Sorry for the poor picture quality! And that old rx battery on the front is to add some weight so it actually turns :P

Its a big IF with the brushless system mate, got problems with it right now and I may end up buying a top spec brushed motor for it :) Will still be stupidly fast :P

Sounds like fun :D
I had my mardave on 3s the other day and it was just crazy! Couldn't keep it in a straight line hence why it has that rx battery taped up front! Really was fast! But like you say, grip is a massive issue with these things! :good:

you might want to look it to a new shell for it which will give it better aerodynamics like the ascari / opel calibra or the touring car shell which is based on the tc speed 6.

i ran my mini pickup ended up sticking a wing on the back of it to give it some rear grip.
