new carisma gt14b

[dazza1]

I am currently running a rc18t at my local club I am having fun with it but it does not meet my needs ie its not stable enough and is just to small for my liking.

Over the past few years I have ran 1/10th tourers but they have died out at my local club. They either use micro buggies or mardaves (which i do not like at all). I bought the rc18t thinking i would enjoy racing it but it really does not suit my driving style. I had a go of one of the lads lrp sharks and I just loved it, it had a lot more stability and felt a lot more solid ect.

Now i was thinking of getting the new carisma gt14b but there are 2 things that are putting me off. 1 is the radio gear you get with it. Yes I really do need to upgrade to a 2.4g handset but a steering wheel. I have used stick controls for the past 18 years and a steering wheel transmitter, well it, it feels just so wrong. Just the option of having a stck tranny would of been nice.

2. the saddle packs. I know it comes with a nimh battery but no one uses nimh,s any more really. So I have been searching the internet for weeks to find a decent lipo pack that fits the car but i have come up with nothing that fits the car for under £35. No I am no longer a serious racer and I love just to go to a club for the crack. But i would love to be able to buy a budget lipo pack for this car. Something that i am used to paying, £20 for instance. I know i should be patiant and wait a few months for some more battery packs to come out but I WANT THE CARISMA NOW.

Any way rant over LOL
