I want something different to convert. Probably a 4wd truck/buggy/whatever that could use a feigao l motor, as I have so many. Would most likely have to be 10th scale or very light weight if larger than that. All ideas are welcome, and pics/links would be great. Thanks guys!!!
I think that a rally car would be pretty interesting - they used to run them at our local indoor track - and they were awesome to watch - they would roll over and keep going - was a good time watching - a bl rally car would be neat... imo
Ok, decided to convert a Tower Hobbies Terror. Cheesy name, but the truck looks stout, simple and only weighs about 8-9lbs. Looking to run my 7xl on 4s 5000mah lipos with a MM. Gearing will be 12/45, with a 3.8 diff ratio. This truck has high gearing, but the light weight should offset that. I am hoping to keep it under 10lb RTR with batts. Still waiting on the aftershock, they were out of stock and had to get more in. Should see that on thurs and the Terror will be here next week.
Lincpimp, any updates on your Tower Terror? It's been a month and I was starting to look at this truck too.
Yeah, I am slowly getting around to it. Just received my 1/4" thick 6061 to make the motor mount with, and need to make some battery tray mounts too. Other than that it is ready to go!
