Long story here so bare with me. I introduced my little boy to RCs when he was 4 years old. I let him run my nitro Revo one day with the throttle set to 30% on the radio and taught him the basics of driving an RC car. I was surprised at how fast the little bugger learned to turn, brake and in general have a good control of an RC. So I bought him a Losi Mini T. He likes it a lot but it's a little small. He really likes race cars so I am presently rebuilding an old Tamiya TL-01 on road car. He should like this one also but I really want him to be able to play with daddy with big toys, namely Revos. The mini T is too small and the TL-01 is on road so I need to build him an ERevo.
Here's my plan, I have several spare parts for both my nitro Revo (which is not being used lately) and my ERBE. Including complete diffs, tranny, MMM combo, etc. So here's the plan, get a Kershaw Design chassis for my ERBE and whatever is salvaged from my ERBE doing the chassis swap, with stuff from the nitro Revo and the spare parts, make a secong ERBE which would be my son's. I have a couple of
Turnigy 4500mAh 2S2P 30C LiFePo4 Packs coming in so it would be a little slower than mine but that would be good. I might still have to adjust the throttle on the radio to make it even slower. A ten pound truck coming at 35 mph might break a five year old boy's bones you know.
What do you think? Good plan? Anyone wnat to buy some nitro stuff? Engines, pipes, glow plugs
Of course, if I get a Kershaw Design chassis, I would document the swap and post pics in this thread as I always do. And then hope to have some run time to test before the snow comes.
