rcer55 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks for the links. Maverick Blackout conversion vs Losi 5 conversion vs RTR FG Monster-Truck Electric, 4WD HT-Edition http://rc-car-online.de/shop/en/products/fg_el_mt_4wd_ht-fg-monster-truck-electric-4wd-ht-edition.html Hmmm, food for thought.

Noj Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 You'll struggle to make it WP, unless opting for an MGM ESC with that selected as an option. A 4wd MT of that size and weight isn't suited to a 150a ESC IMO. Aside from MGM, there isn't a WP HV ESC available....and MGM's aren't cheap.

Maybe in a month or two the glitches will be fixed.

RCbutcher Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 You could convert the savage into a 5th scale using the alza chassis ect. The fg mt would be a great rc if spares became easier to find. Most use ebay getting used parts so many bidding against each other the prices can go higher than what they was new. I haven't had an fg for 2yrs tho mayb it's better now. Km EVO baja might be the quickest way to 5th scale brushless and cheapest. But it's not a truck. You could always make it into a short course tho. Bajas have good ground clearance and handle better to boot. It worth considering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Doesn't work on odd cell numbers tho, or is that just the Max6? Tbh, I should just get one and try it in something....only way to know if it will power a 5ive, for example.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
