Momos 7 Posted January 14, 2015 I tried it again there it is slow but not to slow it just has no guts about it I mean the hover was out and it would hardly run over the hose on hover it just needs more guts not really more speed well both would good. If I had it outside it prob wouldn't go up hills or on grass etc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Momos 7 Posted January 14, 2015 I put a brand new hpi firebolt in it earlier and wasn't much better that's why I thought needed a bigger motor or maybe it will be better if I use the hpi motor and a 2s lipo but not sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Backlash 481 Posted January 14, 2015 Momos, Do you have a camera? Mate, we need you to take some photos and post them here so that I (we) can see how you have set everything up in the car.. It is VERY difficult to help you when we don't know what you have done.. We are all willing to help you, but to do that we need to get some help from YOU in the form of photos of what you have done..

Momos 7 Posted January 15, 2015 I have an iPhone 5 which am on here with can I still upload pics through that or do I need a pc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Backlash 481 Posted January 15, 2015 Momos, Sorry mate, but I don't have an iPhone, and don't ever care to, so I cant help you with what an iPhone can and cant do.. Look, I am willing to help you as much as I can, but I feel that I'm reaching the limit of what help that I can give you blind .. Photos, whilst still not as good as being able to physically touch or feel the vehicle for myself, will still at least allow me to see what you have got and have done.. Also, have a think about what level of performance that you would like to get from this project, and also how much money you would like to spend.... There is brushless motor technology available that would probably give you as good, if not better performance than what you had with the nitro motor.. BUT, it does come at a cost, and that cost could easily exceed the worth of the vehicle that you are trying to upgrade... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Backlash 481 Posted January 22, 2015 Momos, There is a way that you could do it, but it would involve soldering in a new switch, and given your reluctance to do this work, my simple answer to your question is NO.. (If you really want me to tell you I will) What you could do however, is mount both switches side by side, and link the 2 switches mechanically.. Maybe you could glue a piece of plastic channel or similar to both switch levers so that both turn on with a single action.. Just be careful not to get glue into the switch mechanisms..
