My new RC toy...

[JohnRS]

How much and how difficult was the conversion?

Sorry I didn't convert it. The Vorza is a brushless RTR set up. I ditched the nitro and just bought a Vorza to replace it.

Dont blame you for going brushless.

I bought a HPI Firestorm a few years back. It spent more time broken than working. Everytime i fixed it, it broke again.

Im yet to have a go at brushless though...

Got the conversion parts for the Monster Truck.

 

New shell, body post mounts and tyre set.

 

Started like this:

 

 

 

now looks like this:

Shell needs painting but you get the idea.

Just found an old vid of me racing my M03 Swift.

Was great fun.

Have offloaded the little 1/18 Pitbulls and bought another LC Racing EMB. This time a Short Course truck:

 

Pretty much same setup as the buggy but a longer chassis.

 

Got a clear shell with it so will look to do something different with it.

So I've not used an RC car for a good few years now 

Last few i had were a hpi nitro 3 a traxxas 3 speed ridiculously quick  car and a hpi savage 

 

All these were nitro cars 

 

I would love to get something for bashing on the fields were I live (big large grassed area with bumps ) 

 

I don't think nitro would be a good choice mainly because it's loads of faffing and I am now an old fart with a daughter who will probably have a 2nd car 

 

I would like to have a dabble at electric and gather that brush less is the choice nowadays but that's as far as my knowledge on electric goes 

 

Don't want to look a douche in  the model shop and end up being sold something way overpriced or old crap 

 

Any tips or what to get 

Budget wise £2-300 ish don't mind having a build yourself kit like my hpi car was quite enjoyed building that in the evenings 

 

Off road 90% grass and gravelly tracks 

 

Any pointers recommendations greatly appreciated

I do loads of rc racing.

Id look at a second hand xray xb4 which is a well built strong quality kit.

Then you need brushless esc combo and a 2s lipo.

Approximate cost ££

 

Doesn't need to be race spec just a bit of speed for messing about
