wow... I want it so badly

how does hnmc on Saturday sound mate? I wanna see this beast

what have you gone for in the electrical department?

I'd recommend a tenshock x802 at about 1900kv or a sirius 1512 1800kv. When i raced 1/8 leccy the way to go was about 1900kv, 4s and fairly tall gearing. Gives comparable speed to a nitro

[Bart]

We are often at herts track (me and Pablo), saturdays mainly. I got tenshock 812 1900kv sensored on way from far east and 2s`s nanotechs 6000mah hardcase. ESC loved by me - hobbywing 150A. Hopefully by the end of next week everything should be here . Cant wait to get it dirty and

That is one cool looking RC you have there Bart.

The quality of the parts do look the business fella.

Can't wait to see that at the track mate.

I may pop in mate but dont think electrics turn up this week for cobra. May bring HNs but dont think I will race heavy weighted cr or truggy - to short run time. Hepefully when get 1600kv will get that magic 20min run time

Make sure you use the extra shimming guide! By the book, nana techs are the best way to go, 6600, make sure Dremel, or sand the edges of the carbon towers,then cyno glue them so they have no edges on them. And super glue you servo insert in?

Love the buggy

[Bart]

I get extra page with manual , and I did that way, rear one is perfect but front feel tight. But then i read it will be better after few runs.

6600 are out of stock so went for 6000. Servo insert done allready. What i need to do is dremel towers now

Thanks for advice mate

Webbed bladders on way from Elite rc along with ally wing mount washers, 10 and 8 hole conical pistons, springs and few other bits . I think will need order nuts now. Cant stop buying .

Esc I menage to fit in hobbywing 150a and waiting for tenshock sensored 1900kv motor.

I wasn't sure on that colour but actually its come out really good mate xD.

I wasnt sure till I stick shell on buggy . Its allright but in future will get another shell and send it for pro paint
