KB45-17XL in a 1/5 FireHammer M/T

[magman]

I love the size of the 7th scale more so than even the 1/8 stuff. I am just skeptical about getting one for a couple of reasons...

1. durability
2. part support
3. cost of converting one to elect. ( bigger batts, motor, etc..)


your conversion look really good and look forward to your vid.

The firehammer is a clone of an FG, and most parts are interchangeable, so parts are out there. I can't speak for the firehammer, but my FG took some of the hardest hits I've seen. During a runaway, it hit a curb as tall as the truck dead on @ 30+, bounced up and over it without losing much speed, hit the wall that was 3ft behind it, then landed and stalled out. Nothing broke or even bent from that, or the other countless rollovers, cartwheels etc.

Cost, thats another story. Thats why I stretched my revo. Being 10lbs lighter, the cost of electronics will be lighter too. Still would love to do one though.

Aqwut, thanks for sharing your conversion and making vids for us too
