My dad had a Hornet and he would let me drive the battery dead after it started losing power, manageable enough for 7-year-old me. Fast forward 10 years later and high-school me put an Arrma 15T in it after the wires on the Trinity 19T my dad had in a bin wore out. Fast forwars another 6 years and I still bash that Hornet at 23. I plan on getting the Evo and slapping the same electronics in it

@@weofnjieofing no worries. I’m in touch with the distributors so should know as soon as they land in the uk. Would be nice to have a Technigold re release. But I guess a Sport motor would be fine. I’ll prob keep it brushed as it’s meant to be. As it doesn’t have a slipper clutch and I’ve found cars without a slipper don’t like brushless much unless it’s a real low power system. In which case there’s then just no point. Unless for looks.
