Can't figure out how to get more than one pic in a post, pardon ignorance, here's a shot with the body on. Hope you like.

zz-mt--

You've piqued my interest. Will you tell us more about it? Motor specs? Chassis rework? Gearing?
How it drives with that orange motor attached to the right rear tire?

How does it compare with the stock motor installed?

Well Chilli, it don't run for squat with that orange motor on that tire! ROFLMAO! With out that motor on the tire it is barely controllable for the first minute or so, it'll just flip right over if you do more than tap the stick in short bursts. It pulls great wheelies, I can barely keep the tires down! The motor and 1/3 AAA, 150 Mah batts came from a R/C Flying Saucer. I don't know any details on the motor, but it fills the gutted rear end standing sideways. I took out the metal contacts, the screw post on the left rear, and left wall of chassis, also filed the bottom and sides of the compartment smooth. Gears are the orange gears and the pinion that the motor had on it. Also added external charging leads. I'll try to get some pics of the innards up later this P.M.

Nice work! Where did you obtain the motor? And is that monster Quad-celled or did you just reposition the cells because they are too big to fit in the chassis? That thing looks insanely fast!

Here are some more pics, if some one can tell me how to post multiple pics in one post I'd appreciate it. Yes ZZ it's quad-cell, was 5-(quint?) celled, but it made the steering motor twitchy (anybody know a fix for that?) This is a guts-out shot, the extra wires coming off the batteries are for charging. You can see how the motor area is cleaned out.
The new motor is roughly 3/4"long, 1/2"wide, and 7/16"tall. Stock motors are about 9/16" long, 7/16" wide, and1/4" tall. A stock motor will almost fit inside the big'un!

This shows the motor in and the pcb screwed down.

The plastic cover in place, negative wire runs under the cover, positive wire comes out from under pcb and up through a groove filed in the cover. It only screws on one side because the other hole is gone.

I filed the ridges off of the motor clamp and it matched the curvature of the big motor nicely. I also made the notch in the cover bigger so the clamp would fit the taller motor and let the negative batt wire come through.

The charger also came out of the flying saucer toy.
Update 4/4/05; I put the 5th cell back on, put weight in front wheels, and it screams! I can't believe the electronics haven't fried.
