Kpowell911 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hi. not made an R/C related post for a while. Me and my friend are looking at potentially picking up a WR8 each. He still has a few R/C bits, But I'd be starting again. For now, I'd use the stock radio, and just pick up 3x 3S lipos and a charger. I noticed the following on Modelsport which looks like it will fit the bill: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/overlander-sport-11.1v-3350mah-25c-lipo-pack/rc-car-products/370002 And this charger http://www.modelsport.co.uk/overlander-lipo-battery-balance-charger-ac-dc-rc-6s-80-watt/rc-car-products/371014 Or is it still worth using Hobbyking for this sort of stuff? Any thing anyone can recommend on there for similar money? Also, onto the car choice..... His main reason for it is he loves Ken Block, and I like HPI so we are kinda combing the 2, Having the same model has its positives too, Im not looking at getting back into this as hardcore as before Ive done a little research, I expected it to be kinda Vorza and 4S-6S Based, but i it appears based on the Bullet Flux, which I had and was fairly happy with, and the 10th Scale electrics would bring costs down. As I say I liked the Bullet, but it wasnt too fast on 2S, but was perfect on 3S. Have the electrics been upgraded to safely run 3S out of the box? Also, there was some issue with driveshafts (I believe it was them) on the bullet, has this been rectified? Whats the WR8 like off road? 1/10th scale Rally cars weren't really upto it IMO, hows the WR8 fair? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaylan Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 as for battery's i would go to hobbyking and get the nano tech's mate cheep and alot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldblades7 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Bullet is awful Guns.....seriously it will fall to bits. Hobbyking is still good for lipos and now have a UK warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcoforever Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 the WR8 gets some fantastic reviews, have a look at jang's review on ultimate rc (youtube) he gives it some proper hammer both on and off road and it takes it all in its stride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateRC Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yeah check out my review ^^ (That was a joke, I am in no way related to or working with Jang, I am purely a fan) The rally car seems to be a lot stronger than the original Bullet. The wheels are smaller so the drive line and shafts dont take as much strain so they hold up. As for the battery shizzle, Hobbyking is the place to go. Good choice on charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I really liked the Bullet for what it was. I was one of the ""Guinea Pigs" on here to buy them when the first came out, on 3S it was a blast but wasnt really that strong, but for a Rally Car that may not be an issue! Ill check out the video, thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
