Brushless 4811kv, 25A ESC, 2S-1300mAh LIPO. (Do not recommend using a 3S or 4S, motor/ecs need upgrading if you want more power) It’s from hobbyking before shipping, and is great bang for it’s buck. It’s mostly plastic, which makes it economic, it’s not for serious bashing, as the plastic parts will break, but it’s still great fun. It would be awesome if it were CNC aluminum and CF like a CopterX 450 Pro, but we can’t ask for too much here. All in all, I would recommend this thing for some fast driving fun!
