From the Parkflyers RC workbench

Marc's Take

The Fiesta's low chassis made a great starting point for this pavement project.

This earlier video follows a brushed Fiesta Rally that we converted with Hobbywing electronics and a different wheel-and-tire package. It is a customer-build example of the platform's on-road possibilities.

Tires must support the setup. For this build I wanted a road tire that kept a more consistent shape under power, rather than changing the handling as it expanded.
Fitment is part of the project. The chosen dBoots Hoons setup used 17 mm hub adapters, and we checked its position and clearance under the Fiesta body.
Treat the conversion as a complete package. The motor, speed control, wheels and battery setup in the video belong to that modified car, not the standard current Fiesta.

Parts from the older Fiesta conversion: dBoots Hoons white-compound tires for the pavement-focused setup; Traxxas 17mm wheel adapters used with that wheel conversion.

My take: decide whether you want a rally car or a pavement-focused project, then choose the tires and supporting hardware for that job. This build was very much aimed at the latter.

Older-platform build reference. The video's 4S running applies to its aftermarket Hobbywing conversion. It does not establish the battery limits, supplied electronics or compatibility of this factory BL-2S or VXL version. Follow this model's specification and manual.
