Zannu Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Sounds good. Nice idea doing a rebuild over the holidays. Just to check everything and make sure it is good before giving it a good beating again. I imagine they were pretty mad running on 8S. Mine was already great on 3! I think the jump up to 4 should do it a lot of good, but I feel like 8s is a bit over the top. Mind you, I do have a HPI Bullet that it mental with 1/8 electronics so what can I say about overpowering models. So the nitro roller will be converted to a leccy as well as this one. Don't you like nitro as much? Or why didn't you sell the nitro roller and keep your 8S as it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zannu Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Fair enough, I have pretty much done the same. Been trying to sell my Bullet's nitro stuff and not had much luck, but I don't use it. Brushless is just so much quicker to get going and I prefer the way you never have to tune it in the middle of a run. Sounds like it should be an easy conversion then! I will take a look at the thread a bit later then. Those battery boxes are a lot cheaper than a lot I have spotted. Look very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got good money I understand why you sold it. It can be hard to find a good deal when selling, and if you had another roller anyway and like the work (which we all do) then sounds like you got a good deal. And I get not wanting to beat it up, let someone else do that for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
