Hi folks,

Almost complete my bear hawk restoration.

Will the old speed controller (yes the old speed controller that uses servo) handle the sport tuned motor? I'm not looking forward to spend money on the need ESC.

Also, I like to use different front and rear wheels, any suggestions?

Looking forward to get this baby up and running!

Thanks for all the feedback.

I think that the msc handles the st because this combo was used on the group C. On my bear hawk I have the light rims ( like the egress).

Thanks Stingray-63

Do you have any good recommendations on light rims that are available on ebay?

Good luck. You can find egress ones for the rear but for the front that will be harder. I found mine some years ago. rear in a job lot and front in my shop.

Hey, When you say restoration I assume you have a box art paint scheme so, may I suggest the Sand Viper dished wheels which are a med grey or the Desert Gator white star wheels Both are affordably available on evilbay


"sand viper"



"Desert Gator"

I've been real luck with a speed controller I found on E-Bay for like 12 dollars. I have three of them in three different trucks and they work great, of course they are just stock motors I'm using. If I get some time I'll look up on ebay and find the sellers name for you if you want.

Thanks for all inputs.

I put the astute front and rear wheels on my bear hawk and they look awesome!

Now, I want to put street tires on my bear hawk, any suggestions?

Thanks!

For the rear, maybe a set of tgx tires same as the street blitzer beetle. For the front, a pair of straight lined tires like the Falcon or grasshopper 2.

Would Street Rover tyres fit on a Bear Hawk?

exactly thèse ones on tr15t rims. With long front uprights. That will be famous.
