Changed all motor related electronics tonight.

AON 4900 Brushless (3Racing Heatsink x 2)
+ Team Associated 13T Pinion (for RC18T)
+ Mamba 25 ESC
+ United RC 9.6v Batteries

Added a few grams to the already heavy buggy... The GPM alloy Rims fit perfectly but quality is not that good.

The custom made rear Silver Wing is here, no wordings. Thanks to GPM.

22 degree Alloy steering knuckles by GPM again (ATM alloy knuckles are also bought but not yet installed).

One question... when I turn off the Mamba switch, the ESC remains power on until I unplug the T-connector... normal? :eek:

The car is obviously much faster with good torque. But no full speed testing tonight since it is raining outside... :(

Yes it is normal, if you just turn it off theres a little yellow light that will stay on and drain your battery. What we do is just leave the switch turned on all the time and unplug the battery.

Great! Now I can sleep well tonight.

BTW, why they design it like this? Why not just turn off and turn off completely...

I have no idea, probably to let you know that a battery is still connected. They probably took the same program they use on there airplane esc and modified for a car.
