after using and blowing up various ecs which were
losi xceliron. can be ok but i would say generally STAY AWAY and if ya do get one dont mess with it on pc
novak gtb . simaler but better than losi ....just
fusion exceed . good combo for the price . but generally reliable. ok to start. good motors for sure
lrp sxx/ sxx tc spec . best speedos i ever used good punch good brakes. mint .
novak hv system . truck went well with this. but shorted switch and capacitior after a crash . not fixed yet but will be doing at some point
novak havock pro and ballistic motor. seems ok runs cool and very smooth . only got it last week so still tinkering with set up but seems pretty good .
overall i like lrp the best . but everything apart from the losi has served me pretty well in general
see ya sunday boys
trucks fixed and ready for battle ......... hahahahahahaahahahahahahaha

Wont be running at all if my new shock tower doesnt arrive in the morning...

It *should* do though.

Also, weather forecast is a bit crappy for this Sunday, particularly bad for SCT's where the wheels are inside the shell, throwing spray right at the ESC and receiver.

"Truth be told if Tishers running a T4 trucks is pretty much wound up already - it will be tough to beat that. Stadiums are slightly shorter, have fatter wheels and bodies that don't parachute meaning they are a little quicker than SCT's on our track. In effect a T4 is an SC10 optimised for a tight, grippy track! "

yep just shows what he knows

the thing is a nightmare to jump and steer I should be able to get it a better when i get some tyres that are not for dirt yours was flying mate. It did make a difference when I changed it to the shock setting you suggested

I did not do to bad tho considering its only running a 10.5 and It was the first time I had ever drove a wheel anyway us lot had the best fun and thats what its about

Howler · #67 05-08-2011

Yeah, you were definitely getting faster with it each drive, last heat and the final it was tough catching you.

tisher · #68 05-08-2011

one of the best bits was when you jumped over the top of me whilst I was in the air that would have looked nuts if it was recorded

Cr3Ad · #69 05-08-2011

if it was in the final when it happened theres every chance it may have been recorded

tisher · #70 05-08-2011

not sure if it was in the heats

was cool tho thats the only problem with the truggy it flips if you try to jumps long so was only quarter throttle to land them

You hadn't brought out your 4x4 truck then, and the SC10 4x4 wasn't running properly the week before either. In fact, last Sunday pretty much bore me out, but with the exception of the 4wd trucks. You two with your 4wd SCT's were way out in front - then Tish and I with the Stadiums, off your pace but will ahead of the 2wd SCT's. In fact its like we had three different classes in one heat!

Tish - I've got a spare set of rear yellow minispikes but I've not certain they'll fit your T4 as my axles are slightly larger than latter models. No where has the rears in stock.
You don't want a mega motor in a truck - I've tried 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 9 and 10.5t now, and prefer the 10.5 in unboosted format. Anything else is just a wheelie fest!

Also folks you might want to let Johnny win. If he can't win with his current setup he is threatening to fit the Castle 1/8th system from his Vorza into his truck and race with 6S lipos!!!!!!
