Upgrading or modifying your RC is a great way to make it go faster, run more efficiently, or resist damage better. But before you upgrade, make sure the rest of the RC can handle whatever you're doing. Sometimes one upgrade requires another -- or you risk the kind of problems shown in these videos.
In the Centrifugal Force - Explosion video observe what happens to the rear tires of this RC. It's pretty cool to watch, isn't it? But at the end of the video read about what had happened to the gear box after this little blow-out.
The RC Stadium Truck Fire shows what can happen when you pair a "whole lotta motor" with a not-so-great ESC. Duh, indeed. Here's another quicky ESC smoker.
Remember: be sure that your RC and all its components can handle whatever you want to upgrade. If not, that simple or expensive upgrade could turn into a lot more complex or expensive repair job.
