Howdy people...
This is my new project. I'm starting with a HPI Sprint 2 RTR with a 69 Camaro body.
Can't say I'm a fan of the body but it wont be on the car for long.
All stock RTR and pretty boring! Without even putting a battery pack through the car I pulled out all of the stock electronics except the servo... Also cut the antenna down so it will fit under the new shell (which is in the post).
Next I fitted the a nice new DX3C receiver and BLX80 brushless esc and motor...
And wouldn't you know it??!! Either the motor or esc is faulty. The damn motor just shakes when you give it some throttle. From my research that means a faulty/broken connection somewhere.
So the motor and esc are back out now and I'm replacing them with a Castle Creations Sidewinder.
Should have the new combo early next week.
More updates coming soon.
Cheers,
Jim
