My first impression of this super slick Hotliner by hobby people is “WOW” from the slick composite black white and red design to its affordable price tag.
At only $120, you can break speeds up to 170mph with this bad boy. Although the setup states to use a 3S lipo, i would most def stick a 4S on a mega 2 turn inrunner motor on a gear box spinning a 9x or a 10x prop. You will need 3 metal gear servos that can pull at least Torque @ 4.8V: 4.6 kg/cm. Enough talk,here are some pics of the BH Sonic Hotliner
