finally RTR

a beauty made of blue aluminum and carbon

only small adjustments, tuning and fixing everything

Here is the final layout...

Do you mean this type of motor? (little bit small?) I've decided to only buy Hobbywing from now on. In my opinion, they're simply the best.

Sorry, but I've already invested way too much money in this project anyway—I'm not buying any more parts. Is anyone interested in motor mounts for the TA-05 VDF, including ball bearings? :) I couldn't simply move the servo to the other side because the linkage is on the left side and I can't simply turn it to the right. And because there was only enough space on the pinion side with the 540 motor, I had to turn the motor.

The carbon battery holders are also from the TA-05 VDF

I declare the conversion from 380 to 540 a failure. So that the chassis gets enough power, I decided on a Hobbywing Combo WP16BL30 with 2435SL G3. I still have to tinker, because I definitely want a suitable mount for Shortys in the chassis and for that the servo still has to be moved slightly

I sat in front of the chassis for a long time yesterday, doing nothing and thinking. I had actually already found a suitable position for the belts, but as I said, if you find a solution, the next problem immediately arises. Because it is a carbon plate chassis, you absolutely need the upper deck so that the lower deck does not bend uncontrollably. But I will not find a solution for the upper deck without causing massive damage to the engine mounts and the upper deck itself. That would mean I would no longer be able to easily revert to the original configuration.

You're the second person to point me to the 380 scene, but I've actually never heard of it before. Maybe the scene in Great Britain is different to that in Germany. The good thing is that I can build the original configuration at any time. ...I'll just keep tinkering away here in the meantime :)

to be honest, I'm a little disillusioned because (of course) every step forward brings new challenges. for example, the question is still whether and how exactly the two drive belts fit in terms of length. I also had to raise the two motor mounts 2 mm higher with spacers in order to get the motor into the mount. the steering fits now though. it's also foreseeable that I'll have to cut out the front differential cover so that the drive belt doesn't drag on top. only when everything fits there will I tackle the servo and the battery holder

In any case, I have to turn the motor (as you can see) so that there is space for the servo. Nevertheless, I have to move the steering a little forward so that the motor still has space on the other side. The advantage is that I then have more space at the front for the servo, which should also be moved a little forward because there still has to be space at the back for a Shorty battery

Sorry... i can't put the photos direct into the messages *fixed*
