This is what Hot Toys should have done with their Tumbler for the price they charged LOL. Very nice work. Are those mini or micro servos in the front end? I used to be such an RC fanatic, but I just kind of stopped somewhere along the way. I loved converting toy cars into RC vehicles, and I was especially good at making my own bodies from 2 and 3 liter soda bottles. Brings back lots of memories. Again, great work.

Peace, Jay

@HotChixCoolToyReview Hey, thanks for the compliment! Those are regular sized servos up front for the steering and micro servos in the back controlling the flaps. I like converting toys to RC as well; Check out my Tonka Summit videos. Also check out dudebro313's General Lee videos. They are great! Have a nice day!

Nice! I like how you converted the front steering!

@70humbler Thank you! It took some some experimentation but once I figured it out it was really quite simple so that is why I inserted the part numbers in the video. Follow the link in the description to my blog on RCGroups for a complete parts list. Have a great day!

thats pretty cool good job

now just need to put brushless in it and make it fly

@addadd13 I tried the Tamiya RS540 Sport Tuned motor but the MFC-02 would shut down if I accelerated too hard. The Tumbler did go about 25% faster it was way more difficult to control and I almost flipped it. Considering how hard it was to obtain the original Tyco body I decided to reinstall the stock motor. These experiments have convinced me I should stay away from brushless altogether lest I wrap the Tumbler around a tree or have to fetch it out of the neighborhood lake!

Excellent work.

@5:02 is epic. You showed those playschool toys who the boss was :)

Now you just need a Monster Mamba in that sucker.

Wow. Amazing.

Amazing work, the conversion is perfect. I agree its too much money and work to convert the HT.

Thanks for sharing! Sub'ed
