Default GST Brushless Build

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><span style="color: #003300">So I finally desided to convert my gst to electric and so far its frikin awesome and hauls balls. I couldn't afford $135 for 2 little pieces of aluminum so i had to figure out how to do it with what i had. So basically what i did is the obvious, Got rid of all thing nitro on it. Then i started thinking about what plastic i could cut off to lighten it up and make it a clean looking build so i started hacking away. I cut all the servo mounts off on top so I had a nice flat place to put the esc and then cut a bunch off the tranny housing and got rid of all the gears besides the center diff which is what it is running on but i think i will buy the matrix diff as soon as i have a few extra bucks but everything else is stock. Feel free to comment and ask any questions, i will reply as soon as i can. Here are some pics and a video of my first run but i'm only on 1 battery until i know the build will handle 6S. I'm 99% sure it can handle it but theres always the 1% it won't so as soon as i go 6S i'll take video and post it.

Hereare the parts i bought:

Mamba monster system 2200KV
19T pinion
HPI savage flux battery boxes
2- Sky lipos 3S 5000mah
