The Dark Knight Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Very nice but I'd prefer to race the touring car or truck myself. The local track would probably be good for 1/5 racing, can't see that happening though as due to the area it is in, the club had received noise complaints when they raced nitro. The club only races electric now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayAVFC Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Here is my TLR 8ight 3.0 I have one car ready to race and the other is purely just a spares car. I am currently running an Alpha f850 engine, savox servos, proline shell I have all of the alloy upgrades like hubs, top brace etc but I have been told it makes the car to stiff I am using the doner car as a practice car to get started with and then I have a brand new one for when I go racing at KMRC Thanks for looking Edited February 3, 2015 by JayAVFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyknight Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 that RS5 is a cracking bit of kit. I'd love to have something like that but the lack of somewhere to run it and race it makes it pointless :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
