Popular Post Davy Crockett Posted January 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Saw the news thread about the Sherpa last year and liked the look ......not sure about the clone 'Jeep' bodyshell (maybe rename it Cheep??) Due to current circumstances (work, life and Covid) my hobby like many I assume has been on the backburner, but I decided to pull the trigger on the Sherpa. I saw fair few videos which said the stock tyres weren't great so swapped to super swampers and a set of alloy beadlocks. Only other bits I have done are cosmetic.... Havent managed to get it on the trail yet but may have chance to give it a go in the garden if I get home in daylight More to come as time allows...

ElectronShifter Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi Gents, I got a Sherpa a month ago and have enjoyed a few short runs so far. Thoroughly enjoying the looks, open diffs and 2 gears. It’s really opened my eyes to learning wheel placement and thinking through a climb / rocks. One downside is definitely the stock tires. Even non-branded block tires I got for my High-Rock out perform them. On the hunt for new tires but enjoying the low grip challenge! Upgraded ESC and motor - running HW 1080 and Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster Sport. Silky smooth. The overall quality of the Sherpa compared to my FTX High-Rock is significant. Well worth the money and a worthy step up from my perspective. I am running it on 2s lipo (tried it on nimh for a few runs) and am very pleased with the punch and lighter weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, try 3S (is like other world), and set this 1080 PWM at maximum adjust, you look the difference in smooth run at low rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
