Think you wanna get BRCA approved lipos mate i gave terry a very loose brief and i'm really impressed with the overall result. and that's what i meant XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Can't fault Terry's imagination, he's truely got the artists touch. There is a list on the BRCA website of approved lipos, think some Nanos are on there now, the IP I use are, they ain't cheap but well worth the outlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.b Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 That looks very nice mate. What lipo's do you have now? If they are hard case then you should be fine. No one has ever asked to see mine anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has ever asked to see mine anyway. i've got some turnigy 4500mah hardcase 4s lipos. i cannot find a list a of brca approved 4s lipos anywhere only 2s and a pair of 2S would be a very tight fit under my shell lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.b Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) As long as they are hard case then you will be absolutely fine to run at NDOR. I wouldn't worry to much about changing your ESC/motor in a hurry. The 2200kv will be perfect as long as you gear it correctly. Forgot to add that I run a 2100kv in my S-workz and its very well suited to the track. Edited December 20, 2014 by neil.b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to add that I run a 2100kv in my S-workz and its very well suited to the track. i actually have a plan for the castle combo, plus the esc and it's mount are a little tall for the losi in reality and the tekin will give a much much better fit and finish. but i appreciate what your saying, hopefully i will be down early in the new year =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.b Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Its a lot of fun and very addictive. I reckon I have spent about 2k on my buggy's in the last 3 months (Just don't tell the mrs ). :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcoforever Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 well after a trip to mr noj this is all soldered up and ready to go. I have learnt a few things 1. Tekin are immensely smooth 2. tekin are incredibly powerful 3. anyone who says 4S isn't enough for a buggy is wrong 4. Must fit wheelie bar!!! 5. Carbon and tarmac don't mix, hence the return to alloy towers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.b Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 You should be running it on astroturf, not tarmac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil.b Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 You can just turn up. You don't need to be a member. We are open every Saturday and Sunday for practice/bashing apart from race days which is usually the 3rd Sunday of every month. You will most likely want to bring some Schumacher Spirals with you as they are the tyre of choice for damp/wet conditions (which seems to be most of the time lately :/ ). If you don't have any I should be able to lend you a set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It wasn't going to get run on grass, but it did, until run over by the PMT! It is fast. Very, very fast. Brakes on a sixpence, sits on the wing and wheelies down the road. Not soldering another rx8 up in a hurry though, well, not belonging to someone else, lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil.b Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) They are very quick indeed. An Electric buggy currently holds the lap record at NDOR. Edit: And that's on 4s. Edited February 23, 2015 by neil.b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
