yes it’s an enertec. i’m quite fond of them cos they scream straight out of the box, handle well at high speeds and cost $27.( i’m a tighta8s, don’t actually own a tomy bit!) i’m the kind of person that loves the minimal look, i generally drive my bits with the cover off for weight reduction and looks. but with an enertec the pcb sits right on top, so i needed to add some protection for rollovers. i drive mostly outside on concrete so it happens regularly. i had some acetate lying around and made a paper template by folding in half and cutting little bits off til it looked right. i folded a bit of acetate in half, drew the outline of the template on it, cut it out and painted the inside black. it wraps around the chassis from the top and is attached with 4 tiny screws at the bottom(those little dots between front and rear wheels. sorry, camera phone shots).the rear panel is atached with 2 more screws above the motor.as for what’s inside……… nothing! it’s just stock parts on the inside. i removed the rear lights and moved the front ones back. it does keep the motor and battery a lot cooler. don’t go looking too hard for technical brilliance, i’m very new to this rc/micro rc thing (2 months) but by ristening your teachings, i have brossomed from a tiny sprout, into the mighty twisted willow that stands before you!!
ps thanks for the tip uA, hope i get it this time!:8ball:
pps any ideas about what to put in the body?
