And now gona start thinking where to find upgrades... as they are rare this days! First impression: -It's a evolution toy, not a real RC car. But aftermarket itens surprass that! ![]() -It's loud when playing! -Very poor steering angle! -It's got an abosulte potencial for upgrades! You all know that... That's it for now!

so miniz pcb's... -AM 27mhz , handle 7.4v 2s li-po! Safe! On the long run, you should get some potenciometer's because the high voltage screw them faster! But it takes more than a couple of years! ![]() -2,4ghz boards.... hum... li-fe power 6.6v are made for 2.4ghz miniz pcb. More volts? never tried.... but saw on youtube an miniz buggy with 7.4v 2s li-pos ![]() ![]() hope that helps... |
