What can I do with it all?

[Gingerbread Man]

I have an old Tamiya Wild Dagger. Basicly it never really got going much as it kept running away from me where ever I raced it and thus I gave up with it. I now have a nitro truck so currently the wild dagger is surplus to requirements.

Thing is though, I don't want to just chuck it away. I still have all the radio gear and the car so wondered if I could raid it for parts and build something else from it?

Like a boat or something!?


The mechanics of it are;

Two 540 electric motors.

Mechanical Speed Control - I'd swap this for an electronic one as I think this has been the bane of my life.

130mm off road wheels.

2-Channel Radio w/Two Standard Servos (See COMMENTS

6 Cell Battery, charger etc...

Then I obviously have the car and shell etc... but don't want another 4x4.


Any ideas or should I kick the broken bane of my life truck, to the big green place of death bin and mourn?

Or give it to me?

You could fit ESC on it. it would make it much better

I know an electronic speed controller would improve it all but , I would buy one if I used it for something but I don't want the 4x4 car aspect of it any more. I was just wondering if I could the electrics on it to make something a bit more fun.

Depends how ambitious you are feeling really. You mention a boat, you could use the servos attached to a rudder, the motors to power it.

Just need a hull and a bit of imagination and your away!

Can you just by hulls will? Or would it be a total rebuild from scratch?

Would just be a shame to chuck it away, could keep it still but it's been kicking about doing sod all for ages now.

I honestly don't know, I would have thought so though. I know nothing about the RC boat market, but worth looking into you are after a little project.
