Hey

[Ian_lawton]

maybe its not the right place to be posting this but im about to move to blackburn and am thinking about coming to some of your races and probably joining the club

i used to be into RC a few years ago but have not really been doing anything lately as ive been at university, i do still own a hpi mt2 though

i have noticed that you tend to race mainly 2wd buggies which i love so thats why i picked you, can anybody tell me a good starter? i dont want to come to one of your meetings/races with a rubbish buggy


Thanks Ian

Hey Dude!

We race a good mix of 2WD & 4WD. Most of the newer guys seem to run something like the Ansmann Mad Rat or the Mad Monkey.

In my opinion best starting point is a B4. Its what i started with, They are a very good reliable car. there is a few guys running them at the club.
so there is plenty advice and spares for WHEN you break something haha!

The B4.1 RTR looks ok, and would be ideal as a starting kit. What do you have in the way of electrics?

(damn martin beat me too it!)

Pop up Sunday and look for a White fto, I'll advise you either 2 or 4wd electric buggies, for 2wd your looking at a b4, losi 22 or cougars as for 4wd look at b44, durangos or bmax

Defo join the club as it's probably one of the best astro tracks in the country, like I said pop up see what it's all about, introduce yourself and you will get a feel for how a club meet runs

looking at getting a 2wd electric, think ive fallen for the CF schumacher couger! i know if i bought the one without the CF id always want to be buying the CF bits,

as for electrics, i have no spares and the transmitter for the nitro one is broke so looking at getting new/second hand everything

Im working this sunday so i wont be able to come this week but i think this is my last week

Cougars are real nice bit of kit depends how much experience you have tho b4s are alot easier to dial in

[Ian_lawton]

what motors are the most used at the club and races? brushed or non?

if your going to run 2wd you will need something like a 7.5t brushless and lipo set up
