Hyper One 7 Evo Brushless- project report
Last Updated on Thursday, 16 September 2010 14:31 Written by Steve Gettings Thursday, 16 September 2010 12:00
It seems that Steve Gettings can't sit still and he is at it again. This time he has taken his HoBao Hyper One 7 Evo and modified it to run on EP with a brushless motor.
Well, it is best that I let you read the short story in his own words and also enjoy the numerous pictures he sent of the car. A good project to emulate if you are like him and me, stuck living near a track that ONCE UPON A TIME a nitro one but is now only EP-friendly! Click on Read more or the picture to continue ...
Its been done for a while now and I reckon the best way to show how I did the conversion is with a series of photographs below.
The front and rear suspensions together with the differentials and drive shafts are unchanged from the Nitro versions. The main part was designing and manufacturing a strong engine mount and the spur gear adaptor. The remaining parts were the fibre glass top braces, steering servo mount, and spacers to correct any height differences.
The motor is from Mtronics as is the speed controller. The Lipos are from Demon Products. There is also a voltage regulator to drop down the 14.8 volts from the 4 cells, to 6.5 volts to feed the receiver.
Performance wise its on par with my nitro versions, with the addition of more low down torque, so initial launch is sharper. It just needs a good driver to have a go, and see what it can do around a race track.
Regards,
Steve Gettings.
