Brushless installs

[notlawnomis]

Just going to install a Novak brushless system into my WE and want to see how others have gone about it. Now I know there are loads of pictures on the net of brushless installs in BJ4WE's but I can't seem to find any . Can someone please point me in the right direction??

That looks tidy, wasn't sure if I could get all the electrics on the servo side, leaving the motor on the other, but then again that might unbalance the car abit. Think I'll go with motor and speedo on the same side, looking at that.

This is the same as my install, but I have to cut part of the shell away (as below). Do other people find they have to cut their shell to accommodate their GTB speedo?

I have just had a new shell sprayed and do not really want to cut into the shell. Does anyone have an install for a GTB with fan that will fit under the shell without having to cut a big hole in it?

dont cut the whole shell sides off, and raise the shell slightly to accomodate it.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but what do you mean by, "don't cut the whole shell sides off"?

think he means don't cut the new shell down to the cut lines, leave them as long as you can as this will raise the shell hight

[PaulRotheram]

bingo! test fit the shell, see how much extra clearence you need then trim to what you need.
the bj4 we has loads of space.. dont let a shell spoil it

Oh... it's already been cut out.
