Ah, seems a bit more positive.
When I was saying about stock class the limits were quite strict the defunct Yateley school club used to run a 27T motor and 2C lipo limit and Aldershot has a class with a HPI 15T firebolt motor, both classes would be fairly cost effective to enter and seemed like a good idea for noobies.
On this lipo/brushless thing I didn't want to bring him down and be put into heats with people where he'd be getting in the way of much faster cars, it's annoying for them and disheartening for him. We will probably change and evolve if things progress and invest first in LiPo and then move to brushless but want to start with what we have.
I will try and come down on a Thursday evening and have a look.
Part of the reasoning for this whole racing thing is so my boy can build his own car so he knows how it all goes together (and can follow the manual) so when he needs to adjust and fix it he can and it's not just left to me. I'm sorry to say though £240 (or even more on the Durango DEX) on a Losi 22 bare kit just isn't happening (I have two others vying for money and attention). The main options would be a Team-C TC02Evo on the H2 Pro and the H2 being discounted at the moment to £99 looks very tempting. The online reports from racers running it seem to say the H2 is tough (much like any Hobao/OFNA) and only has a problem with diff O rings which are easily upgraded and front knuckles which were re-designed after the first batch. I will do some more reading though.
Carl.
