The motor should be ok. I'd be looking at this lot though rather than turnigy

A few pics of my mate Adey's brand new built H2.

It was very quick last night at Dudley for its first run!

Will be even better once it's been tuned.

Looking good

With regards to the electrics. If you want to run any brca events you will need a motor and lipo that is on the brca list.
I think (some of the) gens ace, intellect and voltz are on the list but don't think turnigy are.
Same with the motors.

I've heard good things about dualsky Escs but not used them myself. HW is also a good option.


Check here for brca lists. Don't think 2013 updates are out yet.

This is true. Although just to be clear, while all clubs must be brca registered, you do not need Brca or roar approved kit for club racing.

It is only required for nationals or an event that specifically states it is required.

The gens ace stick packs are approved I believe. Certainly are roar approved.

I bought my gens ace lipos from giantshark at an amazing price. They also do Esc,s but not much in the motor dept for buggies.
Gens ace come highly recommended and brca legal.

Just had an email telling me there out of stock so I've cancelled my order.

Get the stuff linked above mate, then get a 7.5 hoi flux pro from mb models.

Or give Nathan at Ralls racing a ring and see what he can do for you on everything

hobbywing esc is decent but gaintshark also do a saker which is a copy

£30! defo worth the punt

I have noticed the programme cards haven't been available for a good few weeks+ for those Saker esc's, in case you're looking at getting one.

i thought you can just use the hobbywing? you should be able to change the sw with the usb prog box.

So all my Schumacher shims arrived yesterday.
On the rear hubs you can just squeeze in 2mm in front and 2.5mm behind. It's a little tight be loosens up if you lift and drop the arm a few times. Without the .5 there is a bit more play than I would like.

It does however mean that I now have even more adjustability on the rear hubs.

Do need to look into anodising though as I now have grey shims, pink shocks, orange blocks and motor plate and purple wheel nuts lol

LOL Steve,you cant beat a bit of mix and match anodising :lol:

Oh you can. I may turn everything grey to match the shims

Next item to address is shock pistons, what fits and whether need to change shafts in order to use others

here we go, my first of many no doubt

Well I had my first run with my H2 last night and I have to say I'm well impressed by it even if I did manage to crack one of the steering knuckles in a massive head on collision with another car. I've ordered replacements and the CNC front hub set purely because I fancy trying them. Next on the list of things to get are some softer springs for the back end I think I'm going to try the Hobao ones to see how they perform and some new lipo stick packs to replace my ageing Trakpower ones.

How can you get 3 deg rear toe? The stock is 4 degrees

first run last night. Got to grips with it in practice and lots of changes. Loads on understeer as this thing has so much rear end grip.

first q was a solid b final run. Next 2 were quicker each time and was on mid high A final pace but kept making silly mistakes.

very impressed with the car. On pace with my highly modified Durango and quicker if i had avoided tangles.

will post a setup tomorrow

managed to get it done this morning lol

I'm building my h2 at the moment. Really pressed but a bit confused. What kind of oil should I put in the diff? I kind of hoped they'd include some to start me off. Sorry guys its been years since I built a car and I don't think I've ever built a geared diff.
