John H Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) It's actually a 1/5 scale buggy, its the same as this one from Redcat http://www.redcatrac...e-XB-E-Electric Carson data http://www.carson-modelsport.com/de/produkte/automodelle/brushlessmodelle1615/produktdetails.htm?sArtNr=500409012 Edited February 5, 2011 by John H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HootMaRoot Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 after looking at the redcat they only use an EZ run 150a ESC and a 980kv motor, and at a price of only $800 its not to bad but would guess that would have to be upgraded as soon as it goes up in smoke to the new castle system or one of the other 8S+ capable ESC's out there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmst74 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 An MGM compro or Lutach would be a great esc along with a nice big lehner motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 125A esc and 6S in a 5th scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Look at the chassis, it doesn't have a lot of metal in it (top and botton decks, towers and thats it). Its not going to weigh that much because it was designed to be electric, not a converted petrol chassis. Its more of a scaled up 1/8th buggy. It won't take a lot of power to make it quick.

basher666 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 anybody know who the UK distributer is and when its out. been watching some youtube vids of the redcat version and it looks quick. 40 mph in a 1:5 electric is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HootMaRoot Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 no UK one but there is one in germany hobbythek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I can't see why Carson have downgraded teh ESC from 150A to 125A. I would have thought a 150A would be barely more expensive really, and would offer some other options on motors as well as a bigger margin for safety. Either way..I like the looks of it. Durability will be a question...but no reason to think it will be rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HootMaRoot Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) also they are a bit over price when you compare it to the ones that redcat sell $799 and that is for the one that costs 999euros also the more expencive one has a 150a ESC while the cheaper one has a 80A ESC Edited April 22, 2011 by HootMaRoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
