Team Magic E4
Apparently this E4 thing is already released - I must have missed that. Anyone have one yet, and what's it like?! I like it just because it looks mad - though I think they should have kept the saddle packs

That looks ace!

It looks ace, but I dunno about that centre belt, so long and so vulnerable....
Good spec though! |
:)Well if they're released here I've missed something, LHS is supposed to be getting me one if they can, but as far as I know it's not even definite that the U.K importer is bringing them in?:)
|
demon has them for the 19th!
|
:)grindog, I'll have to eat my hat, I've just googled the E4 and found Demon listing them for the 19th but also showing in stock. I shall be speaking to my LHS tomorrow!!!:)

I put in a request with mrs.oople - but I don't think she was impressed

Picked up mine yesterday. Built in about 2hrs.
20% of the kit is pre-assembled so it makes things easier. Steering is a pain to assemble with a heap of small washers but other than that, went together very smoothly. Havent had a chance to run it yet. Belts are farily tight so transmissions seems to have a fair amount of friction. I'm sure it will free up once belts wear in. Disappointed the car didnt come with new LX shocks but I guess you cant have everything :D There are some notible changes compared to the prototype kit I have. Lycan |

ooooowwwwww so shiny. I like:D
|
it is that long main belt that bothers me, with the small pulleys and no belt guide....
|
Lycan, you have a prototype also? Car looks good

I think you'll also find that the chassis is around 30mm narrower than any current car, meaning the belt is quite a long way from the body.
I'd suggest that if you got a hit big enough to get in there and damage or move the belt, then that's likely to be the least of your problems ;) |
Similar to a Losi...(well i think so!)
http://www.teamlosi.com/kits/JRXS-TypeR/Core2.jpg but better, I like it!!! |
bit like the losi yeah, but with the XX4 belt concept instead! :)
I wonder if they changed the saddle pack layout to appeal to a wider market, or if it was a performance thing... hmm |

But it isn't an IC car jackass, so it produces power differently, and when you are running up against very efficient belt drives, it will show up ANY drag. |
Woha!
make love guys, not war! :p whether it works well or not, it's definitely cool |
