a funnier bit is about 6.35:p

steve ive given chris some PVC sheeting to see if he can do some moulding for these covers for when it rains,
ive got loads more in the car that i will bring on sunday for him,top idea i think :thumbsup:

could do with some for our trucks if they work:thumbsup:

yeah mate,i love racing in the rain but the electrics dont,so with any luck chris will come up trumps with his sealed tray idea. :D

did anyone video the 4wd A final?

Cool, i should be able to make small adjustments by warming it with the heatgun attachment on my soldering iron if it needs it.

just finished making a basic mold from ste's template gonna try vacuum form tomorrow see how it comes out

these sheets are very flexible and super strong plus its clear so you can see through it.:thumbsup:

nice,will this one be the prototype :D

yea mainly for test fitting and to make sure it does it intended purpose and i can change it in version 2 get it looking nice and sleek

looking forward to seeing it,MK1 in progress :thumbsup:

from the mold its gonna be the shape of the chassis with straight sides up to clear internals but once i know the shape fits well and minimal water ill chop it down in areas where there are no obstructions

well the car came today and its all built up just need to either order the motor and esc i posted before or pick one up from model sport tomorrow??? hmmm

Go buy one, then you can race on Sunday :)

Er... and sorry for hijacking your thread.

dunno what they have at modelsport thats cheap and good though

From Modelsport?

Well this is very cheap and surprisingly capable in a 2wd car. You'll want to upgrade eventually but it should do you well for some time.

However, sensored systems are better so this which is a little more is worth considering.

Upwards of that you are really into separate esc and motors - in which case this is a good cheap esc, and a cheap sensored motor to match in 7.5t, 9.5t or 10.5t. The motors aren't the best, but they work fine - the esc is as good as you'll ever need for a 2wd.

Well ive just found out that im getting alot of money back from the tax man :D so thats made me happy,

Oh well in that case the best Modelsport offers (in VFM stakes) would be this esc and either this motor or this one.

Thats only a little more than the one I linked before, but its top of the line gear.

well been to modelsport and spent enough money to last me a year! but the batterys i bought are too long ARGH!!!! and the motor doesnt fit properly!!!! :( :@:@:@:@

hi mate,if your not to sure bring down the track tomoz and there are plenty of people who will be all to happy to help, :thumbsup:

you have pm mate

What did you get?

Normal sized stick packs ought to fit - it might just take some wiggling if its the sort where the wires come out the end, and the motor really ought to fit!

the motor does fit but then the wires dont/ they get in the way of the top deck so it dosnt close

i guess it was my fault on the batterys found out there for the e-revo but they knew what i was buying them for? only found out they dont fit after i have solderd deans connectors onto them

what car have you got mate?

Its a Cougar.

Can't you turn the motor so the wires are in a different direction?

i can but then the holes in the motor and the mount dont line up :( might have fixed the motor for now :)

bring ya car tomoro im sure it will get on track . by the way has any one got a spare spectrum reciever i can borrow to run in my truck. cant afford a new one this week but the truck is running
fancy two classes of 4wd mayhem
cheers

I've got so many lipos now I don't know what to do with them, so if all you need is a battery I can lend you one (or possibly two!)
Mine all have tube connectors, but I'm sure someone will have a Deans to tube adapter they can lend you.
Just ask for Si, someone will point me out.

got everything sorted now apart from the damn battery! :@ also the esc wont go into set-up mode when i hold the button down :S

I've just made an deans to tubes adapter so you won't even need to source one of them.
I'm not sure which esc you got so can't say what you need to do on the setup, but bring it along and someone will know......

Thanks Si but i cant get there tomorrow :( have plans with the GF

Turns out that the ESC was broken anyway so they swapped that although its not the purple one, nvm and they also swapped the batterys for me :D it works!! its pritty rapid, wheelies inside on the carpet but pulls to the left when accelerating. now comes the tedious setting up lol

just back your slipper of mate to stop it wheelying,and just copy one of the team drivers setup sheets and go from there:thumbsup:

It doesnt wheelie outside just inside on the carpet :) i dont have any of the tools to set it up with really so ill just be tinkering for now

If it wheelies on carpet it'll probably wheelie on astro too, but that's something you can sort when you bring it to the track. If we do have a practice session on sunday that would be ideal for you.
