swingy_p Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Evening people, Am after some advice on converting a Colt Mini-C truggy from Nitro (never have been able to get this little bugger to run!!) to a brushless set-up, Have seen someone selling a motor, motor mount and esc on eBay from a losi 8ight that's seams a good price but just need some advice on what's out there thats gonna be suitable so we can get some use out this little truck Cheers Paul [emoji106] Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 You sure on the scale? Web suggests 1/16. Likely as not, a combo and conversion kit from an 8ight is far too large for purpose. You want some 1/16th scale electronics and motor mount which will require modding to fit...or make your own from some angle ally.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Sorry yes it's a 1/16 truggy I realised that after I posted it but tapacrap wouldn't let me edit the post title. So would the motor set up from the mini 8ight still be too large for what I'm looking for? Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Right, mini 8ight not big 8ight.... Possibly still too large, not sure on can diameter and length, however, the diameter 'may' cause fitting issues.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingy_p Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 OK will have to get the dimensions of the motor from the seller and see its doable as take it its gonna be the length as well as the diameter that's gonna be the issue? Gonna dig it out the cupboard in the morning and have a better look at it Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
