Radio shack road phantom 4wd: hobby conversion

(1/6) > >>

Tyco Bandit King:
I converted this radio shack road phantom 4wd dual motor to a full hobby car and now it runs on 11.1v lipo. Stock it ran about 15mph on 7.2v but just off the conversion and 11.1v lipo it runs an easy 25mph+ and accelerates waaaay quicker. It's actually really fun to drive now that it has power and handles amazing for what it is. It used to struggle in grass and now it flies through tall grass.

Update: 550 12t motors are in and now it easily goes 40mph+++. Also went from 10 tooth pinions to 13 tooth and it definitely helps top speed

Electronics:

Vxl-3s esc
Fm radio
Traxxas 2070 servo
5400mah 11.1v lipo
Traxxas Titan 550 12t

Video: I was putting around for the first few mins and had a few full throttle passes towards the end. i can get pretty close to full throttle off the line but dont want to be too hard on the gears

Tyco Bandit King:
The 550s are mounted but the 10t pinions are too small so I've got 13t pinions to mount. Good news is it will pick up 25-30% more speed and will be less likely to strip out the gears

Tyco Bandit King:
The 550 phantom is done and it hauls sooooo much ass!!! On 8.4v its faster than 11.1v on stock motors but on 11.1v with the 550s its crazy fast. It rockets to top speed and I would say it very easily does 40mph+++.

Tyco Bandit King:
Just made a video at the baseball diamond
