@theknarlyboy 4 года назад

Heya Marc, i like your build! I too converted a tomahawk st to brushless a few years ago. I did it differently to this fabricating most parts out out aluminium, however i like how you've used the tools available to you to do the conversion as cleanly as possible! My only suggestion would be a bit of chassis bracing for the diffs, theyre only attached to the chassis with a thin land of plastic on those truggies and can snap with heavy bashing!

@theknarlyboy 4 года назад

Also, if you're worried about year mesh, just open the four motor mount holes up very slightly, should give you enough movement.

@edfannon1119 4 года назад

Hi Marc, great conversion. My son has just done the exact same conversion of his Thunder Tiger ST. the only problem we had was getting a pinion to fit. He had to make a collar to fit inside the gear taken off the nitro motor. Can you post a link of where you eventually got your pinion from please, cheers

@MarcRCAddict 4 года назад

ed fannon hi mate, thank you 👍 Yeah the pinion gears was not easy to find,we had to go for some 25dp, and use a 3.5mm to 5mm shaft converter, I’ll have a hunt through my eBay shopping history over the weekend and send you some info.. happy rcing 👍

@MarcRCAddict 4 года назад

hI ed, here is some info on the bits for you mate, i got one of these 5mm to 3.5mm motor shaft adaptors www.banggood.com/custlink/mKDK42fPag and these are the 25dp pinion gears i got from ebay. just type the number in mate, 123787889215 i hope this helps, but if you have any other questions just ask.. hapy rc-ing..

Thanks for the video, still usefull in mid 2021. I have a question though: are you able to adjust the gear mesh with that motor mount ? and is it then possible to change pinion ?

@MarcRCAddict 3 года назад

hello, your more then welcome im glad you like it.. with this motor mount you only had two fixed motor positions but being plastic i could of easily drilled holes in it to make more or made sliding hole positions to suit different sized pinions..

Wanting a balanced setup with maximum power, any tips or advice anyone could give me I’d appreciate it a lot! New to electric so I’m clueless 😂 Cheers

@bobferguson5900 4 года назад

Hi Mark. Enjoyed watching your conversion to electric. I have the model-space hummer which I would like to convert also. Can you please advise me on what electric motor etc I should use. And also if there are complete conversion kits to carry this out. I’m sick to death with the fickle nitro engine being very difficult to start.. Many thanks.

@MarcRCAddict 4 года назад

Bob Ferguson hi mate, thank you very much for that, it’s comments like yours that make doing these videos worthwhile.. I don’t know much about the modelspace Hummer but I do know as it’s a pretty big and heavy 1/8 scale I would personally go for a cheap and cheerful 1/8 goolrc brushless system, and don’t go too high of a KV rating something around 3300kv would be a good mix, here’s and eBay item number to one it’s a electric speed controller and motor combo: eBay item number:184123051606 You would also need to get or make a motor mount too though, loads are on eBay just type in electric motor mount and pick one you think would suit your chassis the best, also your have to find out your main gear pitch and get a matching pinion gear set for the electric motor.. I must admit I definitely know what you mean, some days I really miss my nitro models like my traxxas t-maxx but then i remember the hassle that can come with them lol.. Happy rcing bud, look forward to seeing your conversion. 👍
