I picked up an E10 for 25 bucks off Craigslist. Never realized how freaking cheaply made this guy was made.

I am going to bring it to the office, and it will pretty much be the lunch toy.

I tore it down, and there is a lot of plastic on the thing. From drive shafts to well everything.

I tossed the motor esc rx and so forth. I got an order placed with Amain for a servo mount from xray and a cheap 10 dollar servo for the thing.

I plan to get one of those dirt cheap leopard combos for it as well as one of those 20 dollar 2.4 radios.

After that I think I will see if the thing can take more power on plastic driveline, otherwise I think I will go with some of the limited aluminum parts for it.

I am hoping to keep this as close to the hundred dollar range as possible. I have a feeling though that I will be needing some drivline upgrades when transferring to brushless.
