Tamiya Subaru Brat Original 1983 with Modern Electronics

Thirty five years later I am still enjoying my remote controll toy that I bought new in 1983. The Tamiya Subaru Brat was having a speed controller issue. This mechanical part controls the electric current flow to the motor for forward and reverse control. The copper contacts were worn out and needed to be replaced. Finding a mechanical controller is almost impossible because they are not made anymore. My option was to upgrade to an electronic speed controller. In this video I show how I replaced the ESC. The upgrade works very well. I also upgraded the stock motor to make more torque and speed. It s been a really fun improvement. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the Ozzstar channel.
