Smithy111 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Mitman did a fantastic conversion on his using alot of vorza parts and engineering it to all fit - http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/108688-mitmans-hpi-pulse-brushless-conversion/page__hl__%2Bhpi+%2Bpulse+%2Bbrushless__fromsearch__1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy111 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 no custom built conversion is. If you want a simpler setup i'd look for a good conversion kit first then pick a buggy based on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwsplitty Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) What about a d8 or mp9 conversion kit? I'm using a d8 kit to convert my lightning2 which is the same car as a trophy. And correct me if I'm wrong but ain't the vorza and d8 the same? Ps got my d8 kit from tcmodels.net but you can also get okhobbies Edited October 11, 2011 by vwsplitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The d8 is completetly different to trophy and lightning. Conversions for trophys/lignting has just become a lot easier now due to hpi releasing an electric version of the trophy.

Conversions for trophys/lignting has just become a lot easier now due to hpi releasing an electric version of the trophy. Sorry I don't think I made myself clear. Yes the trophy/ lighting is a different car to the d8 but the mount holes for the center diff are the same so you can use a d8 conversion kit for a trophy/lightning with a few minor mods. Was just suggesting something non standard to the model Being converted might fit.I just don't seem to be that good at explaining lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpk1 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 The vorza looks like its the same as a pulse but i would need to find some detailed pics to compare, the vorza parts may just fit mite be worth a look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpk1 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 I wonder how many parts are the same on the trophy as the pulse could well be same chassis plate ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy111 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I think the pulse is a fair bit different to the trophy/lightning as is the D8/Vorza they may look similar but i doubt much crosses over without the kind of mods Mitman had todo. The bits Mitman used on his pulse are from the vorza and as you can see from his thread it wasnt a simple bolt in job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
