Schumacher Big 6 conversion from nitro to brushless

[jhc]

Hello, new to the group. Greetings from Oklahoma. I was an rc airplane guy many years ago. Now trying rc cars and such.

My question is has anyone converted a Schumacher big 6 from nitro to brushless, and what did you do with it? Can I use the 3 speed tranny?

Welcome to the site. Is this the car in reference? My biggest thing would be parts if it's discontinued.

Never even seen a Schumacher in the flesh, so can't help there.

I did convert a nitro T-Maxx to electric, and on that one, I changed the transmission to forward only and single speed. Traxxas sells those conversion parts, so that made it easy.

That's the beauty of this hobby, dive in and take pics.

If it's discontinued, which it probably is, I wouldn't mess with so much parts to get it electric.
