Personally if I buy one it will definitely be staying as the Formula E model. I love all the aero and look of it, ...would be fun also to see how fast I could make it. 😎 1 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Tamiya receiver (TRU = Receiver) The ESC is tucked under the damper on the other side Edited April 27, 2020 by TWINSET 2 Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage 2,401 Posted April 27, 2020 If they come out with some Le Mans prototype style body's I'd definitely be interested in this. Quote Share this comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I love the look of this thing but I don't do shelf queens anymore, ...only runners and I'm not sure you could fit some of the ESC's I'd like to put in it. 🤔 Will be interesting to see when it does come out what space there is and what people are able to do.

Kpowell911 8,606 Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) That looks unreal I love it haha! Does look crazy tight for electrics though! Whats the smallest stuff available? Looks like a regular sized servo and 540 motor, receivers are pretty small, but ESC height could be an issue? Im sure it'll be fine as Im pretty sure Tamiya know more than me The names confused me, I expected a this to be a follow on from the TA, TB, TC IS a TT02 replacement in the pipeline?

That's what concerns me, ...some of the ESC's I have used are quite tall with the fans on top. Recently fitting a Hobbywing ESC in one of my other speed run RC's, a Serpent S120 which is 1/12th scale, I had to remove the fan in the end so that I could fit the body shell on it. Not having a fan usually isn't a problem though as with speed running I usually make one pass and then leave to cool but couldn't "bash" without an ESC fan for sure. Won't be a problem though if people add a touring car body shell as you could make a plinth on top to mount the ESC and even RX but you couldn't do that if you want to run the Formula E shell.
