I have 3 of these brushed, lightweight two wheel drive critters. My wife drove hers into the lake recently and the esc/servo have died. While looking for a new brushed esc I realized converting it to brushless would be a good learning experience since, I plan on doing my granite 4x4 before long.
I’m going cheap lol and ordered this simple esc/motor combo. Decent motor, prob crap esc but easy to replace. Since I’ll be running the huge stock main gear I’ll go down in pinion from 16t to 14t.
Spent the afternoon disassembling the voltage and it’s not as nice to work on as say…any other Arrma. But I got it laid out like a splayed chicken ready to bbq, all cleaned up with bearings mostly replaced.
How do you keep track of all the bits and pieces? I use a trick from when I was working on mountain bikes/track bikes etc constantly…it’s okay to poke fun, it works well for me
