silone74 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Had her out for a little run this afternoon and the tyres are not gonna last long lol, if your thinking of a motor other than stock then the leopard I have is a perfect choice, on 19t pinion it has a great power from setting off right through to top end, blipping the throttle to keep control made it fun and flipping it a few times just putting the power down, I would love to see how it coped on an indoor track because if the driver was up to it I can see this being a great competitive car with this motor in it.

silone74 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Another crash and the first ever carbon fibre tower I have broken, I have had some big crashes with out breakage and this one was a hard landing directly on the tower. I am a big fan on carbon towers lets hope the newer sos towers can hold up abit better. Edited March 1, 2014 by silone74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocha1305 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 That must have been 1 hell of a crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 It was not a big bad one but it was a heavy landing straight on the tower and a dead stop no slide or roll, I have fitted the alloy tower now until I get a new cf tower but also been tinkering with the mini 8, I will post about that on the mini 8 thread Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silone74 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Trying out a new wing today, I had seen some one on another forum using it so I thought I would give it a go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leestokey Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 What wing is it and did u get the leopard motor from in the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Wing holds up brilliantly for bashing, It would need a racer to see how it goes on a track but at least it doesn't crack at the first sign of a crashs lol, the mini 8 has a new lease of life now the cm26 has been put in it now is the faster of the 3 it is a shame there no longer produced. Just the tyres to replace on my sons today no breakages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karting Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Regarding wings: Have a look at 1:10 scale LMR Lexan wings, there much much much stronger than the kit wings and generally cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silone74 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 I got myself a gtb to to go with my m8 and emb, I still think the emb makes a better car, I have gone for a different motor to stock now although the stock is a cracking motor that has been past to my son for his emb.

.AJ. Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I was considering the GTB, but fancied a kit and never had any issues with my previous EMB-1, also I love the layout, I'm pretty much going to do a carbon copy of my old buggy. Already ordered softer springs and RPM rod ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think lc have put softer springs in the kit over the older ones after people asked sun ben for them, I know my sons had softer springs in his than mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
