LC EMB1 Hardcase lipo options..

[Dazzler]

So I presume all good micro racers are up to date now with hardcase lipo's as per BRCA rules..

What's everyone using? What are the options? Tell me we have a choice!

one option must be to use your mates lipos............

[Dazzler]

I get inundated with options like that because I race with a good bunch - but it seems we have a rule to comply with, and very few options.. kind of like it's a monopoly backed by the BRCA.. I'm sure that's not the case - but finding it hard (there's a pun in there somewhere) to find what we need..

Is it Vampire & Intellect only? Gens Ace disappeared and they don't even reply to questions regarding them..

Micro was a cheap class, enjoyed by the masses, kids too and positively encouraged for the fact you could be racing cheaply.

Anyhow, I'll be racing next week - I'll need a some charged lipo's Wyn! I'll bring my car and radio

lucky I've got some spare packs then...

It's a serious issue you raise though.

especially when there arent any hardcase packs that actually fit your car...... oh and the quality on nimh cells isnt good either, they dont last long before needing to meet the bin

[Dazzler]

Does this class still have a decent following? Only there seems to be very little response, suggestions or discussion regarding what people are using.

Another option just released Dec 2017 - performance unknown though

I've got 4 of the hobbyking hardcase, used them for the first time last night and they are great! Plenty of power when compared to my old nanotech 2.2 ones, ran for about 4 mins practice and 6 min race. They fit straight into the lc but if you have the weight kit in the carisma the front weight needs to be modified, fits perfectly without the weight though, I think a few more members from our club will be buying some to 👍👍

Ahhhhhhh! Why is 1/16 dying!!?? Just when i get one! Lol

I have gotten the intellect hard case lipo (not cheap) but rhey are so cute!!

its not dead in the south west, still going strong at 4 clubs i know of down here, ive just purchased 4 of the ip 2300hv batteries and they work a treat....

a new club opens in the next month or 2 down devon and it is coming on great and will support all off road and on road classes with a big micro following

Telford Hot Trax still has a small but dedicated band of 1/16. Why wouldnt you? fast, virtually indestructible, cheap to repair, easy to race indoors (in the warm & dry).

We race on Wed evenings - we've got a Facebook page I'm told.............
