need brushless conversion help
 

hi all. i have the losi desert truck and i bought the brushless combo (motor and ESC) from losi. is there an alternative to the spektrum receiver (which requires a spektrum tx) that i can use and keep the stock tx?

thanks in advance for any help

well this is supposed to work but i have not tried it myself.

I do not understand, why would Losi make a brushless conversion (ESC and motor) and not make it compatible with the stock servo and receiver?

Has anyone ever modified the stock stuff to work with the brushless system? I mean we are talking around 50 bucks if you were to still be able to use the stock electronics vs. 100bucks or so......a micro AM receiver and a micro servo. That sucks!!

Anyone have any suggestions?

you should just buy i micro recever?

Look I found something MUCH better (well maybe not quite better) BUT it is cheaper AND smaller:

As if in answer to my prayers look what "magically" appeared on Team Losi's website:

Servo and reciever only 30 bucks!!!

Hello. I have been able to find a lot of good stuff here. This is a nice platform to have discussion regarding whatever you want. Keep up the good work.

I like this configuration. It is like a diesel locomotive with the sadded feaure of the batteries. The ici engine runs at optimun=m rpm for maximun efficiencey.. Is the engine a deisel or gas job?

Whwn will a car like this be on the market?
