Alright friends welcome to my "build" thread for my much-too-expensive-to-upgrade Granite BOOST 4x2. Received as a Christmas gift from my wife before I let her know I wanted the BLX model instead lol. So now I get the challenge of slowly making this this brushless and 3s.
I'm starting with a DumboRC Tx/Rx because I'll certainly need it eventually, I'm on a budget, and I've already had a few instances where the stock SLT2 transmitter lost range. The DumboRC should arrive Sunday, and I've already done my research on how to turn my 2 in 1 ESC into a standalone ESC. None of my LHS had the male-to-male jumpers needed so I had to order a TEN PACK from Amazon lol. I guess if any of my RC buddies ever need one, I'll have em!
I'm very happy with the BOOST in it's stock form, but I'd like to make a complete backflip when doing my jumps so I know I need to up the speed.
As I said I'm on a budget, so I'll be doing this one piece at a time. Also keeping an eye on Jenny's RC for the BLX motor and esc to be in stock and line up with a time I can afford them. Whenever those don't align I'll probably pick up something more reasonable (adjustable turnbuckles, BLX motor mount, 15T pinion, HD input gears, the 4x4 upgrade, etc.)
