S8 BXe
This is an excellent machine! Just wish there were more people racing 1/8e.
The 'problem' with the ESC fan is easily fixed. There is quite a lot of 'float' in the impeller shaft so if you tip it on to its roof, the fan blades can come into contact with the 4 x button head screws that locate the fan assembly onto the ESC heat sink.
Simply remove the screws and grind a flat edge onto one side of each of the heads, so that they do not overhang the fan area. When refixing, apply a dab of CA or stud lock to the thread to prevent them from turning.
My son has run the BXe RTR buggy to good effect at numerous tracks and likes it, although the kit motor is a bit limp wristed.
I reviewed the RTR version in the June edition of Radio Race Car International. If you want any more feedback (we have also tested the Team version), just ask.
