Thank you so much, that means a lot really appreciate the feedback I'll add a few links below that will get you started, keep me posted on your build 👍🏻 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174828808651?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dPXUYVFRTle&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=bDBA4C0hTOG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174836567796?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dPXUYVFRTle&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=bDBA4C0hTOG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@@rcworxshop ok also how do you know what pinion is required? Do u just count the teeth from the original one on the nitro engine? Im guessing u can't use the old one ? Mine has clutch built on to it?
@mattschannel1502 correct, the new pinion comes straight off the motor shaft to your original diff, it doesn't need to be exact the same size, just don't go for too many teeth as it will put stress on the motor, esc and battery, there's usually a chart with the esc to say what torque it will handle 👍🏻
Awesome video. I ve just found my eb4 thats not been used for 10 years plus and got it running eventually lol. Im new to the electric side and want to convert to brushless. I would be super greatful if you could put me on to a motormount. And even any esc and motor tips would be mint. I know this is a big ask but would love it if you could help me out.
Appreciate that matey thank you for watching, here's a like to a motor mount on ebay and a great value esc and motor combo www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144629270598?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1tzoan7vsre&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=bDBA4C0hTOG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY esc and motor www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295021988958?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=owmmlsiysms&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=bDBA4C0hTOG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Sorry for the late reply if the motor only has three wires coming off its called an un sensored motor, if that the case simply try the blue swapping any two of the wires from the motor to the speed control 👍🏻
Try this one matey, I used what fit on the day 👍🏻 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194227210244?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NMFbeOBZQ_W&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=bDBA4C0hTOG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Hi Mark, there's only a select few rc I would recommend spending the money on to convert, unfortunately the landmax isn't one of them unless it has sentimental value, the only reason I say this it conversions aren't cheap and would probably benefit you buying an electric modern day 1/10 buggy, car, truck? Any more questions please feel free to ask and thank you for watching 👍🏻
You need to put your motor in the mount with pinion gear on and line it up with the spur when it's perfect you need to draw round the motor mount on the chassis with a marker then you'll know where to drill the holes 👍🏻
Did my tmaxx to brushless ..4s lipo, hobao 150a esc, 3200kv......wheelies all day ..just change out ya center front n rear drive shafts to HD 77mm metal dog bones shafts and diff cups ....stock shafts twist like a pretzel....but be easy on it.....front n rear diffs ain't made for brushless motors....center diff 2nd gear has to be locked in too with screws so ya have brake n reverse...it's a process to change over the tmaxx....motor mount I made out of aluminum 1/4" flat bar
Don’t do this. Motor too small. KV too high. Will cook on 4S. Cheapest motor mount in the world. Get a hobao one instead. Bad conversion. Worst I’ve ever seen
what a great idea. indeed i will make a video to show the world how it should be done. and you can guarantee i wont be drilling holes in the chassis like an amateur!!@@rcworxshop
@@michaelinzitariyour just been silly and stupid 😂 its a hobby he got it working theres no right or wrongs if it makes him happy so what? Its working is it the best maybe not but is it still usable yes? Get a life lol
HERES THE SAVAGE BRUSHLESS CONVERSION - ua-cam.com/video/NnMwdrrAJsI/v-deo.html
what size pinion gear did you use?
Got the same car with the same problem.. Pull start lasted 2 days this time... Time for a swap out. Thanks for the video pal.
Your welcome, thanks for watching matey 👍🏻
Awesome conversion, Love how you went brushless too !!
Thanks matey, it worked better than I thought as the motor is a little small 👍🏻
i will use this as a tutorial for my convertion thank you very much👍👍
Fantastic!! Let us know how you get on 👍🏻
Wicked conversion, i notice you kept original centre diff and spur, what pitch pinion did you use?
Had my nitro car 6 months now and 3 pull start springs gone and now here I am looking at how to do a conversion
Trust me you'll never look back, not to mention you can sell your engine and fuel tank for a pretty penny 👍🏻
@@rcworxshop what nitro motor did u have? Are u selling it?
Some isopon fine mesh for those holes in the shell wouldn't be a bad shout. Keep the air in and the debris out. Full sends be a'comin!!!!!
Ohhhhh goos idea 💡 nice one 👍🏻 I'm sure he'll try and out send us lol
Amazing Conversion!!!
Nice video!! Great work!!! 😀
Thanks for watching matey, appreciate it 👍🏻
Very Nice
Nitro Boogay? 😉 Nice video man!

