Thank you for the consideration.

I used the MRC-3100 which is in the link at the top of the post.  I have looked for the specs on the ESC and can’t seem to find them.  The Horizon website just says “Spec”.    The Fets on the boarder have two numbers on them 450264 and 919094 if that means anything to anyone.
The rules indicate “Mini-Z Kyosho ESC only. This includes the new 2.4ghz and the AD Band ESCs. FET modifications and capacitors are allowed.”  Which I understand you need to draw the line somewhere, but considering that FET and Capacitors modifications are allowed it seems that the ESC are already beaning modified.  That’s just my two cents.

As I had mentioned before we have been racing the Losi Micro SCTs as well as other Losi products.  I had a Micro Crawler lying an around with a glitch is the servo so I figured I would try what was suggested in the first post.  I did this as an experiment and set it up such that it would be an unplug and plug back into the Crawler if it didn’t work out.  Originally I had mounted the MRX-3100 in the plastic on top of the car.  To get the body on I had to take the plastic off and sticky tape it to the top of the chasse.  If this is approved I will pick up some more cars and do a write up on how to do full conversion.  I will also clean up the wiring and make it more permanent and look right.  So please forgive the mess.

Attached are a couple of pictures.  First picture is the MiniZ with everything installed and the Crawler that donated the brains.  Second is the a closer look at the  MiniZ.  The last two are pictures of the servo installation.  I also had a couple of servos lying around I have conduct airplane durability test on; OK it might have just been a crash, which had damaged gears.  I took them a part and stole the control board out of them.  I used the one that had a motor that was close to the same size motor in the MiniZ servo.  Soldered the three wires from the board on to the pot in the MiniZ and connected the motor.

Currently I have the stock motor in the car.  The store on this site seems to be out of the HFAY motors but I plan to get them when I find some one that has them for sale.  Since I can’t find the specs on the ESC I had also planned to get the FET v2 mod from AtomicMods to make sure I don’t burn up the ESC.  These are just plans and could be changed to be rule compliant.  Again thanks for the consideration.
