Ok guys/gals I'm new to this forum here and I have been playing with my fazon voltage since November 2018. It was $100 on eBay so it was a perfect price to get my girlfriend involved in RC.
After playing with the Voltage in comparison to my brushed Rusty, I saw that it was "OK" fun. My girlfriend enjoyed it very much but had become nearly an expert at driving it so I decided it was time for THE upgrade.
Due to the fact that she would be wrecking this vehicle often, I honestly tried to keep the overall cost as low as possible. First the ESC/Rx combo and motor was removed and replaced with the 4300kv/9T Orange eBay brushless combo($37.00). Stock pinion was reused.
Next a GoolRC Rc3 Rx/TX was installed ($27.00) followed by a Turn metal gear servo ($12.00)
The overall cost of the car at this time is still far below $200.00 and was amazing!!! Far more fun than the Rustler!!! But being that I happen to have some 5000 3S batteries laying around, I just had to give it a shot!!!
Let me tell you this thing is so much more fun than my SuperMaxx, Rusty, or my dual brushless 3906 Emaxx!!! Not just wheelie on demand, BUT BACKFLIPS ON DEMAND!!!
The tires became very worn and had to be replaced so I went with a larger and softer tire last week. The Duratrax 2.8 Hatchet. Now this thing is even more fun.
The transmitter has 3 throttle settings on it so I can put it on "low mode" for her to drive it but I can switch to Medium or High when we go to the parking lot for speed runs.
Zero issues or failures thus far with any part of the vehicle. Excluding the body which was expected and the body posts. The steering arm does pop off the ball at the tire occasionally after a moderate impact. But that's all. This has been the most fun rc build I have ever done so far.
Anyone know of a compatible wheelie bar for this thing that is a bolt on?
Are there any bodies that are out there that fit the voltage series? Other than stock.
