Default TL-01 advice please.

Hi
Can anyone tell me if it will fit or if it will kill my TL-01 if I put my B4.1 brushless ESC and motor in it?




Or would I be better off putting a sport tuned motor and a 21 or 23 tooth pinion in it? Its only for some touring car fun in our local club during the winter, I'm an off road person really but the car was only £30 from the car boot with a controller!

Cheers

Well, if the gears are in good condition and it is fully ballraced, it should be ok.

By ball raced you mean none of the plastic excuses for bearings?
I was thinking about stripping it down and checking and buying a bearing set off evilbay. I've also seen hop up gears, worth doing?
But yeah, it should all work? I can only can Nimh in the chassis as the battery hole is oval, how will they last with a five minute race on a brushless touring car?
Cheers

no idea on duration, but I think you can get lipo's to fit that hole.
