LMAO thatās a great idea. Just have to add that photo. Lol Iām gonna do whatever it takes to make sure I get her a grom or Gorgon by Christmas. She drove one of my friends who has a Gorgon and she could drive that bad boy no problem. Itās so much fun enjoying the one hobby I have with her.
I sure hope so! Itās so much fun watching her smile and enjoy my one hobby sheās an amazing little girlGood memories are being made right there!
Future RC-er in the making.
I would be surprised if he's ever seen his Grom ever again after the first drive. Probably still out there in space spinning about.
Oh my God. That thing needs a name like the penguin. Makes me think of Danny DeVitoās role in Batman. Such an angry little fellow LMAO. I canāt even imagine how that little guy runs. Could you upload a video possibly? Me and my little girl would love watching. Iām surprised the ESC could even fit lol.I bought the Grom and like many other obviously had to make a change! I had this blx185 and a 540 motor laying around and thought hey! This might work with effort. Sure enough I had to make a lot of changes but I am running a 5800kv motor on 3s and wowza it's a monster. The motor shaft is a 3.17 and I had 48p gears for that in my pile and it seemed to mesh pretty good and I have been running it and so far so good. I had to modify the motor mount a lot, cut the whole center brace out, and cut open the rear cover to allow the pinion to stick up. It's currently running a 32 pinion! The esc is obviously huge for this but it didn't have a home so here it went. My wiring is a crap show so don't hate me on that.
Im still in the process of trying to make it handle under the power because it's a squirly as hell. I just put earplugs in the diffs so we will see what that does. My other big annoyance is the slop in the steering. Trying to figure out something to help that. Might be time for a good servo as well. Anyways here it is and yes the body still fits

It just folded into oblivion the moment I hit the throttle.
Penguin lolol that's really random and hilarious. I will try to take a video once I get it running correctly. Hopefully I can soon. The esc just barely fits and no way it'll fit with a fan but it also hasn't got anywhere near hot so that's not need. I actually mounted my receiver on the top of the esc lol
Yeah lol I donāt even know where that came from. Penguin Danny DeVito lol. Iād love to see some video of that bad boy. I canāt imagine that motor really getting hot anyway itās not like itās pushing any weight.
I did let it go lol I didn't feel like putting the time into it so it was involved in a trade
Yeah it was just not totally worth the effort and in the end I wish I spent the money on a gorgon because the gorgon is absolutely worth it and so much fun
