So my friend just took apart his little tyco rebound and wired a 10.8 volt battery from a Bosch drill (shows 12 volts on a multi meter) now that thing freakin flys. the battery is almost as big as the car so its really top heavy and hard for it to get off the line cuz it tends to flip right over. any ideas for a wheelie bar we can jerry rig before we race it against my e-maxx? so far all we have thought of is boltin a hotwheels car to the back of it some how.

there is a wheelie bar thread so go on the search and you will find it. I would die to see it on 3c lipo.

had one of thoes, like 10 years ago

haha yea its pretty old its been crashed and glued back together so many times its ridiculous. i doubt we'll do lipos for this wayyyy to expensive. but he does have some even biger lithium ion batteries for the bigger work drills. god knows if those lil motors can take it tho

imagine a 2008/2009 rebound with dual 3s lipos Dual 540 brushless motors 4 wheel tank drive and can flip over and do all that stuff it'd be nuts!

ShadowKiller

soooo basicly a messed up e-maxx hah the suspension would be nuts on that thing if they made it though

savtraxx

i have one! its a thought!

i had one long time ago.. used to run it in the snow, it didnt like the snow... lost reverse. eventually, it just died... so i did what any good samaritan would do.. i lit it on fire

I've got one of these in the loft somewhere, the 3 wheeled 1, with that big green wheel.

Might dig it out and see what i can do with it

yep! i had the three wheeled one also! mine floated.. i could throw it in the pond and drive it

the tyco rebound was my first r/c i ever had and i thought it was nuts, cool concept with the tank steer and being able to do spins and flips and tricks. i hooked up 2 9 foot batterys and the battery wires would melt off the board and might top out 8-10-mph:P i scrapped it after 8-10 years, then i got an evader and i liked my rebound better then evader was junk. i had the 4-wheel one

This is getting me thinking of taking up an idea I had a while ago to build a better Rebound. Something bigger and faster than the original toy. Maybe with some Imex Jumbo Kongs for two sided ground clearance and cushion. Hmmm...

did you guys the made a FEW nitro ones like yales pic.. its was pretty cool my lhs had one last year it was 200 bucks

yaleforscale

yes these were a pretty tough r/c for being a toy , i like that idea of fitting jumbo kongs , with a real esc and reciever , a couple of 540 motors , would be cool here is a vid showing a kidd kick the thing around the street ,lol,,.... [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtLsNm7iHrw[/youtube]
