After careful consideration I've bought my first RC car and gone for the B/L Outlaw and I'm blown away by how much fun it is!
I've taken it bashing on a few local playing fields which led me to going back to the model shop yesterday to get a second battery for longer runs. I've heard the Outlaw can take a 3s but to be honest I was happy with the speed from 2s so I purchased a 50c 4500mah to go with the battery that came with the car.
The battery is 1cm too long for the battery tray but the Velcro straps hold it in place so that's fine. Now the new battery was spot on until I seemed to lose 75% of power. On further inspection I've lost the (sharply named) rear central CVD shaft rear central. I've found the spare part in plastic, is it likely that I can upgrade the part to a stronger material or is this something I just have to be careful with when using the new battery? (if so I'll order a few spare parts)
