[Limecat]

Hello everyone.

I have just registered as I am contemplating starting racing my old R/C cars again and am wondering how competitive it could be as everything seems to have gone LiPo/brushless?.

I will get some pictures up later but my main 2, which are both immaculate as I only ever used them indoors on carpet, are my Yokomo YR-F2 special and a very heavily upgraded Kyosho LazerZX-R Mk2 (plus a shed load of brand new still bagged spares). I haven't raced either for probably about 16/17 years?

I have no doubt that the chassis would still be competitive at local level it's just the electronics side of things that I am unsure on?

I understand if going brushless that my old ESC would be neither use nor ornament? I take it my PC-5 (IIRC) charger isn't suited to these LiPo batteries?

Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated, as would ideas on venues in the Stockport area (I have already noticed the sub forum).
Appologies if it is in the wrong section, I felt it was the most applicable section.


As I say, I will get some pictures up this evening.

Kind regards,
Wayne.
