It wasn’t possible to keep it brushed !
As i was off the hooby for about 30y (I was into rc electric boats when younger, Graupner cobra, key west, arrow, stuff like that…), i really wanted a brushless system to have something up to date !

New rig comes with :
- 2838 3800kv amazon motor with 2,3mm shaft so no need to change mounting and gear .
- 10BL60 esc
- SLR300 receiver that math with the original SLT2 tx
I studied a lot to find all that hoping i twill match without too much trouble :LOL:

Waiting all parts to arrive , i manage to break the chassis, so itw as time to change all at once

I was a bit worried for soldering connector, but it went fine, not perfect but rather accepatble.
but my wire are too long…

I also glued a little reinforcement where the body breaks previsouly, hoping it will help, but not sure
Was planning a bigger part but the upper plate to fix the body shell do not permit it !

And after placing it all in the car, i realized the work you’ve done on all the rigs we can see in here, cable management is so clean ! I’ve stil a lot to train !

Final pics is the car as it is today, i moved the rx and add 2 HR shocks at the rear , with stiff springs and oil to try to avoid slapping again the body

And well, it goes defenitively faster :cool::p
backflipping more easliy . It is perfect for my drving skills in 2s and barely "drivable" but super fun in 3s , I love it :love:
