I though i'd put a quick update. It seems I cannot kill the old girl, The most damage I've done is bent the antennae tube and that's despite landing on upside down, or completely missing the down ramp with about 10m long 4m+ high air.

The CC 1512 1800 is awesome on 5s, I'm half temped to chuck the two 3s in there just for a bit of 6s fun. Plenty of power to throw the car around with ease.

The trackstar is still going strong too. I thought I wrecked it the other day after it got a bit of splash from driving through a puddle by accident. I thought I saw smoke, so I shut it down immediately and proceeded to remove the case and see if it had cooked. But I only found half a ton of dirt inside the case, which I blew out, put it back together and it's been fine since. Also I found the fan would always fill up with dirt and grass so I removed it, and I don't think it's actually any warmer than before. It appears to be the exact same model fan as the one in the CC blower. I have also removed the CC blower, as the fan has packed up in it also, and I have a feeling it is blocking more air flow than it is promoting it. I haven't tested temps without it yet but I wouldn't be surprised if they go down. All in all I'm very happy with it and it's an awesome buggy just to bash on without worrying about breaking it.
