Fingers crossed lol
I’m going to invest in metal axles for the Hanomag to go with the BFO Bigblock geared motor & metal transfer case I have

Modified dual motor mount printed & test fitted to ensure there’s some clearance on the drive shafts, I’ll bolt it together tomorrow & see if I can get some power to it

Don’t worry about toe in & out on the axles it’s the camera lol

GAZ arrived. It is now part of my M48 Truck.

I'll get some better pictures when the ESC arrives.

The C14 is my buddy's. The wheels are getting painted.

A bit more progress. Should have a running chassis soon.

Looking good.

Hehe Gary, I'm at exactly the same spot
Will a RX work ok if it's mounted on top of a servo?

So, the stock suspension is wholly inadequate to deal with the 180 motor. The axles keep twisting enough to pop the driveshafts apart. So, now I'm MacGyvering a new rear suspension.

I think it's a bit slow, but might work.

Hey Gary, are thouse the motors with the reduction gearboxes? That's probably why they are slow.

[Max-U52]

Chase, they're these



I figgered with brushed motors running directly to the driveshafts I'd have to have some kind of gearbox, eh? They're available in a bunch of different ratings for voltage and RPM, so I might be able to find a better ratio that will give more speed on a 2S.
