Hey !! great site man... I have gotten back into tamiya cars about 1.5 years ago (I just turned 30 !!) I have a lancia delta, alfa gulietta, WRX and a lotus elise(aftermarket on a TT-01) shell..,.
BUT
my pride and joy is my 2 week old HORNET !!!... I always wanted this as a kid and my folks couldn't afford it so my brother an di ended up with a pair of knock offs that would only steer if they went backwards... you basically drove around doing 3-point turns !!! Anyways... I recently got the HORNET and slapped a 15 turn motor with a matching ESC.... this thing is a complete killer.... I've had people ask me if its a nitro car and are amazed at the speed !! the battery life is not that bad either.. I actually put a TT-01 heat sink on my motor and that limits the gear box travel you mention... I might do the modification mentioned with the screws also...QUESTION; does anyone know of aftermarket rear tires??
