Would recommend that you try and come along to our next 'official' Work party/practice day to have a chat and look see what we're using and what's available rather than get into a long and possibly confusing thread on here!
Our next diaried event is Saturday 20 March when we will continue our changes/development of the track but will also have time, later in the day, to have a chat.
Would summarise your thoughts:
Cougar - no release date as yet, may want to think about good second-hand alternatives!
6.5T - NOT in 2WD, most drivers even some of the best, have settled for 7.5T's, geared correctly it would definitely be faster than your old equipment. And definitely NOT 5.5T!
NB - Nothing wring with Losi Xcelorin's, have used them since they came out, running both forwards and in reverse (CR2) to good effect!
LiPo's - Yeah 2 packs will do it, and you don't need the most expensive, largest capacity, highest C rated in a 2WD. Would suggest looking at the BRCA approved list if you want to race at sanctioned events.
2.4GHz - Nothing wrong with it, lots of us using it without ANY problems, it is the way to go, no interference, no crystal clashes, fit and forget!
Steerwheel - plenty of established and new 2,4GHz sets on the market now without breaking the bank.
Chargers - lots of multifunction chargers out there now, lots at reasonable prices.
As a club we are often aware of second-hand items that regulars and members are making available and this is an alternative possibility that you may like to consider.
Hope to see you soon!
