These trucks really rock,i bought a fairly new Slash,fitted a 10.5 brushless system and then raced it at The Nook against the 1/8 nitro guys.What a hoot,OK the very best drivers were elsewhere last weekend but there was stiil a a field of about 15 eighth drivers,i qualified 7th over all,they were so upset they demanded a 30 minute final,i hadn`t actually intended racing,so had no tools,no charger and after doing 2 heats on 1x4800 lipo had only 1 charged battery left.One of the largescale lads put my flat lipo on charge for me [Thanks Mr Haywood].I pitted at about 18 minutes for a fresh lipo and managed to fight my way upto 5th at the end
Best days racing in a long while
With Losi on the edge of releasing one,Kyosho could do one fairly easy from thier nitro version and HPi[HB] must[Should] be looking to produce one also?
It looks to be a fast growing fun class for both newbies and seasoned racers.
I hope it takes off big time and complements 1/10 buggys some proper, friendly organised racing would be superb
