Time for a good laugh...
Ok, I have had this Tamiya M03 chassis for a while. It started life as the Suzuki Swift kit, and I built it stock the first time, complete with the tamiya esc and silver can motor. Later it got a 17t motor and a full bull bearing treatment. Since then it has just sat around, and I played with it often enough to ruin the body.
So I decided to go brushless, had a ahcker b40 12t motor and a sidewinder hanging around. Put them in with the largest pinion, 21t, that will fit. Using a pair of 2100 3s lipos in parallel to power it. So far it has done 42mph, and has a bit more to go, just need more space. This thing is front wheel drive, and will spin the tires all the way to full speed.
This is most likely the strongest rc vehicle ever made. We have jumped this car, smashed it into numberous parked cars, and even played with it with 1/8 buggies. Nothing has broken, worn much or stripped out. Still using the stock gears and diff. I added some turnbuckles for the steering, but it still has the friction shocks!
Anyway, plan is to get it past 50mph, and then maybe put a faster motor in there. I am going to try 4s lipo with the hacker and see what that does. I also have a 7s and 8s feigao 380c motors to try. The 8s on 3s lipo should be fast, it is 4900kv.
