Even room for my capicitor. I have found with several Tamiya esc's that their bec is crappy, drops to low under power and makes the servo twitch bad, so head up to your local electronics store and grab one of these caps and problem solved.

ahhh I saw that in the picture and was going to ask about it. 4,700 micro farads is the correct size? I'll tell my buddy who has glitch issues.

I had thought you needed it for brakes, but noticed it was a tamiya esc and was all kinds of confused :rof

Yea its a good size you can get a little bigger but from what I read it probaly wont do much. You can buy them from novak also but their $10+, I got mine for like 50cents, lol. I would notice with every Tamiya ride I had when you hammered the throttle the servo would jerk to one side which made it hard to drive so found it was the bec crapping out. Good esc's and all but need a higher bec.
I will get it outside today if the rain stays away :tmb

Ah lol you know I will.
Trying to figure something better for my antenna right now, its bugging me. DOnt care for my choice of spots, since theirs a lack of a body so to speak I couldnt hide it underneath. Even without the cover it looks mean, they really did this one up good back when. Now wheres the hop ups? lol

Came up with a better antenna idea. My typical fashion I figure it out after I put a extra hole in the lid :bang Just put some heat to the tube and routed it like a snake, nice and tidy. Just waiting for the paint to dry on the body parts then sticker it up and get some finished shots. Still raining here so not sure I will get to run it :ack

Just took "Crash Cramer" out for a spin and what fun ride! Thing has spunk with the dirt tuned motor, awesome motor. This one is going with me next weekend to the coast for sure. Like to see some hopups, cvds and what not. At some point id like to get a better esc and slap 12t motor in it :drool

It looks pretty quick. I always liked the look of the Hotshot. It's unique, especially the suspension in the back.

That second vid wouldn't be to bad, but it looks like the camera was focusing on that weed. :tong

It's quicker than I thought it was gonna be, with a 27T motor. Looks like it runs pretty good. Should be real fun this weekend.
