swap the electronics from the bandit, or just repair the bandit and use that.
So you were doing 12v? 1.5x8=12 would it still pop/need fans for 8.4v? The thing is I have no money, so I cant repair the bandit stuff.
Next I have a friend who has money falling out his ____ and he wants me to build him a custom RC Drift, but he wants the basic kit to be under $110 (no electronics needed, but if it come with them then thats great)
