norcoforever Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 well a few parts and changes have been made and ordered, i have the narrower t bone bumper on the way just to give more tyre clearance i have also ordered my motor which is the x812l tenshock 1700kv. this will be powered by a hobbywing xerun 150a esc running hopefully 17/46 gearing giving a top speed around 65mph on 6S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcoforever Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 well a complete change is on the cards, the rc monster conversion would not give me the gearing i wanted and tbh i was a little disappointed with the plastics as such a tekno conversion has been ordered along with a castle 2200kv combo, i know this is high kv for 6S but it will be geared to 60mph same as the savage flux and e revo so should be absolutely fine tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vorza is d8 based so very similar but there are some differences between them obviously chassis length arm length etc but the core parts are identical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
