I too find myself lately looking for more brushed motors. I was putting brushless in everything but nostalgia is winning, I am sure I will go back and forth. ya know what i ran my 27x2 w/ a 5k lipo in my blue eagle sunday during practice and it was god awful slow but was a total blast! was out ther...

looks great dude, loving the glossy look

one thing to watch out for is warping, did it to my trx sledgehammer tranny case trying to dye it black :oops: http://i483.photobucket.com/albums/rr198/FieroMan121/URC%20Build%20Off%203/DSCN2208.jpg that being said, obviously not all plastics are created equal and i have no experience with dyeing (s...
