Stage 1 of the Build:

This is a pic of the truck before I started the conversion


Getting the truck prepared for the conversion-
(Sorry for the low quality pics, I'm using my phone since I broke my camera just before the build )

First I removed the engine and pipe



Then I did a forward only conversion to my tranny



And after that was a single speed conversion to my tranny too



Later I trimmed off the reciever box so I could put the battrey across the front of the car



And this is how it sits now waiting for the parts to be added

The Parts Came in!

Look what I got in the mail:



What was inside:




First I made a plate for my motor mount-



Then I put my battery tray on the stands I made-


Then I made a plate for my ESC-



Here it is waiting for the electronics-



While it was waiting I got a some stuff from the hobby shop-



After changing the shock oil and making some shock covers-



I Put some tape around the tires so they didn't ballon as much-



I soldered my connectors on-



After putting all the electronics on!





And theres my conversion completed!

(Theres more to come with a video of it in action!)

So heres how it looked then








Since then I have broken a hub carrier (my fault) and bought a new high torque servo for it, the truck has been really fun and has held up to the brushless power, I am now doing a rebuild that will give it new bearings, wheels, shocks, a custom (proper) wheely bar and for the ESC- new capacitors (I read that the Novak HV combo has a common capacitor problem so I hope this will fix it) and a new sensor harness.

I've gotten the wheels so far-





I will get more stuff soon so keep an eye out.

I havent gotten my towerhobbies order for it yet but I did a bit of work on my wheely bar-

I did the main thing but I need to get the right screws so heres just a mock up of how it will look, I will have probably have finished the rebuild next month because I'm concentrating more on the Tmaxx and after taking the truck apart I have found out that I have installed something wrong and I need to take apart the front end again.  :?

Hi OP, I was wondering if you could link or provide a brief description of the pinion gear you used? Such as the # of teeth and pitch? I am also in the process of doing an electric conversion for my MMGT.

Thanks!
