First off, I am always on a budget so there is nothing fancy onboard this buggy, all function for me.
This is a buggy that I picked up from a buddy for $40, it was basically just a bunch of parts in a box. I bought new shocks, wheels/tires and a few other random pieces and made it work.
Built the motor mount from 1/4" thick aluminum sheeting and dremeled it out. For battery mounting purposes I used the Associated battery cups because they were cheap and will fit any lenth battery.
This project started life as a NiMh brushless and I now got a 4s Zippy-R 4800 lipo so I have converted it over to lipo so it is now much cleaner. Anyway, its been a fun project and I will improve it more I am sure after get out and hit the track with it.
Anyways, here are the specs:
Spektrum Race Servo (Airtronics is stripped out)
Spektrum DX2 radio system
Castle Creations BEC
Mtroniks Genesis Truck ESC
Medusa Afterburner V2 36-60-2000 Motor
Zippy-R 4s 4800mah Lipo
