Ohh helll yeah Adz, that 1.8HP Epic .18 is a bit over the top
I've fixed a few PWRX'ers RC cars....Dan's lil bro's Tamiya Terracrusher is another one, dropped an O.S. CV-RX .15 into that. Fixed Sean from ASG's crash damaged Kyosho FW-05T, and did some upgrades on Jme's TG10 a few years back.
Adz, still got the pics from our PWRX RC day many years ago? Tamiya pryde!
Fozzy and I were into RC rock crawling for a bit, but got out of that too so I could spend the cash on real cars.
Some pics from my collection:
My Mini-T 1/18 scale electric buggy, stock as a rock
After it copped an airbrushed shell, 8000kv brushless motor and ESC, 11.1V lithium-polymer battery pack, carbon fibre and billet as far as the eye could see, and paddle tyres (ignore front foam road tyres, they were just for display until my matching front tyres arrived from the USA).
The 8000kv motor did 8000rpm per volt....11.1v, you do the math