Do you need the batteries for there servos etc to remain or will the new main battery power everything?
Hello, yes these will work from the bec inside the speed control 👍🏻

@@rcworxshop thank you so much for the response. The mount page is no longer available but thing I have found a hsp mount that may do the trick.
The motor size is a 540 so as long as the mount is a 540 you'll be fine
great conversion! would you suggest going bigger than 3300kv motor?
Hobbywing 1650kv is better...smoke the tires easily
😊
Love I'm gonna do it to my dt10
Hey man. How did you reverse the motor?
you can relocate two of the three motor poles and it wil switch directions
Sorry for the late reply if the motor only has three wires coming off its called an un sensored motor, if that the case simply try the blue swapping any two of the wires from the motor to the speed control 👍🏻
😸✌🏻
Thanks for watching matey 👍🏻👍🏻
Ebay link is bad, any more info on that motor plate? How did you select pinon size?

@@rcworxshop thanks!!!
Hi folks. I have a Kyosho Landmax 1/8 from the 90s I want to convert. It is currently a Nitro where do I start. ? Been out the game a long time

Hi could you show me how to put the motor mount on and the holes
You need to put your motor in the mount with pinion gear on and line it up with the spur when it's perfect you need to draw round the motor mount on the chassis with a marker then you'll know where to drill the holes 👍🏻
Mine has 1650kv, max6 on 6s..24 pinion 40 spur.....😎
Tempted to do that with my traxxas tmaxx
I've converted a tmaxx before, it turned out well 👍🏻
Did my tmaxx to brushless ..4s lipo, hobao 150a esc, 3200kv......wheelies all day ..just change out ya center front n rear drive shafts to HD 77mm metal dog bones shafts and diff cups ....stock shafts twist like a pretzel....but be easy on it.....front n rear diffs ain't made for brushless motors....center diff 2nd gear has to be locked in too with screws so ya have brake n reverse...it's a process to change over the tmaxx....motor mount I made out of aluminum 1/4" flat bar
Do you still have that two speed transmission o it ?
No just the single speed 👍🏻
How did you get reverse I've put ESC motor in and runs forward but not reverse thanks
Your esc will need to be calibrated, should be a little button next to the on switch / button
My on switch is on a wire that comes from esc
Does it have a little push button by the switch? Or a little button the the esc?
I've been told I need to lock the gears cause they are just spinning
Oh so the motor does revers but the gears don't?
Add purchase link, please
I've not got any as it was bits I had spare, what was it you wanted to know and I'll find out for you 👍🏻
Nitro was better now its just average
Couldnt u just have gotten a starter box or electric starter
I've got one lol, I do prefer electric setup, I have other nitro models I use on the odd occasion 👍🏻 thanks for watching 👍🏻
That motor seems a bit small
Agreed but it works well and doesnt get to warm 👍🏻 only meant to be a cheap conversion 👍🏻
Sad
Why are you sad?
@@rcworxshop poor engine just got removed from its home haha jokes
🤣🤣 I still like and have a bit of nitro in the collection but they are soooo temperamental, thanks for watching matey 👍🏻👍🏻
@@rcworxshop haha no worries true they cna be fun while set up right haha
Did he really put a 540 can in a 1:8 scale and then power it with 4s ?
🤦♂️
Utter nonsense!
I have converted the same buggy to electric. I've used 130 amp ESc with 2250kv motor . Will be ran on 6s . Should be quick .
@jamieallen1588 nice one 👍🏻
Don’t do this. Motor too small. KV too high. Will cook on 4S. Cheapest motor mount in the world. Get a hobao one instead. Bad conversion. Worst I’ve ever seen
Don't talk silly, this is still going strong its been out at least 50 times, skatepark jumps speed runs etc
Also Where's your video if your the expert 👍🏻
