Upcoming Rascal Conversion
 

Hey guys. I have me a new baby coming to my doorstep soon. A Schumacher Rascal. I plan to ditch the .18 and run a brushless 540 setup in it to match the power of the .18 seeing the tranny should be pretty beefy. I dont know exactly what setup yet but it will hopefully be awsome. I am looking into the Hobbywing 30a 540 setup which should be plenty and a Zippy 4000mah 2s or 3s. Here are some pics of the rascal to start out with...

Looks good- I'd go with a medusa 36-60-2000 on 4s or a 36-50-2200. If you don't have the cash, go with like a 15l.

those are a TOUGH trucks! check out the chassis i think it 4mm thick, you could use a track power saddle pack for 2s 4900 mah would be easy to mount on the little chassis, and run a medusa 3300 kv, or a 9L.

It amazes me how low-pro the shocks are.

Im still waiting to hear from the guy that will be sending it out. Ill let you guys know.

Ok guys heres an update. I received the rascal today and it looks like a very worth brushless conversion truck/mini. 1/10 drivetrain with 1/10 axles. Also has no one way bearing so I can run in reverse. Here are some pics I took on my cell. Not the greatest but they get the point across....

Very COOL! :mdr: Can't wait to see this one go.

Nice. Looks like a mini on steroids.

Haha, the 4mm chassis definately is roids.:lol:

are you going to be able to put batts on the thing? looks like your running out of room

Looking good! I can't wait to see how this turns out...the Rascal is a crazy-tough machine (basically the little brother of the Havoc). How are you planning to lay-out the LiPos?

:oops: Looks like mounting batts will be quite a challenge after all.

Wow, everything came toghether very cleanly. Ill get pics up here soon. Still having a difficult time finding a place to mount a lipo pack. Im thinking saddle is my only option.

Ok guys here it is!

The conversion is still not 100% completed. I still need to bring the upper deck back down and mount it yet. I also need to find a place to mount the lipo.
