321 - First Time in More Than 35 Years

 

For the first time in more than 35 years I experienced a battery shortcut: after charging one of my Team Orion Rocket Pack and plugged it with the ESC it started to smoke... never happened in this years in the hobby.

Unfortunately something happened also to the ESC: brake and reverse seem to be gone, I will make a try to reset them before swapping it with another one.

320 - That Insane Motor Swapping

 

When Tamiya release the first BBX images, before ordering it, I wondered if my Reedy Modified Pink Dot could be the right motor to put in but in buiIding it I decided to go with a Team Orion Element 19t instead bought on porpouse.

With the 19t the car run really fast on tarmac or other hard surfaces but on the grass it resulted a bit lazy so, during last holidays, I decided to swap the motor with my good old (and practically unused) Reedy.

318 - I Brought My BBX On Holiday!

During the past two weeks we have been on holidays in our cottage in the alps. I brought my BBX to have some fun after the long months it spends on a shelf awaiting for moments like this.
