"Simplify, Then Add Lightness" : a simple phrase (but not a simple though), the Colin Chapman motto the to me has became a kind of mantra so I've decided to ask to my friends at Tag Your T-Shirt to embroider it on a trucker cap (in racing british green, of course) I will use for my outdoor works at our home on the alps.

437 - A Song For Billy Ray: Custom Decals
Finally the awaited custom decals for the Blitzer for the young Billy Ray have been arrived. The inspiration comes from the legendary Troy Lee graphics, unfortunately result isn't perfect because I've tried to hide some body imperfections giving to the decals a white background... I hope that Billy will be focused on the flames and to the performace and will forgive his old uncle 😎

436 - The Unexpected Upgrade For My BBX: Brushless Power!
Yes, I gave in, I swallowed my pride and I’ve bought a brushless motor and a brushless ESC.
The reason is that my BBX (and the BB-02 in future) using a brushed set-up is ever on the edge between reasonable perfomance and lavic temperatures.
Ad my usual, I’ve surfed the Web for some infos and to find something that could make for me and, in the end, I’ve bought a Ruddog RP540 13.5T 540 Sensored motor, the Hobbywing QuicRun 10BL120G2 120A G2 Sensored ESC and the Hobbywing Led Program Card.
Hobbywing boxes looks a bit aseptic, I miss race proven/90s graphics.
Of course I will keep NiMH batteries because my experience with LiPo have been a little catastrofic and I don't trust them.
