Lone-wolf Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Its looking like my MF-01x Jimny will be getting a make over, long wheelbase new proper rally body new wheels, but can i safely go brushless with 540 size 3300kv motor on 2S lipo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 It should handle it fine, but Id definitely want a bearing kit with it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for the rally body shell to come in stock then i can get cracking and do it box art 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 The 13t blue 540 can finned motors were commonly used in the states for M chassis. They were very popular over here for a while, they won't ever set any speed records however for under £20 delivered you can't go wrong - https://a.aliexpress.com/_mritdw4 If you don't want that then the red 3650 surpass motors are incredible value for money. A lot of the budget speed runners use them and yeld very good results. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtGucnK For 1/10 bashing you can't go far wrong with these motors.

Lone-wolf Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 I decided against the brushless route but i have ordered the body and a separate decal sheet so hopefully my Jimny will end up looking like this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 project sort of on hold, ordered the fiat clear body as it was due in stock in 2 days, but already been put back to some time in December, may end up an xmas project 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ has now started offering cheaper shipping (less than £15) and they arrive within 1-2 weeks. Edited Wednesday at 11:21 by Alex97 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice idea but i have always found the MF-01x to be a nice chassis as it is, im dreading doing the new body but it will be worth it once done, i did remove the 1040esc this morning that in all honesty has done stirling service, its now got a 1060 in it as im sticking with brushed....i do need to decide if i keep the M06 hopped up chassis or move it on though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
