Associated Reflex 14b x Quicrun 16BL30 Should Be ILLEGAL!

In this episode, I add a Hobbywing Quicrun 16bl30 brushless esc to the Reflex 14b so I can run 3s, take it on some speed runs, then to the dirt track.
I have some more heavy-duty parts inbound so make sure you don't miss those upgrades.
Stay well,
Bris

    Whats good BIGBRIS, I knew that little buggy was going to fly, you said I'm going to use a 3s, those little wheels or going to balloon and that buggy is going to be a little rocket "NICE"😄 I think that was a cool little project.. P.S. don't stop the BASH and the FUN stay blessed My brother 😀

    Yup, seems there has been a shift to smaller rcs. I think the plethora of small-scale RCs on, say, Momazon, has dictated what some of the longer standing companies are producing.
