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.
