I have the Tamiya Hummer and its nice but not much on power? does anybody know how much it can take? I was thinking of putting my brushless in it and take it for a spin. but I dont want to blow it up? I am going to brake it down install bearrings. and replace the diffs with spools. I want to do some off roading. any advice?? before I do this?

what brushless? stay with a 19 turn power plant and i think it will be fine. I had a s1o with a similar chassis and run just a 27 turn stock motor in it, it was plenty for the suspension, unless your just bombing it up and down the street.

I have a 13.5 LRP I think its a little to much I just want to rip up my yard some. and take it to the beach. as bad as it did in the snow the sand is going to kill it?

I'd say that 90% of this chassis is made up of brittle plastic. It's not meant for a brushless, slap a Mag Mayhem or some torquey brush motor and call it a day.

What about TA04 onroad chassis? Think a 15T double motor is too much for it?
