The Tamiya Electric Handy Drill model kit is great for hop-ups that require you to make a hole in your R/C model vehicle chassis, such as many AmPro Engineering hop-ups. However, first you have to build the model kit. Once you do that and use it, you will realize that this tool, which is extremely useful for being a low RPM drill, needs hop-ups of it's own to reach peak performance. We dig into all the details about the Tamiya Electric Handy Drill and it's recommended hop-up options in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast.
