Converting a nitro RC car bought 12 years ago to electric

Post by korreka »

I have converted a "Chinese" nitro buggy (1/10 scale) into an electrical powered rally car, without a kit conversion.

The first thing is to disassemble the nitro engine, brakes, exhaust pipe, throttle servo and nitro tank:

This motor (Graupner 600, 550 size) can operate at 2S or 3S Lipo:

I also changed the body por una del coche "Citroen ZX rally" and adapted the mounting posts with aluminum profiles.
