Ansmann Macnum mid conversion

[madmax]

hi people, i bought a macnum just as a bit of fun, and to try some mods,
after running the truck a couple of times i have found the truck to be able to wheely far to easily, and the only truck to beat me on that day was a X60 due to the fact it had a better drive out the corners.

so i went and bought another macnum as they are nice and cheap and hear is what ive done so far



first of all i have made a carbon t plate. as the std one is very weak



i then started to trim the chassis to take the gearbox the other way round.



i then started to trim the other side away and found that i have to remove alot of plastic, so that only 2 of the screws holding the t plate can be used.



as you can see hear. due to this little problem i am going to make a wrap around brace to go arround the motor and bot to the chassis. to put strenth back into it their.



so you get an idea i am thinking of making a brace over the motor and going down the the chassis eather side of the battery slot.

i have a few more bits to fabricate and looking at making a rear hinge pin hanger / shock tower mount to the back of the gearbox.
