yeah mate,i love racing in the rain but the electrics dont,so with any luck chris will come up trumps with his sealed tray idea.

[mattb]

[Howler]

Cool, i should be able to make small adjustments by warming it with the heatgun attachment on my soldering iron if it needs it.

looking forward to seeing it,MK1 in progress

[Cr3Ad]

from the mold its gonna be the shape of the chassis with straight sides up to clear internals but once i know the shape fits well and minimal water ill chop it down in areas where there are no obstructions

[Ian_lawton]

well the car came today and its all built up just need to either order the motor and esc i posted before or pick one up from model sport tomorrow??? hmmm

[Howler]

Go buy one, then you can race on Sunday

Er... and sorry for hijacking your thread.

[Ian_lawton]

dunno what they have at modelsport thats cheap and good though

[Si Coe]

From Modelsport?

Well this is very cheap and surprisingly capable in a 2wd car. You'll want to upgrade eventually but it should do you well for some time.

However, sensored systems are better so this which is a little more is worth considering.

Upwards of that you are really into separate esc and motors - in which case this is a good cheap esc, and a cheap sensored motor to match in 7.5t, 9.5t or 10.5t. The motors aren't the best, but they work fine - the esc is as good as you'll ever need for a 2wd.

[Ian_lawton]

Well ive just found out that im getting alot of money back from the tax man so thats made me happy,

Oh well in that case the best Modelsport offers (in VFM stakes) would be this esc and either this motor or this one.

Thats only a little more than the one I linked before, but its top of the line gear.
