Gutted about having to leave early cos my Yokomo was flying today - it seems Schumacher Greens go better than yellows!
Truck class looking a bit too serious these days - lots of 4wd SCT's going round.....

Yes, me and one of my lads are among the few running 2wd SCT, and he didn't bother coming today. Maybe we should call ourselves Team Peasant ?

Still had a good day though. Getting my SC10 dialled in bit by bit so might start giving them four by fours a run for their money some day.

Gonna have to see these Durango trucks. Can they survive a full speed hit from a 6.5lb Losi?

I was gutted today!

The car was going great all day!, I managed to put it First in the "A"
but the lead was short lived, then the car died.

I think it was water. I tried it again when i got home and it was all fine??

Default today's racing.

Had a good day racing my SC10 for the first time. Managed $th place in all qualifying. Me and my lad had to leave early for a family thing so missed the finals. sorry we couldn't be thier to help pack up but will stay next time. A QUICK QUESTION OR PONDER. Are those Durango SC trucks really classed as SC trucks or shpuld they be classed as durango's on steriods, unfair handling and weight advantage over 2wd trucks ???

one tip dont reverse the polarity to a hobbywing esc there reverse protection doesnt work. they just smoke and run a lot slower :-( arwell back to brushed for a bit.
the blast handle really well in the first race (and only) the carbon top deck made a big difference

i dont think the esc was good right from the start really after a few races it just seemed to overheat no matter what setup i run changed pinions and programs on the esc but it just kept cutting out so saving up time now get a better one

i think its pot luck with the hobbywings if they work or not, and my lucky dip was not a good one, as budfish put "bite the bullet". im just gonna run brushed got a few motors left all good plus i have a lathe to keep em well gives me time to get a better esc i know people have different opinions on which are better so ill do some research on some of the good ones the lrp is in there along with the castles but mtroniks has always done me well on brushed are they good with brushless.

I`m sure there is an Lrp in the for sale section at £75.I would say Lrp or Novak I wouldn`t bother with mtronik.I`m getting an Lrp ok i`ve no car to put it in as yet but pretty soon i will have!!
