samshirley001 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Right, i still haven't cleaned the mud off my baja from the jam, where i mixed the fuel wrong, and almost killed the motor. I can't be bothered to clean the motor, si i decided to turn my baja electric. but using the castle conversion electronics, i hit Hobbyking hard, and decided to go massively overpowered. fifteen cell lipo seemed a reasonable amount so far i ordered the motor, speedo, batteries, mount [from model sport], 8mm bullets for the battery and motor and some cabling to make charge leads. pics Speedo - rest to arrive (stuck in customs, and mount on back order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) The only option you have really is to mount it up on the rear top plate like most, the size of battery's your planning there is no way it will fit down in the chassis. I made a custom carbon one to fit my mgm on, you could try something similar. Castle one might work sideways with an extra plate on it for support perhaps.The RC-M one is square-ish too and would possibly let you fit it sideways, the ends are quite exposed that way though. Im not sure if it would fit just like the XL-2's do, the rear shock support uprights might get in the way Edited November 21, 2012 by Highlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revorocks Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 That ESC is rediculous! I would mount it length ways like in the cab or something. Clean that Baja man! Get some Muc Off, soak it with a shower, spray Muc Off, scrub quickly with a brush, spray down with shower. Only takes 10 mins and gets most of the dirt off.

samshirley001 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) I'll give it a good tear-down on tue. Still waiting for the motor mount and electronics, but fired up the ESC on 6S, connected to a Sirius 1515 motor, seemed fine, but there didn't really seem to be any brakes. gonna have to go into the settings and see if i can add some. The esc doesn't send any voltage at all to the reciver, so i'm gonna have to keep the baja electronics intact. but instead of a throttle servo, i mounted the HPI battery monitor, so i can easily see the battery voltage.

samshirley001 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 a 15s BEC would cost quite a lot, and could give off interference, what could be fatal with this build, plus this setup is already installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
