So the reason I’m opting to use this brushless set up is because I haven’t got an esc that will work with the Tamiya sport tuned brushed motor AND lipo. I’m not overly enamoured with the idea of purchasing a NiMh as it’s old tech and still incredibly expensive! I would rather buy lipo but the only speed controller I have that will work with lipo is my brushless ezrun 60a pictured. I really want to use the lunchbox but I just cannot afford to buy an esc that will work with brushed AND lipo. I’ve found the program card (pictured) for the ezrun, does this have on it the ability to tone down the power? Is it the timing and punch? I’ve also bought a 0.8 mod 18t 5mm shaft pinion gear for the brushless. I could also turn down the trim on my controller right?

I’ve found my old brushless set up. It’s 4000kv so not sure how that stacks up. The problem I have now is the old pinion gear won’t go on the thicker (5mm?) shaft of the brushless motor. the original brass pinion is a 10t. Can anyone advise which pinion I need?

Thanks for the advice. If I was to try the 8.5t Cam you decrease the power output of the ezrun system via the program card?

Cheers storm, I’ve actually got an old EZ run 8.5t brushless set up I could put in the lunchbox, would this be ridiculously over the top power?

Would anyone know if this speed controller is capable of handling Lipo?

I think the esc is an mtronics 20. Budget really is only about £20. Can’t remember what charger I have but it’s a LiPo charger. Not sure if I want lipo or nimh, I remember lipo being a total faff to charge and store etc and I was always paranoid having them in the house tbh so if there’s a decent nimh out there that will give good performance and decent run times I’d be tempted.

Hi guys I’ve been out of the hobby for about 11 years now and in that time we’ve started a family, my girls are now 9 and 6 and I’ve been looking at my dusty old lunchbox (stock apart from sport tuned brushed tamiya can) and thinking about buying a suitable battery to hopefully get the girls interested in the hobby. im not looking to spend allot at all but hoping for a run time of 30+ minutes on playground tarmac. any links would be helpful, I’m not clued up anymore on what’s good and what isn’t so feel free to talk to me like I’ve never even known the hobby, I’m sure allot has changed in 11 years. cheers! dave

So what all the Mach 454 components are the exact same as the lrp .32 spec 2? Totally interchangeable? There must be so many ppl out there running lrp engines in their savages I’m sure there must be parts readily available for these big blocks

Hi, a few years back I purchased the now discontinued lrp .32 (32820) but circumstances at the time meant I didn’t even get round to starting it up for the first time. Now I see that this engine has been discontinued and I’m worried that I won’t be able to get spare parts for it should anything break down. I see there is now a spec 4 version of this engine- do the spare parts for this engine fit the spec 2 that I have? I also can’t find anywhere in the uk that actually carry’s these spares! I also learnt that LRP is now defunct and doesn’t exist anymore?? What’s going on will I have any service care at all for my lrp engine?

Make me an offer.

if it is a roller id say around

Savage XL matey gets my vote, look into that one.

I'm equally confused, perhaps paragraphs may help break down this mass of info. Perhaps not, I'd say do what u feel matey since u have all the components anyway if u don't like something simply swap it back.
