Sand Scorcher electronics advice.

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I am currently rebuilding an original Sand Scorcher, but I could use some advice about Electronics. I need a complete set up to finish my build.

 

ESC: I was thinking a Hobbywing  quicrun 1060 ESC?

Servo: Not sure

Receiver: Again,not sure. 

Battery: This 5cell 6V 3300 mAh NimH. https://www.vapextech.co.uk/6v-3300mah-airsoft-battery-vapextech-tamiya/

Motor: Again, not sure what my options are. Ideally I want a motor that will just slot in.

Transmitter: I will need one. I would prefer sticks to a wheel.

Charger: I have an old Pro-Trak charger, that I haven't used since I stopped racing 1/10 buggies in the early 2000's. Not sure if this will be still useable.

 

Would be great for any advice or comments.

 

Thanks guys

ESC: Hobbywing  quicrun 1060 ESC works fine

Servo: There is no super Tourque Servo needed so use any generic Servo that fits the Budget

Receiver: Just Buy a Transmitter/receiver Combo that fits your Budget

Battery: There are that Humpback Batterys. They will fit just fine https://www.wonderlandmodels.com/products/carson-72-volt-2700mah-ni-mh-hump-pack-battery/

Motor: 540 Sillvercan is enoug, if you want a hotter Motor, i alwas recomend a Sport Tuned Motor for theese "old" Tamiyas

Transmitter:Just Buy a Transmitter/receiver Combo, a FlySky FS-i6 has sticks and is recomended i another Topic

Charger: Try your old Charger :D

Thanks for the comment,

 

Is the humpback battery basically just away to squeeze in the extra cell into the mechanism box?

 

I think I have some servos and a receiver in my  old Schumacher Cats and Yokomo Mr4. Might seem like a really obvious question, but will this stuff still be compatible with modern ESC's and transmitters?

 

I take it this is the sport tuned motor https://www.modelsport.co.uk/tamiya-rs-540-sport-tuned-motor/rc-car-products/1474

Is it a direct replacement for the standard one?

 

Thanks for the help

Not sure a Sport tuned will fit in as the old SS gear casing only takes an original motor without mods . I've got a NiMh hump in my SS with HW106 and a Hitec servo and an original white end 540 .

Thanks Kev,

 

I do have the original Silvercan, but I am not sure on its condition. I will give it a try first, to see if it works.

Run the motor up , if it sounds 'squeely' the put a drop of engineers oil on the bearings front and back
