My ARE-2 Speed For Under £200

[littlesten]

Hey i was just wondering what you guys think of my ARE-2 and weather you think its good for its money.

So anyway my ARE-2 currently costs about £150 (including electrics, radio gear ect)

At the moment it hits around Unknown MPH (as i havnt had a chance to test with my new motor)

Weve had a few crashes, including my reciever breaking on me and the car going 70MPH into Gala Bingo wall ... Bumper broke and thats it, such a hardy car!

Currently hasLeopard 2650KV 1/8 Motor, Handles 3x more power than a 1/10 3.5t Brushless. As you can tell i like speed .

Who says best is expensive

My mate says i should post it up on here once its all set up and if you guys would like to see it i would be happy enough to post it on here

Shell is pretty dead, the parts that are missing have been replaced with electrical tape


Current Set Up 70MPH
ARE-2 Kit - £35
Ansmann Racing W5 2.4GHz Combo - £30
HobbyWing 1/8th 150A ESC - £40
NEW - Leopard 2650KV 1/8 Motor - £50
2x 7.4 NIHM Batteries £20 (This is the lowest it will run without cutting out )
(Soon to be 2x 3s LIPO and then 2x 6s LIPO)

Electrics Set Up -
Will be posting pictures soon



awaiting my new metal spur gear, before i can continue with this thread.

Looks like great fun!

The lipos will make a massive difference, I bet it makes a fair old noise as it goes though as the are2's are quite noisy with the stock motor.

I would look at getting a sleeker shell

But most of all let's see a video!

The noise is great, sometimes sounds like an aeroplane taking off, as it drives past, Ill be sure to upload some videos as i'm going out on Sunday so hopefully there should be more pics and a video for you , with my current setup
