The races are 5 mins so you'll have no problem with duration. Don't worry about spending all your money on upgrades just come and race.

If you see one of my earlier posts i said don't worry about upgrades just race.

[stampede vxlboy]

the car drive crap with crap shocks on it . i need it done right before i take it to the track

If you want to race it is always a good idea to concentrate on one car. If you have a B4 already don't worry about upgrading it before you have raced it. Even the RS versions don't need much doing to them to make them really good for club racing.

What do you need 6 packs of lipos for??? 3 is plenty to get you through most races. Much better to invest in tyres and track time if you want to get into racing than blinging out the cars to the max before starting racing.

If you want to use the MadRat just plop the B4 shocks on it and get some lead for it too. Then ask around for some setup help and run it in stock class to get a hang of things first.

As a rule of thumb you can multiply the number of turns on a brushless by two to get the brushed equivalent. i.e. 5.5turn brushless = 10-11turn brushed.

Brushed or brushless doesn't have much to do with feeling the point at which the battery dumps. You have to be really carefull running brushed speedos with lipo as most brushed speedos do not have the lipo cutoff function.

If you run the brushed motors on 11.1V lipos they will most likely just break.

You need help which is easier to give in person rather than on here.

[DaveG28]

I know we're veering off topic but I'd strongly suggest going down and racing with what you have now, let experts at the club then tell you if you need to buy anything like shocks, and if so then fund any purchases by selling some lipo's (can't imagine you need 6, 3 would do easily?)!

[Dazzler]

How about you take it, and the guys there will help you set it up best they can with the car as it is. SPEND NO MORE MONEY! I feel sure they'll do it and get it a whole lot better than you. That's not a dig, just they have the experience that you are yet to have. Money doesn't set the car up well or learn you to drive well, wathching and learning and practicing does.

i said 7.4v lipo mate not 11.1v there for big cars or truck i got loads of trucks i need to sort out which ones i want to keep and sell the rest

[NeilD]

Listen to Dazzler.

[stampede vxlboy]

i have been racing 3 times and did good with my madrat and did better with my tt01

[Dazzler]

The B4 is an excellent car - use that and forget the rest for now.
