R46 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) It's a 1988 chassis At first thought it used a 7.2v battery however when got in realised uses 8 AA 😅 motor a 370 can. So plan was set remove 2in 1 AM board an bring upto date drop in a 20a esc an 2.4ghz rx, standard servo(stock was a 5 wire) Edited December 15, 2020 by R46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R46 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Board been removed to allow room for update leccys. Sorted a brushed esc had in box, lined up location for esc an power input, attached esc on-off lead to stock switch, attached motor wires. Standard servo needed some rework 1: reroute lead out Rear/bottom of case 2:shave off lip where lead originally exited from servo board 3:shave off mount lugs off case Edited December 15, 2020 by R46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Looks great. I notice the rear top arm has a crack (or part of the body wing? not sure based on the photo), are you aware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
