[quote=colmo;234378]We should encourage Warren to have a few sets of soft springs handy for any newbie needing them - it would have made my life easier! I'll hopefully be sorted for springs by next week, both buggy and TC.
True about the throttle control - I'l freely admit to being trigger happy.
I think the two major issue with RC in NI are expense, and indoor space. Ideally, the best class to suit these requirements would be something slower and/or smaller - 1/10th minis or 1/18th scale (like a Sacker Sport, Trinity Itsy Bitsy or Maverick Atom) would be two possible solutions - cost of entry is below £100 (maybe a little more for minis?), and sundries are dirt cheap. It would also serve as a feeder class for some, who then want to go up to 1/10th with the big boys.[/quote
i think for expense we havnt had it so good!nosram have great spec motors for 32quid.nosram are effectively lrp.and thats brushless! you would pay that for a stock spec brushed motor 12 years ago.with the old motors came lots of maintenance,changing of brushes and skimming motors.batteries,one lipo is all you will need for a seasons racing.i can remember paying for 5 packs of ni cds 50pounds each and you were lucky to get a season out of them before they went off,and that was paying 150pounds for a good charger and discharger for them.any new sport you go into will have an initial outlay.buggy rtr cars are £180 for a b4.but you can get started with quality kit from oople or e-bay for much less.most buggies are also quite a bit cheaper than touring cars.unless tc is really your thing i think all things considered buggies are more affordable way into the sport.
