Hello Fellow Bashers
I picked up an Arrma Voltage in October of 2020 after a long hiatus from the hobby. I was tired of pandemic gardening, especially since I have the most frustrating of thumbs in which my seeds will grow, giving me a false confidence. Then, begin the slow, drawn out process of browning and eventually becoming debris (which now ends up in the tubs of my bashers). After months of this cycle, I stumbled across some videos on youtube while trying to keep my daughter entertained and she started having a blast watching people jump trucks off of skate ramps, she especially enjoyed when they crash.
I decided to pick up something inexpensive that I could demolish for her amusement. I did some research, and like many many many people I end up looking at the Voltage. I picked one up and quickly remembered how addicting the hobby can be. I re-caught the bug. The last time I had a hobby-grade car was probably 99, or 2000. The cars has progressed so much, especially batteries. I decided to look for some hop-up parts, as one does. And thus begins the build of my way-too-expensive, overkill, voltage.
Stage one.
I just wanted to tinker. So I swapped to a 12t motor and upped the pinion and mashed in a couple fans.
Stage two.
The tinkering hit overdrive and now I want to see how far I can push a starter vehicle.
Motor Set Backs.
Stage three
Commitment to quality components
Bumper -
ESC & Motor -
Stage four
Issues resolved and maiden run on fully functional 2s Spektrum brushless system
Since build threads like photos, not just shameless youtube links. Here's a some photos of the truck along the way.
And finally, just because I think its cool
Thanks for taking the time to look.
I truly do appreciate it!
