I was just thinking about this truck from my childhood yesterday, and I couldn't remember the name of it. Now here it is. Thanks.

This was my first ever RC car that didn't have a wire attached or didn't only turn when reversing. I was probably 8-12 years old. I begged for months for this for Christmas. We had a Christmas tree farm growing up and i spent my entire season of tips for cutting trees on 2 complete sets of rechargeable Panasonic batteries and a charger. That thing outlasted the batteries. It finally stripped one of the plastic gears. This was before the internet and i had no idea how to get parts. I must have put hundreds of very slow miles on it over the years.

You should see this thing on a brushless conversion.

[@JunkTrucks]

I considered that but was concerned with how the gearing would react to it.

New to this but interested in trying this conversion I still have one of these trucks that doesn’t work. Where do I get these parts or what all do I need? Parts list?

The servo was just a generic 1/10th scale rc servo, the esc was a cheap brushed esc off of Amazon that I’m actually pretty impressed with, it was around $10 if I remember correctly. And the transmitter is a flysky I’m not exactly sure what model, but it was around $50. Everything I used was from Amazon.
