Hello again rcc. It has been awhile, but I've got the itch to RC again. My starting point is this generic 1/10 (I think) crawler chassis, that is the last thing remaining from the great RC selloff. I got it in a trade at some point. It has one motor mount and front and rear steering. I don't know which way is the front, but have a few wants if you'd like to help me out.
I need all electronics. 2 channel radio Rx/tx, ESC, 2 high torque servos, battery or 2, charger, brushed motor. Also need spur and pinion. It looks like it has 48 pitch spur, but I'm thinking about dropping that down to 32 pitch. As for gearing, want to be able to do maybe 15-20kmph on flat smooth, but still have torque and low end control for going up curb sized obstacles at low speed. Longer battery life is desirable, as well as some way to mount a body, and some facsimile of a cage or shell to put on it. I'm probably forgetting something important, so if you can think of anything let me know. I don't really have a budget, as I have enough to start over and buy an rtr, but I'd still like to keep it as cheap as possible. Like ordering everything from hobbyking cheap. It's been sitting on the TV for around 5 years and I'd like to actually see it move. Thanks for reading.
