couldnt you cut the windows out
say all the side windows or just both the front doors
and the grill and then get some mesh from b&q and hot glue it in place
instead of drilling the chassis??

It's ok having cooling on the shell, do usually cut a vent in the front window and side window.

The chassis should now cool the motor a lot better, will put a pic on.

Last time it was used we used 2 4600mah packs back to back, so cooling seems to have worked.

Want to look into Lipos, trying to decide what to go for, we need 7.4v 2cell packs.

Will put some pics up and read your truck forum posts and report back.

Got a version 2 speed controller for the lads car because the version 1 wasn't as fast, the fan didn't spin fast enough and the version2 also has more programming options.

Not finished yet.

Drilled holes to cool the motor as it is in a bad place for cooling, it already had a motor heatsink.
Got a bigger motor cog too for both.

Few pics:

Mine is perfect now with the added speed controller heatsinks.






Version 1 and version 2

you could drill the whole of the chassis
it will make the car faster and lighter
but you may loose all the strength
as its a plastic chassis

here is a link to the peak truck show
http://scaletrucks.bb3host.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1382

Must have been realy good driving your truck around that lot.

Might have a bid on that.

Status: offline 		Hi all

I have just won one of teh Bycmo Subarus on ebay for the princly sum of £14 including delivery for the car and virtually all the magazines.
Some of the upgrade options have been fitted while some are still attached to the mags. At the moment I only seem to be missing one of the upgraded wheel sets (issues 47, 49, 52, and one other). Has anybody got one they would be willing to sell?
Also, if I want to upgrade to an esc how do I work out which would be suitable? For example is this one OK? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EL-Model-RC-Car-300A-Motor-Speed-Controller-ESC-SE089-/270642609689?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3f038e7e19

Thanks for any help

Vince

welcome to the forum
you could ask ian78 if he has any bycmo wheels
or you could always upgrade the hex hubs to 12mm hex hubs
that way you can run any wheels you like (like tamiya,hpi ect)
as far as the esc goes i dont see there being much of a problem

hope that helps

Vince, buy these to fit the normal 12mm hex wheels:  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12mm-Drive-Hex-Hub-Wheel-Aluminium-Yellow-x-4-Pins-/330451510329?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item4cf071e439

With the electric speed controller we ran these Tamiyas for ages, running an 18 turn motor at one point and it just ran till the battery went.
With the 18turn motor we did fit some extra heatsinks, never had any overheating probs.

Welcome to the site too

Tamiya:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tamiya-TEU104BK-Teu-104bk-ESC-RC-Cars-NEW-/360375489586?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item53e80d9432

Try to get hold of the uprated white cogs instead of the black cogs, there is a major difference to top speed.
