returning racer

[john333]

Hello everyone, I am returning to the sport (1/10th buggy) after about 12 years out. Have been on the for sale threads looking for some equipment, but as I am a new member on here I don't have a "thread count" yet. (Hence writing this one now! lol)
Just to let moderators etc know I am definitely not a scammer and in desperate need of some racing gear!

Great forum by the way, have been enthralled for days reading!

regards John Jones

John,

always good to see racers coming back to 1/10th offroad. Things have changed a lot haven't they!

I would suggest that a few more details in your profile, at least the vague area of the country you in, would help people feel they can approach you and offer help find kit, clubs and offering advice.

Also might be worth posting a wanted add so people can see what your after. For example I have cars, radios, speed controllers and motors, chargers and cells I am looking to sell in the next few days but can't offer any info to you as I have no idea what your looking for!

If there is anything I can do to help just let me know.

Hope you enjoy your return to the sport and we'll see you racing in the new year.

Thanks for the kind words Roger, i'll update some info on my profile. I fully understand the caution needed on "for sale" forums etc.
Yes things have certainly come on a long way from 12 years ago! but definitely for the better in most cases.
I have purchased a Cat sx2 but so far that's all i've got, so have got an itch in my wallet waiting to be scratched lol

John.

sorry should have said.....i'm looking for 6.5 brushless motor / sensored speedo, 2.4ghz radio (ideally futaba 3vc), lipo charger, servo (to suit cat) and a lipo battery (not sure of the spec needed as yet)

thanks, John

Hi john,

im also popping back to the sport after 10 years away. so about a week ago i was in the same spot as you, and the 1 thing i found very hard to find was a radio. so how much have you put aside for one??? i may beable to help track one down for you.

the best price for a futaba 3vcs new in the UK was a Demon http://demonpowerproducts.co.uk/prod...roducts_id=435

i ended up buying a new 3vcs but to keep cost down i went for a 40mhz which cost me £240 delivered.

I also must say that Oople guys n girls have been very helpfull...
