Well shile I wait for the Picco .12 to come in from Tower I though it would be fun to see how creative I could get with a conversion. Originally it was going to stay like this thats how I got my hands on the motor plate and mod1 pinion. Dont know how long it will stay thi way though. i love the smell of nitro too much.

I have seen others make custom alluminum plates and battery holders out of carbon fiber. Well, this is how us Ghetto a$$ Mexicans do it. Velcro, velcro straps and zip ties :cool:

Looks really nice. I understand about the nitro thing. Thats why I havent even got a brushless system in my etc3. I put all my money into my nitros.

What exactly do you need to convert them to brushless. I want to convert mine, but i need to know what and where to buy these conversion parts.

you will need a motor mount, a mod 1 pinion, a bore reducer since mod 1 pinions usually come in 5mm. then you will have to make something to mount the battery.

you can get the motor mount, pinion and bore reducer here.
