R46 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Was very good on rcp track (2 tile wide) just had to reduced steering lock via radio an got in some good clean laps Then dropped in 2s cell was too much for such a tight track so went an attacked playground motor woke up an was hauling! Did some jumps too very neutral in air one of landings pulled a lovely wheelie. Gave members of club a feel of buggy an 1s some were moaning not fast enough an when felt 2s talk was where to buy an spares prices lolgt24b with upgrades still cheaper than stock mini z buggy which requires hell of lot of upgrades/££ to be reliable.tyre compound seems to be soft as worn some, be stocking up on both shore tyres available. Yet to try my losi truggy wheels fitment looks same shall try soon.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Totally worn out the tyres on mine and I've only put a couple of packs (2S) through it. For a race car I'd be fine with that but the way it's sold this is more of a fun car. They do sell a harder version of the tyres but I'd like to see more patterns too. I like the look of the upgrades but I doubt I'll bother as there is nowhere local to race it. Mine gets run on our 1/10th track and it does that fine out of the box (with 2S).

jehosophat Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Looks good - I need to look into upgrade prices. I was considering a brushless Mini Z buggy, or upgrading the current one, but it's fiddly to work on and not that reliable. Even imported, the brushless Mini Z buggy is very expensive as well, and needs a lot of upgrades - it does not even come with wheels ! That Carisma looks simpler and the price is good, not much more than half the Mini Z chassis price, for a full RTR kit.

Serapth Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Is there anything to be gained from the metal pinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Not especially, because the plastic ones don't seem that prone to breaking or wearing out in. I think the slipper helps in that respect. Normally plastic pinions are pretty unreliable so I get why R46 just went straight to the metal ones but it doesn't seem to be that vital. When one of my plastic ones dies I'll upgrade but not before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serapth Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks for the info, have upgraded most of the bits that are available on mine. Havent gone as far as the 12000 motor..it flies with 2s as it is. Just got some white wheels the other day, looks a lot better in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
