Wasn't sure where to put this thread, hopefully this is ok.
I was shopping for niece and nephew with my wife and were at the discovery store. I couldn't resist and picked it up. I'm going to power it with an epoch circuit board, epoch battery (comes with a 2c only) and use a bluebird bms-303 coreless 4g servo. Hopefully it will all fit under the body. I will also have to figure out how to hook it up to the steering mechanism since the current uses rack and pinion. I've been working on this for about a week and so far have cleaned out most of the area on the chassis/removed the old stuff. All thats left is the stock motor pod and the steering slider. ![]() ![]() ![]() test fit ![]() |

part 2
This shows some of the mods nec. to get the servo to work with the epoch CB. Basically I had to open it up, and wire directly to the motor (2 leads) and to the pot (3 leads). Tremendous pain since the pot was a surface mount on the servo circuit board. You can see the bluebird servo on the right (purple) with the tiny little pot. ![]() After much work, I ended up demounting the pot, wiring it and then rebuilding with all 5 leads coming out. I also had to put in a spacer to hold the pot in place so that it wouldn't come loose and decouple from the servo gears. Now that the servo and electronics work, its time to put it all together and figure out how to connect up the steering. |

while it looks very interesting and cool to tinker with, i am saving my money for the 1/36 micro-t.
this buggy certainly gives plenty to do for those of us who love to tinker ![]()
