NBY Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hi I bought this chassis with the intention of converting it to brushless...does anyone recognise this make and model? Would be helpful if I need parts etc.... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Looks like an OFNA truggy by the front bumper and wheels brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBY Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Thanks Bajadre- You through me in the right direction but i'm not sure it's OFNA... I now found two names for it : Himoto RXT-28 Team VTX-ST1 (VTX and Himoto are the same?) I even found the manual-attached if any interest... Now the challenge is to source parts, but it's in good shape and seems super strong to be honest. Have you seen any of these converted to brushless? I assume 4s-6s minimum as it's quite heavy. I guess I would find some examples on youtube... rxb.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I converted a Hyper ST truggy to brushless recently and used a Hobbywing Max 8 esc with a 2200 kv motor which is ample power for it and its 4 to 6s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBY Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Stormbringer- Did you simply remove the middle nitro gear and connected the motor or did you add a slip gear or central diff? Also what ratio gearing would be best? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 It already had a centre dif and i used the existing spur gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You have a centre diff by the looks of it, if you convert it it will look something like this You can get rid of the fuel tank, throttle/brake servo and cut down the servo brace that you no longer need, just leave enough for the steering servo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBY Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 Great Advise guys thanks. I will need to get the right motor holder I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
