I Bought the Granite Voltage back when Tower had them on sale for $60 and did a few mods.
I kept it brushless as I already had the Hobbywing ESC installed as a replacement for the stock combo ESC that got the blinking light of death and after a bit decided to throw in the 550 and pinion. Its built with a mixture of parts I had laying around and a couple I purchased.
Run down as follows:
Motor - Arrma 550 12 Turn
Pinion - 19 tooth
ESC - Hobbywing 1060
Servo - Annimos 25kg
Receiver - DumboRC X6FG
Body - Cheap Ebay Bug Body
LED Lights
Kraton drive cups
Speed run on this combo with a 2s lipo is 31 mph. Motor was just warm, stock motor would be hot to the touch after a few minutes.
I did a speed run on 3s a couple of days later just for kicks and best speed was 40 mph but it was really squirrelly, lol.
I think I am done with the changes. I am going to need a new set of rear tires though as the pavement runs have really worn them down which is not shown in the photos.
