Well some parts will be showing up this week. Main concern is the esc. I have a certain spot for it and I hope there's enough room for figment. Going to try and work on the fake motor tonight also.

If I were you,before assembling that dummy engine,I would go to hobby lobby and get one of those resin casting kits and make molds and reproduce them and sell them,there would be a big demand in the scaler/crawler market since nobody makes a 1/10 engine,the parma hemi has long been discontinued and sells for big bucks if you can find one

I'm sure I can get them online. Never thought about doing that.

Sorry I meant the casting materials. It's a bartos chassis motor. It's like. Parma but more parts and stronger. There is 2 parmas on eBay but for 60 and 90 bucks no way.

Got some stuff in the mail today. Set the radio for the 3 way rear steer. I have to move the fuel cell further back in the chassis to make room for the esc.

Got all my parts in.
The Hesse brace with the motor mount... Is it not suppose to clear the battery tray? Looks like I have to take it out and make a new floor for the truck.

Ok, this is the first time I have heard of this!! What version truck do you guys have??? This was designed and test fit on an original ground pounder. Maybe something changed?? On the original truck the tray was clear or just touching. There was no interference.

On the Gen 2 it does it Mike but it never effected the way the motor mount work. In fact on the last truck I ran your motor mount I like that it hit the battery tray it seem to help keep everything nice and lined up. No worries about the mount every moving. Which was nice since I was running 3s in my truck.
On the Gen 2 it did it but just a little. I liked that it hit the bottom of the battery tray. to me it seem to help keep everything nice and tight to room for movement.

Ok now I am confused. Mine has a lot of clearance!!
Maybe a tolerance issue with the sheet metal parts? Not sure what is happening. Anyone else have a problem with this part fitting. Please let me know. If I have to change the design I want/ need to know.

Sorry I just saw this.......
********I dropped the electronics tray on that Digger almost an inch, or somewhere around there(it's been awhile)*************
I did it to have the battery and motor sit lower. If you take it apart there are additional holes so you can raise back up a little or all the way.
**** not thats funny
