Default Old can be fun!

this is not a tamiya, but its actually a tamiya clone.

not sure the turn # of the motor that came with it, but id guess it is 15t. i put a losi lipo compatible ESC, oil filled shocks on the rear and this beater body that i think looks pretty cool on it.

i raced it against my buddies redcat caldera 10e(brushless) he had the stock 6cell nimh pack and i was using a 2s lipo. his truck was only alittle faster than this little brushed buggy. but it was pretty close!
the suspension is a blast. even a pebble can make it jump all over the place!

the front bumper had taken some damage where it mounts to the body, and i will have to fab up a stronger mount point soon.
