DuraTrax Mini Quake RC Truck Turbo Charged Makeover!
Sara asks:
I picked up a used 1/18 scale 4WD RC truck made by DuraTrax called the Mini Quake. After a little TLC it is now called the MINI THUNDER QUAKE. MINI THUNDER QUAKE MODS…. 19T Pinion Gear For Motor. 40T Spur Gear For Drive Shaft. Blue Aluminum CV Drive Shafts Front and Rear. 2 Cell 7.4V 1300 mAh Lipo Battery. Custom Painted Body. The truck ran about 15 mph before the mods and now runs around 21 mph. Almost all the upgrade parts can be purchased through the tower hobby web site. Thanks for watching.

I have one of these! It hits over 25 mph, which is crazy for it’s size.

Ok, sounds like a plan. Thanks miniman9194.

np, if u get a brushless, put the vid up, that would be sweet. you could even get just a brushed motor for it, that would move the little thing pretty quick. but ya good luck and have fun

Not sure, I havent timed the runs on the lipo batteries, but it should be at least twice as long as the stock battery hondatmx.

does it run 15minute when it full charge?

It is not the best paint job, but it goes fast enough that you cant see the imperfections, lol..
Thanks for the comment trx1961.

if its youre first gas car, you should look up how to maintain a gas car, then look for a car that will be suitable for the ground you will be running it on.
ebay is a good spot to grab a deal on nitro/petrol/gas rc cars.

I used a cheap brushed esc from tower hobby. I got the radar gun off ebay for $70. Thanks for watching and the comment traxxasrockhead.
