth]

XLX2 are you planning to seal up the motor case? You will probably need to gear up to move that motor slightly out of the way of the drive shaft.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I’m gonna let it run this 34/44 .8 setup for a few days while waiting for my new setup that I’ll let out once I know it works. It looks tight but with the aluminum center driveshaft I have it shouldn’t be an issue with rubbing the motor or the bearing expecially if I just put the shaft in backwards

I got finished super late last night and haven’t had time quite yet but here in the next hour or so we’ll know

Is the front side of your power module exposed? Looks like you did a lot of removal of that front cover to get that huge pinion gear in there.. and may I ask what diffs are you using to accommodate that massive power system..I mean xlx2 plus 1717 .wow .the only diffs you could throw in there for this 3s platform I believe would be 4s .my opinion is that your system is over kill .I'm not sure what your trying to accomplish but god bless that plastic tub and everything else on it .. video? Yeah I'd love to see this thing actually make it to running properly..good luck bud

It’s actually a 4s kraton just wearing a vendetta body and aero so it’s got the metal diffs and they handle the power amazingly. The plan was running a 2050kv spectrum or something on 8s which was the setup but I also like to beat the poop out of it and drift it around so I quickly killed multiple motors which has landed me here. The power modules backside (side closest to diff) is cut from basically the top mounting/clamp hole down, the front where it surrounds the metal mount is uncut

Omg that shaft is tight like prom night... whooooooo baby

I can see the motor cooling fins definitely making a mark on that shaft ..looks like some friction going on there....let it rip

You might want to consider flipping the center driveshaft to give your motor can a tad more breathing room...

 

[King blitz]

Do you plan on putting back the center shaft bearing? And is that a zip tei around the center shaft where that bearing should be .

Video ? Can't wait to see this fly to the moon with all that POWA

What will you do when Oregon DMV sends you a letter saying you need to bring back your plates..that you cut in half to make side skirts ?? Love the customization and modding going on in this build . truly a unique one ..

That is a bearing just looks funny I used the vendettas removable bearing support right in front of the one built into the chassis

This is the video showing how it all fits

Thanks for sharing sir. Not sure what mods you did on the mountplate… looks like you rotated it?

And good job putting the fans in, I still need to squeeze mine in there.

I can’t tell you exactly how but i utilized two motor plates one flipped
