I need tough buggies for iRace

[DanB4]

Hi All,

So, long story short - some of you may or may not know that I designed a track in the food court of a shopping centre across here.

A track for electric on road (primarily 10th touring)
An astro track for electric off road (too small for 10th so more like 16th's)
A drift track for maximum 10th scale
A rock crawling arena - this is yet to be built.

I need all your input as the folk running it are very concerned because the cars are breaking ALL the time......they must have gone through 40 cars, no exaggeration.

I recommended they buy a ton of spares, the usual things are always breaking, wishbones, knuckles, hubs. They didn't do it.

Instead, they bought the cheapest crap from China with next to no spares backup. Then they tried Supastox.....too fast.

I'm recommending they get some strong 10th scale off road buggies and run them with brushed mabuchi 540 setups on 4.8 to 6v......it's the general public that are using these rental cars and the only real way i can see to minimise breakages (they accept some will happen) is to limit the top speed of the cars.

Limiting the EPA on the transmitter is no use, the public get wise to that and crank it up.

Are there any 10th electric buggies with 1/8th scale-esque thick wishbones? They need to be tough as nails, forget handling, forget performance, just toughness, spares availability and overall reliability is order of the day here.

All suggestions welcomed!

Cheers,

Dan

The back room (I call it the graveyard).....this was 4 weeks ago, there are a lot more wrecked cars now!
