Well, took the core out to EPR today....4 hours driving, jumping, crashing (including a couple of front enders into the wooden plank at the end of the striaght) and.......no breakages :thumbsup:

Cracked the bodyshell tho - serve me right for forgetting the gaffer tape trick, but on the whole impressed with the CORE, and considering was using the stock (bald as hell) tyres on astro, it handled very well.

Will be even better when the Kourse kings come and are mounted :thumbsup:

All good then Matt......what motor did you end up running then??

I still haven't ordered my brushless yet but I have decided to go 9t so its either of these:

ezrun, etronix photon or Castle sidewinder SC ......bit concerned about ezrun fakes........

Went for the EZrun 9t :thumbsup: Plenty of power, mind you my old man used the ansmann for most the session.....on 50% throttle.....he's still learning :D

Got the set up on the bat at the mo, and looking to replace existing set up for either a ezrun 60amp/8.5t combo or giving the hobbywing sc10 a go - prob with an 8.5t as well.

May be wrong, but I think the CC SW is more designed for a 4x4 SCT, so could be a tad too much for our lighter than light trucks :lol:

Am thinking of that combo for me Slash 4x4 tho :D

evening....slight change of subject but I have the chance of bagging a Hong Nor SCRT 10......quite interested in a 4x4....have you raced against or heard good/bad things about them?? cheers

Used to have one a while back, normally quite a good tough car - one I got 2nd hand had been front ended :mad: So when I had an impact it died :cry:

Quite a heavy truck in comparison, but nonetheless was a very good one :thumbsup:

Comparing it to the Slash 4x4 I have now, I think the Hong Nor is defo the more solid of the two - what kind price could you get it for?

Would it come as a roller or RTR, as you'd need a bigger badder motor/combo to power it, I nearly killed my novak combo that I used in mine.

Hi Matt,

it would be a swap for my dear old Rush Evo.......the Hong Nor is a roller with 2x lipos and charger included.....it has a spare set of wheels and tyres too so a good deal....but I was aware of the weight....seems it needs a 550....all the guys in America running them go bigger than 540......I haven't got the funds to get the correct electrics for it........

As all things tho it is poss tho to get the electrics 2nd hand ....I've just picked up a fusion exceed 4.5t 550size combo with programming card for a smidge under £75 posted :thumbsup:

Age old sell something to buy something ;)

In the long run tho - do the swap then at least you have the roller ready for when you have the funds innit :D
