Tamiya Subaru Brat Speed Test - Torque Tuned Motor!

Hello and welcome to my top speed test of the re-released Tamiya Subaru Brat on the updated ORV chassis. Hopefully, before you see the run you will have a guess at how fast you think it will go!

The Brat is fitted with ball bearings and a Tamiya Torque Tuned motor, has the high speed gearing option (19T pinion gear) and is otherwise completely stock.
I'm using the Tamiya TBLE-02s speed controller and a Turnigy 3000mAh NiMh battery.

About the Subaru BRAT
The Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter was created by Subaru in the late 1970’s from their earlier 4WD station wagon model for the US market. Powered by a flat-four engine ranging from 1.6 to 1.8 liters in displacement, this pickup had the unique feature of having jump seats welded to the truck bed, which allowed it to be imported as a car instead of a truck. One of the car’s more famous owners was former US President Ronald Reagan, whose red BRAT is restored and displayed at his former residence in California.
