Might be in touch cheers, do you need measurements to make one or would you know whats needed? I want the slots to be in the mount where the motor bolts in but I am not sure if there is enough material to do this.

I have thought about that, but I am worried about getting them straight. Just think would be easier to have a mount that I can adjust the motor position on I like the monster mount

Hi All I wonder if anyone can help out with this I recently converted a Tamiya TNX to brushless, found a simple L shaped bracket on ebay which does the job but does not have any adjustments. What I am after is something that allows me to move the motor so I can change the pinions, but I don't seem to be able to find anything suitable. Below are pics of the conversion any ideas tips or recommendations appreciated.

My Brushless TNX TGM-03

I know its frustrating suppose you need the interest first, there is a BMX track at the back of ASDA I need to visit for a bash, what cars have you got?

Hi All, Thanks for the welcome, when I get the time I mainly bash in local parks. I have put some pics up of my TNX in the Monster forum bit

Mainly my local park when I get the time

So I love big monster trucks I dislike Nitro I also am a massive Tamiya fanboy so what better to do than convert a TNX to a big brushless thing i'm not expert a lot of this will be trial and error I have sourced a TNX chassis for less than £40 posted so the first bit of the puzzle is done but I have a bit of a shopping/ todo list It will take me a while as on a budget, first on the agenda is to strip and clean its rusty and stinks of fags! The main aim is to just have a big basher! Shopping list 4068 Brushless motor 2050KV and mod 1 pinions New shocks again will be budget Motor bracket on order spur gear Body Maybe new wheels Going to get it running first make sure it works and does what its supposed to then go from there, exciting times EDIT: after having a good look it also needs counter shaft bits and a new wishbone at the front, going to upgrade both front wishbones to TGM-04 spec, hoping that they still work with the universal joint drive shaft jobbies, decided not to do this at this point future upgrade. I have TGM-03 wishbone replacements EDIT 2: Also gotta work out how to lock the gears in 2nd The wonders of the internet prove invaluable for things like this and goes to show that when you have a similar interest to other people they always want to help The guy who made this video below link happily emailed me the details of how to lock out the gears within minutes of contacting him and explained it with pics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCkASFsYiSo So basically there is a grub screw you just screw in and that's it see attached pictures Strip down and clean up time Stripped this far still need to do the suspension assembly and gearboxes. Not cleaned yet. Had a slight issue with one of the wheels, someone glued on the nut and its screwed.Got off in the end with a dremmel and new axle Locked out the second gear as described above Basically was able to lock out gearbox by inserting a screw a sawing it off bodge 101 but it works And all back together with new spur, clutch thingy and loads of grease. Also removed the brake assembly and few other bits that are no longer needed, essentially its a direct drive now with a few cogs in between! Below is an exploded view with my excellent art skills showing whats been taken out and where the screw has been put in Motor mounted! Trouble is gearbox is very noisy which was remedied with a metal spur from the later model sourced some traxxas tmax shocks, just need to work out how to mount batteries? With any luck will get it tested soon! Made a series connection for the battery so can test on 4s Here is the finished chassis used an FTX outlaw battery box to mount the battery here it is with a 4s hard case battery mounted

Hi All Just looking for more RC content to read up on, really despite the username love all makes and models but most of mine are Tamiya! Current collection Tamiya Lunchbox (pretty standard) Tamiya dt-03 (brushless) Tamiya TNX TGM-03 brushless conversion 4s lipo (this ones my big love at the moment) Been through a lot more than that but that's what I currently own
