Why have you mounted the esc on the battery strap?? Wont it get hotter being there and make the car un-balanced?

DCM · #3 02-09-2009

I seen that, I think it is cause it is pretty tall, and won't fit under the shell on the left.

mine does when its on its side , rather this than in the middle :P

the stock body lacks room so its there, there is enuff room under there now has room to breath drill some holes in the window,

is shouldn't really make a big diff on the balancing side of things

the radio gear is from hong kong thay sell them on ebay too, fort i would try it for the price

I never run it indoors mate. Why do you think it wont last long??

dust, stones, grass ect, will damage the fan as its not protected

Paulmay79 · #11 05-09-2009

Ill just have to replace it if it dies then. rahter a dead fan than a dead esc.

i had to cut a holes out of my shell to fit the esc and take the window out and all crap goes in the car and get wet inside of the car

Paulmay79 · #13 05-09-2009

All my windows are intact i just cut a hole on the side where the esc is mounted to give clearance for the fan it works a treat.
