Default Tamiya Q/D Benz

Picked this up at the thrift store for $1.50,no Tx....



Opened it up & trashed the stock electrics...



Modded & mounted a traxxas servo...




Modded stock batt. compartment to accept a 9.6v pack...




Threw in an HPI Rx & 12v ESC & wired it all up to the stock 380 motor



Finished car,took it for a run & it is a blast
