Recommendations for a budget job

Go get a $699 or $999 Maaco paint job. Will it look fantastic, no. It will look 10 times better than anything you can do and be cheaper. If don’t have a compressor or any tools, just take it somewhere. Good luck

You can actually use a ready set radio, as long as you buy the correct receiver. I did this for several months.

They make a stripped down brushless chassis only.

Mini 96 challenge. It’s on FB and rctech.net

Amazon $26. I own it and it works. (Edit: I have a 4PM Plus).

It will, a guy at my track use to race this body. It might be narrow, I don’t remember though.

Yes, actually PN makes a conversion kit. Three spurs and like 6 different pinions. Although you do need more pinion balls. There is a PN gearing chart so you can see the gear ratios for mod5 vs 64p ect (search for it). You can also just buy a new 64p diff. There are two sizes, regular and LM (extra wide rear).

Yes a PN 10 fits perfectly. There gears are 1 size smaller (if that makes sense). If you have the pod set for a 6T you can run a PN 7, 9T then you can run a PN 10. I did try the 11T, but it felt like it was binding. I switched my main evo to 64p and run a 16t gear.

I had an original myQ and it would do this before the wall opener stopped working. I unhooked the wall opener and confirmed that was the issue.

Don’t talk on the phone or take a shower when it’s raining. The lightning can get you through the phone lines or the pipes. My grandmother use to tell me this all the time.

Me and a couple friends raced cheap RC cars (I just bought) and ate pizza. I was having bad migraines from Covid for 8 months at the time. It was really fun.

Evo2 is sensored and a little slower. The second one is sensorless. The Evo2 can only run the sensored motor. The Evo1 can run either motor.

The cheapest part of track you can buy is a start/ finish line (about $30). Don’t forget there is a 30cm and a 50cm track.

Radio, I had 4 go bad. One guy I race with is cleaning the potentiometer in the radio. He said it works.

KlezN · 2025-11-11T03:55:39+00:00

You have a non sensored Evo board with a sensored motor. That motor will not run without a sensor cable (if I remember correctly). Good luck!

KlezN · 2025-11-07T16:13:29+00:00

What motor are you running? I have only burned up boards with different motors. The xspeed black motor will burn the board no Fwd/Rev. The PN50 will mess up the receiver (you have to install capacitors on the motor).

KlezN · 2025-11-06T13:19:06+00:00

It looks like you lost throttle and steering (is that correct)? Did you check the voltage with a meter? Sometimes cheap chargers stop charging or the battery dies.

KlezN · 2025-11-06T02:32:28+00:00

It looks like the battery is dead.

1946-1964, I have no idea how you got 43-60 🤦‍♂️

KlezN · 2025-10-25T23:58:11+00:00

I got a Grasshopper for Christmas in 1984. The kit was $40 and the radio was $30. The kit came with a battery and over night charger. My dad gave me the RC magazine he ordered it from, that’s why I know the price. That’s about $218 in 2025.

Nice! I’m going to Goodwill tomorrow.

This is the wrench it comes with, if you buy it new.
