IS THAT ONE FASTER THEN OTHERS?

[uldruch]

Yes, much faster

I'm going to get myself a hornet and having seen what you've managed to do with yours, I want to do that! but don't know where to get the parts. can you tell me if i need to get the remote controle models and canibalise them or if I can just buy the parts individualy.

Excuse late reply, you can buy it all off the shelf, E bay is good for parts you need choro Q fast motor, full river 30mah lipo battery, micro switch. soldering iron, steady hand. good luck

No suspension modding but I have just finished the sand scorcher watch this space, thanks for the compliment

I have a Tamiya Q-Steer Frog. How do I make it as fast as this Rough Rider?

[uldruch]

use a 3.0 motor from a Bit Char-G or better still use a Choro-Q upgraded motor the Bit Char-G motor is slightly longer and you need to cut open the engine mount and file down the pinion gear whereas the choro-Q motor just fits straight in. Next you need a 30mah 3.2volt lithium battery similar to the ones used in the micro helicopters and a very small micro switch. remove the old 50mah 1.2volt Nimh cell replace with 3.2v lithium you need to cut and squeeze it in there, fit switch and motor.

sort of Tamiya, this is Tomy/Tamiya Q-steer converted to a rough rider using a micro rough rider body bought from Japan
