Hello and Happy New Year to all! I'd like to go brushless on the cheap with my TT02b plasma edge II and 2016 Blackfoot. I've read here that a 13.5T motor with a TBLE02s is a good match. Could I realistically drop in a brushless motor in these cars without doing any further upgrades (prop shaft, gears, etc.)? I do have an MIP ball diff on order for the Blackfoot already. And which motor would you recommend? Thanks!

Well today was a strange day, my wife has been full of the cold the last 3 days (and now gave it to me, thanks honey ) So I popped to the shops for a few bits and bobs with my 1 year old son along with a visit to Smyths toy store where I ended up buying a Toy Story R/C with Woody and Buzz figures for him ........ Anyways, we popped ito our local Homebargains too as they do pretty good loo roll. We had a browse of their toy section as always and found nothing too interesting apart from a small cheap as chips £1 toy car. It came in 6 different body types, so I purchased 3. Heck at £1 each even if they are rubbish, who cares So I decided to do a wee build thread on one What the outer box looked liked Upon opening, the contents Pre cut pieces pop out very easy Step 1 chassis rails and a few cross members Step 2 Rear bumper attachment Step 3 front bumper and front suspension attachment Step 4 Top body panels fitment Step 5 Fitting the windows Step 6 Roof, windscreen and rear window fitment Step 7 Rear wing attachment (got to have the downforce Step 8 Attaching the wheels Front wheel parts Step 9 Attaching the front wheel holders Step 10 Attaching the front wheels Body panels ready to attach Step 11 Body panels fitted Last part to fit (front spoiler) All finished And there we go folks, £1 and a total build time of 15 minutes with pictures. My 1 year old son loves it in the livingroom, he chases after it and if a parts breaks off, its just snaps back on again. Even the cats get in on the play time too and chase the car around like mad. They love the wind up mechanism noise as the car zooms across the room. All in all £1 well spent me thinks Comments welcome as always, Many thanks James
