Hot Bodies E-Zilla 10
What can I say, the E-Zilla 10 is crazy, super fast and can pull an endo under heavy braking. I did even flip it over once from full power to full stop. With the older Ni-CD\Ni-MH you were lucky to get 20 minutes run time. I have now upgraded it to Li-Po batteries (Voltz 50c 5000mah 4s) and now it lasts 55 minutes at a maximum speed of 13mph. If I go full power (remove the limiter from the ESC\Transmitter) the max speed is 38mph!

I have sourced a duplicate bodyshell from Modelsport UK online which was for a Fastratx offroad Beetle but is the same as the Hot-Bodies Beetle bodyshell. I wasn't quite sure what colour to paint it so I went with Black and silver inserts. I have left the protective cover on the body for now, but may remove it in the future. You can also see the conversion to Lipo Batteries with the new ESC and voltage meters to ensure you don't go below 3.10 volts per cell.
I have now moved the volt meter to the vacant battery holder on the right hand side and installed a set of rope LED rear lights wrapped around the rear bumper.
I bought my first E-Zilla 10 from a small model shop in Horley, since then I have managed to source 3 more from ebay for £150, I feel that these were a bargain as I have seen several sell for between £200 and £350.
