Default wanting a associated 1/12th scale pan car

Well i couldnt bring any of my nitro cars back too college with me. An im really wanted a pan car. I think if i stuck a brushless motor in it. It will be one hell of a machine. Are they fun too drive an how do they handle??

I am not sure about "super good". With a BL system in it you might have some traction issues in the rear. Spinning out in other words

The 12th scales have extremely low ride height, won't handle well without the right amount of traction, and need to be tuned to the surface you run on. Plus, I doubt they will hold up to the rigors of street bashing.

You're better served with a budget 4wd sedan. A pan car won't give you the traction you need to run on anything but a prepared surface.

If you are talking about the B44 I agree, that is one sick ride. A little spendy but sweat. I'd like to drop my mamba 5700 in one with my 3s lipo's it would be sick. And if you whant a sedan the tc-5 is pretty sick also.

thanks for bumping a thread that has been dead for 3 years with a comment only meant to incite an argument in an electric based sub-forum....awesome.
