Lipo in Cadillac Gold Pan and Driver Question
Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2015 9:57 am
I am getting back into the fun and resurrecting an old Gold Pan! It's nearly brand new and never run. I have been out of the game for so long that I have simple questions but I cannot find the answers on the forum.
1. Are you just using servo tape to mount the ESC, power switch, and receiver to the pan?
2. I would like to convert to Lipo and I see many people running the battery tray down the centerline on the pan. Do I have to drill and countersink new holes to attach the battery box in this position? Is it better to just keep th battery box spanning the width of the chassis?
3. I have the driver to put in the buggy, how does he attach to the body?
I have ordered Reedy Sonic 17.5 brushless, LRP Comp Flow ESC, DS1313 servo, and Futaba Radio. I only plan to put around the house and street, no bashing . Is this a decent setup for this? Not looking to win races. I just need to decide how to fit a battery! I was thinking about NiMH with this setup; what would my runtime be? Not looking to break speed records!
Thanks,
Kevin
