B9PT80 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Hi, I decided on a total whim to buy myself an RC buggy as a project, second hand XTM X-Terminator 2, engine is shot (according to the listing) pipe and pull starter are missing but other wise the buggy is in good shape. Seems ideal for an electric conversion, I bought it cheap enough to spend a little money on it, this is a 'toy' rather than anything more serious. I used to be into Tamiya RC cars 30+ years ago as a kid, things have moved on slightly... What was wrong with 540 motors and 1 type of battery?! lol Has anyone done an electric conversion on this model? Where do you even start with motor/esc/battery combinations? Its a toy for bashing and having a little fun with, I really don't want to break the bank, nor do I need an RC buggy than can break the sound barrier, any advice on setups? I only have the buggy as a complete chassis, so I need radio, motor, esc and batteries and anything else? Probably more inclined towards doing an electric swap than rebuilding the engine and replacing parts. Many thanks in advance. B9PT80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
