I got a Ansmann Royal Flash for bashing, just cause they were cheap and seemed ok but soon found numerous faults. After a few months work and testing I have made a few mods to the original. I started with the spur gear mount. The stock item ran out of true so after reading from another forum about a conversion kit I made a new spur gear mount and fitted 48dp gears. This helped stop motors overheating and enabled more choice of gear ratios.
Next up the chassis, I made a new one from 3mm aluminium, a new drive bearing block, battery tray and several 6mm dia posts were made to complete the chassis. Since that was done I have made front and rear shock towers to help get the flash suspension working how it should with no body flex. I've slapped in a ezrun 60amp with 5.5t 6000kv motor.
The final results.
