Converting a nitro RC car bought 12 years ago to electric
Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2020 1:42 pm
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:
The motor mounting adapter can be bought from ebay or aliexpress. It's very cheap.
Adjustment slots:
This motor (Graupner 600, 550 size) can operate at 2S or 3S Lipo:
I put the ESC, receiver and battery. The battery is fastened with "velcro":
I also changed the body por una del coche "Citroen ZX rally" and adapted the mounting posts with aluminum profiles.
This is the new car:
