Just a couple of things
Sorry for being the annoying newbie, just a couple of things 1, who do I pay to become a member and what do I get with it? 2) steering servo upgrade, would it make the car handle better? What's the differnce between one that's says 3kg and 22kg? Sorry again.

The first one is easy - just turn up any Sunday we are racing (like this one) and ask in race control. Failing that ask Birdy on here as he handles membership (and pretty much everything else for that matter).
What does it get you? Well it costs less to race at our meetings is the main thing, but also you get a discount at a number of stores and the code to access our rostrum for practice on non-race days. So it doesn't take a lot to make it worth joining. In servo terms, for 1/10th speed is more important than torque. Admittedly 3kg is a bit low - 8-10kg is fine and you certainly don't need 22kg! What you do want is a speed of around 0.1s or lower, metal gears and digital. |

Your nuts if your planning on putting that 3.5t in your buggy mate :o
Your probably better going the other way and running a 7.5t and cranking that up with your esc should you need to as opposed to using a 3.5t and slowing it down :thumbsup: However if you do put that 3.5t in I want to see it go:lol: |

I'm doing all this now because my Mrs is due in April so want to get all the stuff in place before that. |
Yup, his expression would be priceless, as you zip past him upside down with bits flying off the car. ;)
I've got a 4.5 i put in my 4wd "for a bit of a laugh". Can pop wheelies at will, even at the end of a 20+ m straight........... |

Or get on Hobbykings and get a 120amp esc for about £48 |

4wd I'd say at least 120a. Motors wise I'm not a fan of the speed passion due to the bullet connectors rather than direct soldering onto the motor it's just one more thing to fall off
|
Yeah, i use the SP bullets on road, but offroad i've had them pop off once or twice. Also find giving them a little squeeze helps.
|
I used the Hobbykings 120a esc in my 4wd as a bit of a stop gap and it had a 5.5t motor on the end of it and it performed well. I also agree with the above about the bullet connections on motors, not a fan of them myself and would always prefer a soldered connection as one less thing to worry about :thumbsup:
