Bigjimknickers Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I was watching a few vorza clips yesterday & it got me wondering, what is the cheaper equivalent of a vorza? New I mean not a conversion, I know losi 8e's are popular but is there any others that can handle 5s 6s? Is the hyper SSE capable? I searched for hot bodies but came up with something unsuitable. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revo madnesss Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 do they have to be ready to run or can it be needing electronics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Any really, just wondering as I really liked a vorza I saw at a bash, not saying I'll buy one right now but I have all the 3s 4s 5s & 6s if I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feedtheinferno Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 A hotbodies D8 is the exact same, minus the electrical gear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_seyfarth Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hotbodies Ve8 is just with plastic chassis so not a basher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I thought the D8 was the vorza in nitro dress but the d8 has some very nice upgrades the d8 pro mayb but its nitro. I think revomaddness has a brand new d8 roller At fair price then mayb a vorza elec kit could be fitted???? I saw a vorza and on roll it sounded like a meat grinder lol the motors must be huge ide like a 6s one day but mayb losi tekno with elec clutch so it rolls smooth.

Samuran Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Carson-electric-brushless-Specter-4WDRtR/dp/B004NDUB18 6s out of the box and about half the price of the Vorza... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Isn't that 4s maximum ? it is, however if you bought it all you would need to do is take out the esc and change it for a new one, hobbywing 150a for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feedtheinferno Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I had a D8 and fitted all the Vorza electric mounting bits, its a factory fit so yeah it works perfectly and was very cheap to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that is nasty...and not a match for a vorza, at all.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuran Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 LOL I never said it was a match, I dont think you'll get a match for much less money... think of it just as a 6S hobby buggy heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm glad you weren't serious... As a hobby buggy, it would fail; as a money pit of dissatisfaction, it deserves a medal!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuran Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) I can imagine it now... getting it out of the box... panicking while plugging the batteries in. Then maybe 50 seconds of fun before the whole thing catches fire heh Back to the subject tho, there are a couple of heavily hopped up vorzas on Maxbashing at the moment, still expensive tho.

Bigjimknickers Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yea I'd be after a mint stock roller as ideally I'd like a waterproof ESC rather than the MMM that's stock in one, unless they ship with the MM2 now? Either way it'll be rare to find a mint roller I imagine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 How would a hyper SSE hold up to a vorza? In the durability/6s area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 So a trophy buggy will handle 6s if I find a tidy roller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peakey29 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I got hold of a lightning stadium pro and I've converted it and put a 180a team orion R8 pro so can do up to 6s I've dipped it in corrosion x so it's now waterproof. So it's a case of if you see a roller you like you can put whatever you want in it to meet your requirments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peakey29 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) There is a list on here somewhere on what I spent I'll try and find it.

Bigjimknickers Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yea I'm aware of the conversion costs spiralling as I've done my Savage 3.5 & a hyper 7, the Savage cost a fair whack but I did a few extra mods too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
