t2boats Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I've ordered plenty of bits n pieces from Germany over the years and it's always been el-rapido delivery times! Been quicker than ordering from certain places in the UK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fil_b Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Had some issues with the motor stock. Had to find another seller. See if this one gets sent side note. Car is stripped and engine is out. Have a 29 mac engine if that's any use. Top plate has been trimmed so I can fit the mount just waiting in bits now. Will trial fit the losi battery holder too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will trial fit the losi battery holder too Found that the Losi battery tray needs very little fettling to fit properly, screw holes line up well enough to securely mount it, and only required a small portion of the side guard cutting out to fit perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fil_b Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 thanks not had change to fit it yet but had a look at the tray and notice the screw holes was going to ask if any lined up what the velcro i need for the tay - mine didnt come with any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross9999992 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Any velcro straps will do really. You could even just buy a roll of hermaphrodite velcro and use that If you look at the pictures of my hyper those are the turnigy straps, they are plenty long for any battery I'll ever use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fil_b Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 hi all my ESC turned up to day - first time i used one of these. Motor is yet to come. The 3 motor cables look like they have ends on to conenct up. but the 2 cables for the Lipo just have wires - no connectior? do i need to orde a connector? how do they attach? tar Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 You'll need to solder a connector on to match whatever the battery comes with. Have you got the lipo already (I'm too lazy to read back) as it will be easier to match it to that rather than having to desolder the battery aswell if use a different type. I used bullets for the battery on mine, like your three motor wires only bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fil_b Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 not got Lipos yet was waiting to for the ESC to come before ordering any. ok will order some Lipos and see what they come with then go from there thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross9999992 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 If you're happy soldering then you may as well just go ahead and order some xt90's and heatshrink (although they are £8 for 10 pairs and £2 for some off china) at the same time Generally hobbyking list what connectors the batteries will come with. My recent 5s were just wires however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 XT90s are a cinch to solder, connecting them in a pair makes it easier to hold and dissipates the heat better whilst soldering too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoodoo Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Why not make your own mount? I'm in the process of making an active center diff where a spool should be....easy! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I remember mounting the rx box on the centre diff top plate, just drilled four holes in the bottom of a Firestorm waterproof rx box and used longer screws, kept everything neat and tidy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virdi Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi all, I am also attempting a Hyper 7 Conversion ...here are a few pics ...I used the kit from TCMODELS.NET 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering what adjustment you had on that motor mount, it doesn't look to have much movement for different sized pinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virdi Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi, The kit came with a 12T pinion ...but my motor is big and was touching the rear Chassis brace ...But I could move the brace to the to other side. So I just stuck on a 17T for now (testing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross9999992 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It is possible to move the brace to the other side of the dogbone, I did it when I ran the 2560kv with a 15t pinion. I don't use that nitro plate though so I guess that may be blocking the suitable (slightly bigger so I used a washer between the bolt head and chassis) hole for yours. @Virdi what motor is that? if it's 2200kv or below you'll want close to a 19t on there anyway. @Gavster29 I use that mount with a 19t and could possibly fit up to a 20t in there on the bigger side of things but with some minor dremmeling could fit bigger imo.

Ross9999992 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 @Virdi Ahh fair enough, you'll probably want 15t-19t then I guess. I deffo wouldn't go as low as 12t myself. Maybe you could drill through the motor plate thing to use the other hole if you do end up needing smaller than that 17t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavster29 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 @Ross9999992 my mount should allow up to a 30mm sized pinion which is quite big! Also I plan on using all 4 bolt holes in the Leopard 2000kv motor, my biggest pinion is 17t but I'll be running on 5s so I'm thinking I need 20t or maybe a 21t!@fil_b sorry to go slightly off topic, how is your build going, any new pics?
