1/10 Electric Oval

[mickeylam]

Hi Guys,

Thanks you everybody for your feedback so far.

A new question, of those who do not find oval boring, would any of you consider a 1/10 electric Hotrod non contact class. It will be based on this car http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ssis_KIT_.html . The price of a kit is around £60 delivered. Parts are available albeit from Hong Kong warehouse but hopfully if we get a class going then they will stock in UK.
Sutiable 1/10 ABS shells are avaible from Kamtec

The clubs avaible, thats a diffucult one. Most local councils may not embrace the noice of nitro, but maybe happy with electric?

Any feedback appreciated

Mikey, what is it you're trying to do? Are you looking to start a new club, or just a new class?
TBH I think there are probably forums better suited to these type of cars - most here will find any oval class boring after offroad (and even TC).

Hope this doesn't come across as patronizing or offensive as that's not how I mean it.

Not patronizing or offensive. Just trying to promote a form of rc racing that you and others may not be interested in

Good luck - the more people doing RC (of any kind) can only be a good thing

Oval racing is far more interesting than both off road and TC, I've done both and short oval brings up a completely different and difficult challenge, it isn't just about turning right or left (depending what you are racing) it's about over taking other cars on tracks so small there isn't all that much space to do it, unlike on off road and on road circuits

I'd love the challenge of a rear wheel drive short oval car in 1/10th

How difficult it is to drive will only depend on how quick you want it to go, smaller batteries and slower motor and they would still be good but drivable

I'd love the chance to race these
