Default Brushless Hong Nor

Heres a sneak peak of the oOple 8th brushless review car, its a work in progress and we still don't have all the parts but we gave it its first run this week, its savage! (see little vid of wheelie on tarmac.....)


Wiring still looks a bit messy and as mentioned there are number of custom parts still to be fitted.


Anyone with any questions about what i've learnt putting the car together feel free to PM me if you're thinking of a similar project.

Look out for a proper oOple review over the coming weeks

No Carl, going to a wedding...

Be good to run it at Stotfold if they'll let me to show a few ppl...

fyi the motor is a lot more powerful than the one jonathan was trying in the 8ight at southport.. im using a different speedo - the mamba max speedo too, but same awesome trakpower lipo - 14.8v 25c !

The atomic carbon parts look very sleek though, be good to maybe see some in the HN ?

MAN, that looks sweet James. And I've got to say (not being big headed...much) the shell looks mint! They just seem to look so much better without a big lump of alloy spoiling the lines!

Top work dude.

brushless 1/8 scale is a blast for sure. I have had an MBX5 converted to electric, and now an RC8 converted to electric with about the most factory looking kit, the one from RC Product Designs. Excellent performance and loads of fun.
