Mini Inferno mystery part answered - experimental servo mount for stick pack

This is an experimental conversion of an "alternative" servo mounting method for the Mini Inferno .  
(pictures below)

The idea is to:-
a) enable the car to use one stick pack, in this case motorcycle lipo for brushless motor operation, and keeping the CG low
b) increase the strength of the chassis between the front gear box and the main chassis
c) to allow easy access to the servo arm, possibly to introduce a servo mounted saver rather than using the original in car saver.

and at the same time allowing the same fitting of the original mini inferno body shell.


PS: experiementing on my son's car . . . . LOL.  

I think this would be a good upgrade part if any of the major after-market manufacturer would mass produce it.  So remember you seen it here first . . . ha ha LOL.

C-hing good idea , good design ...

thanks.  

It's simple a single piece flat material conversion, and with just a few screws.  So would be easy for making.  Took me around 1 hr to cut this.

Good idea, can you tell me how much is the battery monitor?

I just bought one in Kong Wah St - Harmony RC, for $40 I think (a different model with sound).

its for 3 cells but also works for 2 cells.

nice wor, where did u buy the center ball diff? i wanna get one too, but couldnt find one

centre ball is by 3-Racing, I got it from Harmony model in Kong Wah St.  If they dont have it in stock they can order it.

More notes, 3-Racing centre ball diff is alloy, and if use powerful brushless, it may wear and dent after a while.   

Atomic also makes a centre ball diff with both alloy and carbon-steel version.  The carbon steel one is much harder and last longer if you use powerful brushless.  But it quite expensive.

I just bought another battery sensor from Harmony today, correction $35.

when did u buy it ga? and how much ar? it is quite hard to find parts for mini inferno right now
and which one is the harmony RC?

Harmony model is the big shop at the end of a row of RC shops - in chinese Hung Shing.

Actually, I used to think the same that there not many Mini Inferno parts.  As it turns out, 3 Racing, and Atomic (via EGR racing online), you can find many parts available.  Many shops like Harmony for example can order it for you once you get the part number from the 3-Racing and Atomic websites.  

So far so good for me.

however 3racing itself has stoped producing parts for mini inferno
anyway, i think ur car need a bumper

yes does have a bumper thx....  just a bit naked when taking the pics.

really . .. .  but if go to 3-Racing website, many parts are still available for Mini Inferno.  Perhaps they may run down the stock, I guess buy what they have now . . .
