Upcoming Rascal Conversion -
11.06.2008, 10:50 PM
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.

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....

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?

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

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.
