Can't, motors are driven from the DMD.. would be very difficult to somehow route the signal to BL ESC and then drive the BL motors...

http://www.r-c-tanks.com/
(go to custom RC tanks)

I only need 2900 for a T34!!! (that's inculding shipping; I live in CA. It ships from Russia... That's cheaper than that CAT! )

Of course, I bet it's be about 3000 total.....hmm....arghhh....I want one, time to start saving now.

I guess it is not so bad since the Leopard will set you back $1,000+ after you got the radio / etc. already..

LOL, 85 lbs.. ha!!

The DMD is basically a multi-function unit that matrix out the 4-ch and the trim controls into a multi ch control.. so it is a built-in ESC, controls the sound, the gun elevation, the lights, etc, etc.

The powertrain on this thing is also kind of weird that it uses dual 540 motor, and one is used to power forward and reverse, while the other one is for turning.. so the DMD does the mixing for you..

Actually, now I think about it, since the drivetrain separate the forward / reverse from the turning, maybe there's no mixing in the DMD.. in that case, it might be possible..

I will find out once I build the tranny, will let you guys know.. LOL!!

Nah, gonna overload the DMD...

Really, though, there's no point of going any faster than stock, though..
