any monster truckers here?nitro?

brushless POWAH

hello. new comer reporting in. Just bought my HSP XSTR 3 days ago. Now, really need to buy new higher rate lipo batt. the stock 1800MAh really cepat habis. any recommendation?

Some pictures.

Welcome aboard!

From what observe, your car is the stock brushed form.

If you want batteries, you can try higher mAH NiMH cells, say 3800mAH onwards. In future, you can upgrade to LiPo power as well. There are certain precautions on using LiPo batteries, and I'll try to list them out when I have the time.

Oh, I do have the EXACT same buggy. But it's pretty trashed right now. New set of wheels on the way.

IMHO, this is the perfect car for starting out the hobby. If you want to continue in the hobby, good. You won't lost too much if you decide to pull out as well. But as a word of advise, DO NOT upgrade the buggy to brushless motors. I've done that to my Brontosaurus, and it SUCKED. These HSPs are not built for brushless power in mind. Keep them in brushed form, and they will reward you with decent reliability and parts support. If you feel like you want more, I suggest you save up and get a proper and better car. For me, I'd get the Traxxas Slash 2WD. Very durable and well known

BTW, where you from? Perhaps we could bash together?

EDIT : Just noticed you wanted LiPO batteries. No problem, but you may run the risk of burning the ESC/motor. Also, if you do plan to get LiPo batteries to match your stock brushed set up, you MUST buy a LVA (Low Voltage Alarm). The alarms are about RM15 each. Get a decent LiPo battery. Avoid unknown brands, stick to better brands like Turnigy or Zippy.

Also, please read up on how to take care of LiPo batteries and maintenance of LiPo batteries. Dangerous stuff.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Yup, it is stock brushed form, this is my 1st buggy. Still learn to adapt my hand n brain to control the gun-type-transmitter.

thinking to upgrade the battery 1st as the stock battery running out so fast. I might buying 3800mAH battery as thats the highers rate the ESC can support. (according to the warning sticker)

haha..yes i noticed that you has the exact same buggy. read this thread from page 1. what happened to it? look trashed pretty bad. Try to avoid motorcycle and hit a divider and landed in a such a manner that caused the lower arm to break, resulting in the awkward position of the front wheel?


I dont think i will quit this hobby as it is not as hard as flying the Belt CP V2 (yes i have 1 of that too). Upgrading to brushless, maybe not now as i still have a difficulties to control the car left or right, the gun-type transmitter confused me. We always want more didn't we? I was once looking to buy HPI Vorza, but the price is killing me and it is hard to find in Malaysia market. Maybe one day, I'll buy Traxxas E-Revo..hahaha.

I'm from selayang. ~1 hour drive to cheras via MRR2.


oh yes, my bad. the battery I'm looking is NiMH, i tough the current battery type is LiPo, that's why i mentioned LiPo. maybe u can recommend me the balance charger as well.

Might take a while for you to get used to the gun-type TX. haha. I've tried using a 3900mAH NiMH pack on the buggy with no apparent ill-effects. So I guess up to 3900mAH should still be safe.

The buggy got whacked pretty badly I think it ran straight into a curb. Cant recall that well Get used to the car first. Feel how it handles. In brushed form, the tires should last quite some time, if you're playing on paved roads. The Vorza is a damn nice car, 1/8th scale and very durable. I do believe DaiSheng might have the Vorza, also prices might be

In fact, I dont exactly bash in Cheras. I have a friend who has an offroad track at Kajang. It a 1/8th track, so 1/10 cars might find it a bit harder to navigate, especially the jumps. So as a word of advise, don't jump just yet I've tried jumping in my new car, darn rear pivot block came off a few times

May I know where you get your stuff? So that I can recommend an appropriate shop to get your supplies? There are 2 shops in Klang, in which one of them has very competitive prices. The name is MyMegaStation. If price is not an issue, you could also try RC-Smart at Sunway Giza mall. Or FGM Hobby at Bdr Sri Permaisuri. If you are near SS15, there is RCDreamz there. If you are near Puchong, there is DRC Toys (You have to negotiate with them a lot!) The other shop at Klang is MyRCStation. Decent prices as well. But please do compare prices before buying ya.

Yes, getting better with the orientation now. So it is OK to use 3900mAH NiMH. Your ESC didn't burn?


this buggy quite easy to handle. I play it at paved roads at my house area. The wear out tire worried me, how much does it cost to change 4 pieces of it?

I see, if kajang that is very far away from my house. I surveyed the price at respected shop website as u mentioned, but i bought my XSTR at Berjaya Time Square 6th floor. i think u know the place. I've been to RCDreamz once, but the car that I've looking for, they dont have it.

Regarding the Balance Charger, can you recommend me some good brand/model that doesn't burn a hole to my wallet?

My ESC is fine, although my brushed bronto is on the way to burning the forth brushed motor. If the tires got stock, expct to pay about RM35-40 for a pair of rims+tires. Prices may vary from shop to shop. RCDreamz used to have the buggy a year ago. Was priced at RM299 at that time. You can try the BC6 balance charger, but you will also need a power adapter.

I see, RM35-40 is ok i think.
balance charger BC6 which one bro? BC6 Digital Multifunctional Charger / B6 charger. or IMAX B6 Charger or Imax RC B606 AC Performance and Professional ntelligent Digital Balance Charger or GT Hobbies X-Charger B6

The GT Hobbies should be ok

Thanks for the input.

btw, i'll be shopping for some stuff from hobbyking.com. Interested in anything? pm me.

I dont know, i'm looking to buy some hand tools for regular maintainance for the RC buggy and RC heli.
But, how the tools price compared to our walk in shop malaysian market?
