SSD Trail King Build Series - Part 6 - Electronics, Wide Shock Hoops, Motor Cover Extensions

Part 6 - 3D printed Motor Spacer, SSD Wide Front Shock Hoops and Electronics

Using the 3D printed spacers provided by SSD on Thingiverse

23mm and 15mm versions

Using the stock shock hoops will not allow you to add headers to the motor cover, and it just makes the motor cover a tight fit overall.

So... I added the SSD Wide Front Shock hoops (find on eBay)

For electronics, I'm using the following (links to item on eBay)

• Hobbywing 1080 ESC
• Castle Creations 10A BEC
• Gearhead RC RX Bypass Adapter
• Flysky GT5 Radio
• Flysky FS-BS6 Receiver

Here's how the 15mm spacer looks

Here's how the 23mm spacer looks

I decided on the 15mm spacer and the SSD Wide Shock hoops (find on eBay) give you plenty of room up there.

Can't use the oil-pan with the new motor cover position though, since it's extended out and no longer lines up.

It's for the better though, I didn't want the motor fully encased in there trapping heat anyway.
