Many thanks! Will check out my local club again.

Hello, I’m getting interested again in 1/10 touring cars after a break of ten years. Sold a Hot Bodies Cyclone which I loved using. But looking at Modelsport website there seems to be a huge lack of variety of touring electric 1/10th scale cars around now. Any reason for this and what cars are now considered the most competitive in terms of chassis, motors, esc, batteries and tyres?

no-one interested?

Hot Bodies Cyclone - Any Moore Championship Edition Hi All, Reluctantly, I am selling my Hot Bodies Cyclone -- the Andy Moore Championship version. The sale comes complete with: Chassis Four sets of wheels and tyres (used condition) Speed Passion Brushless 10.5 Turn motor Speed Passion "Grantourismo" Brushless ESC and ESC program unit (very useful!) Receiver unit (not transmitter) 2 batteries (including a4200 Stick NiMH pack) Few other bits and bobs The underside of the chassis does have some minor scuff marks after I tested the set up on a road for three minutes. I would consider these to be relatively minor. Asking Price for the lot: £190 + £15 courier delivery.

Because it's: 1. Fun 2. Likely to be of interest to people here

A bit bigger Senior Rotax Max .. 30hp

I hold my head in shame: the power lead into the back of the charger was not "in" properly All is fine now! Apologies...

Hi all, My batteries have been left unused for three months, they are Intellect SC TZ Power 4200 ones (non LiPo). I have plugged them into my usual charger to get the cars running again but they are not charging it seems ... even the slow charging light is not operating. The charger seems ok though. Any advice, ideas?

Many thanks -- will take a look.

Hi All, What's the best way to "skim" the motor myself, without buying an expensive lathe or the hassle of going to a model shop? Took my SST out today for the first time with the Tamiya Subaru bodyshell and had massive amounts of fun. There was a temporary hitch in proceedings when the pinion decided to run off the motor, but soon found it and refitted it. One thing though, the motor got VERY hot. It's a Reedy 12T Kr one ... what do you guys use to cool the motor?

I'm sure I saw a video of an ESC running a motor with the ESC completely submerged in a tank of water a few years ago...

Hello ... I have one of these chargers second hand from ebay but it didn't come with any instructions. Would anyone have a link to them or could send me them at all over email ... I'd be very grateful. There's nothing on the Ripmax website unfortunately. Many thanks.

So they cannot be raced in the rain then?

What would I need to do to make my brushless motor waterproof for rain events?

Dude -- superb tutorial!

Is it me or are they a nightmare? I had a strange sound from the one on my Schumacher SST so took it apart to investigate and discovered some of the billions of washers inside had dislodged themselves from their positions and trapped themselves between the magnets and the wound bundle of wires. Any advice to keep modified motors running well with minimum maintenace?
