RE: 1/10 scale upgraded 70+mph
I forgot to ask, would there be any other modifications i would have to do to avoid any mishaps? Eg would i need to upgrade the stock servo.
any and evrything sugestion would be helpful, unfortunately dont know anyone near me who is into rc racing cars to lean in for help, there is one hobby shop half an hour from me, i dont think they will be willing to help me install the new upgrades for free so ill b doing it myself
