I purchased a second hand tc02 evo (US spec) for £70 of ebay, the car is in absolutely imaculate condition and I was very pleased with it when it came. It has a sensorless brushless 12t motor and 60A esc which I assume will get us going.

I have read pages and pages of this great forum and it has made me wonder if I was perhaps a bit hasty in my purchase. I am from Mansfield so there is a great little club 2 streets away from me that is a carpet track, the evo is apparently setup for carpet but everything I have read on these forums suggests that my car is a bit dated and the rear motor setup isn't really suited to running on carpet.

So my question is really where do I go from here:
do I ditch the car and maybe get a durango 210?
do I get the mid motor conversion kit for my car? (anybody know where the best place to get this from?)
If I get the mid motor conversion will my car esentially become a tc02c?

I'm really new to all this so be gentle with me.
First thing to do is get yourself down to the Mansfield track,the guys there will help put you on the right road. There's Muzzie,Richard(Team Pink) and Gareth who all have good experience and they'll be more than helpfull. Plus there's a few drivers that run TeamC cars aswell.


The other thing to do is visit the Mansfield section on here,there you'll be able to chat to the above guys and they'll help you out with some info before you get to the track.

Phill
