Im converting my Vesla-E to gas!

[Ferrebee88]

I built my Vekta.5 a year or so ago and recently built an electric Vesla. I opted for the gas kit and got the E-conversion so I would have both possibilities. I slapped a hobbywing combo in there and it just didn't do it for me. I need some noise! So here we go! I can't afford another motor right now, so I'm going to put the ESP34 from my Vekta in it. Maybe one day I'll put a 40gt in the Vekta...

Here is what I got so far. That aluminum motor plate and brake holder bracket are way lighter than the stock casting.

Yeah buddy , I am with you.

Don't get me wrong ; electric has come a long way and to me has it's place but there is nothing like gas.
Well except Nitro ; the smell of burnt nitro , there is nothing like it.

Worst case ( or best ) you can always switch back .

Making progress! Had to order a Taylor pipe to fit around that giant hump on the top of the big bore transmission.

Too late! I converted it back to electric Turns out I can't afford the big bore I wanted for my Vekta.5 so the ESP 34 went back in it.
