Default brushless tamiya ford high lift

I know its a scale car. the top speed is about 7mph in 3rd which is to scale, but how about a brushless one.
anyone tried it?

Why would you buy a Hi-Lift and expect for it to go fast, it's just not made for speed.

The High Lift is no fun with a Mamba 7700. [] How fast? Dunno........too fast to drive without ruining the body/mirrors. The Novak crawler would probably work pretty well because it will have a lot of torque at slow speeds, but you will not want to go fast after putting so much work into making the body beautifulish. The truck is just not stable enough for speed.

I got mad since I had a slight paint run, even though it wasn't noticeable. Now the poor body beaten, but I did put a 19t Money in it. I pre ordered one of those new 8.5 XBR's for it, and I plan to get a new one for the show quality, as well as get a MFU for it...

Heh, I didn't even bother with the wipers/mirrors/exhaust...

Try it......Go ahead, try it......be sure to video it soo we can see the carnage

Personally, I'd get something else and stick a Mamba in it.
