Converting a nitro RC car bought 12 years ago to electric

Recommended Posts

I have converted a "Chinese" nitro buggy (1/10 scale) into an electrical powered rally car, without a kit conversion.

The first thing is to disassemble the nitro engine, brakes, exhaust pipe, throttle servo and nitro tank:

The motor mounting adapter can be bought from ebay or aliexpress. It's very cheap.

This motor (Graupner 600, 550 size) can operate at 2S or 3S Lipo:

I put the ESC, receiver and battery. The battery is fastened with "velcro":

I also changed the body por una del coche "Citroen ZX rally" and adapted the mounting posts with aluminum profiles.

Good stuff mate! Looks like you've made a really nice job of the conversion.  👍

 

And from watching the video it seems like she has a decent bit of power too for the size of it. Props to you mate
