Aqroshot...cool name...cool car!
Here we have my Aqroshot....maybe the first one on TC?
It is on the DT-03T platform and has a lovely wide track with the road wheels fitted. The long wheelbase gives the car nice handling characteristics and looks great on the move.
I made some schoolboy errors when painting the body. 1) The paint was applied too thick and ran 2) The decals were installed in the wrong order. Nevertheless, she is a runner and you can't tell I made the errors anyway.
I will run this regularly, I have installed a chinese 15T esc, a Hpi 15T motor and will be using a 2 cell Lipo battery. The higher voltage output under load will mean that it is slightly faster than if I was just using a NiMh. ;)
EDIT This car is a runner.

It would be good to know if the neo fighter shell fits underneath for dirt and water protection?

@ taffer. It does fit and could be used to cover up the internals. Good idea mate. The only thing is the longer body posts of the Aqroshot must be bent inwardsat the top[ as the Neo Fighter body is wider than the chassis along the bulbous bonnet line and forces the longer posts out. But it does work and is worth doing if driven in dirty environments.

Looks pretty racey, do you think it will make for a good replacement for the Blitzer range?

I happen to like both grumpy pants......the Blitzer range is competent and drives well.....this Aqroshot continues from where the Neo Fighter left off.....
Grab your Blitzers now just in case they are discontinued......

These do look like an ideal pavement/back yard basher! Must be nippy under acceleration with those small wheels? But do they have any grip?

Mad Bee....they power slide like a drift chassis......really nice in my opinion!!! Plus for a brushed motor this set up is quick!!!

Sounds fun to me!
