lets get a 1/8th electric class going!

Becuase nitro is going to be obsolete so it will weed the hacks out. :p :p

I am looking forward to a little 2wd mod action!!!

YEAH ,,,, right :rolleyes: you are right there are NO hacks in electric... ;)

Ya I know. LOL :p :p

I have been approached about the electric 1/8th scales. If there are 4 of you, you can run during the electric turnout if you choose. I have no problem with that. Thanks for the new thread by the way!! 2 wheel mod sounds good to me too!!

Brushless LiPo is OK for Mod yes?

I hope so!!!

Pretty sure it is but I just want to be double sure before ordering the stuff!!!

Chris

Yep, that is the standard. Just do go too crazy with the motor.

Ryan,
Do you have a problem with the electric 1/8th running with both programs (electric &gas)?

Sweet!!!

Cool thanks Doug.

I am thinking about a couple options. All are Novaks (unless Tekin comes out with their stuff soon......) I have been discussing this stuff with Jason M. a bit and here is what we came up with.

1. Novak XBR with a 8.5 motor (probably with the sintered rotor upgrade)

2. GTB/SS system with a 10.5 motor.

The XBR motors are not as powerful as the others (might be the rotors not sure) so that is why I am thinking the 8.5 with that system.


I can get the XBR system for about $75 less than the GTB/SS system (well with the sintered rotor upgrade it is only about $50 difference).

A possible last option would be the spread spektrum GTB with a 10.5 motor. That option would be the "buy it once and be done with it approach"!

Chris

Hmmmm.

I just did the math and the GTB spread spektrum with either a 10.5 or an 8.5 is only $5 more than the GTB/SS combo!!!

Might have to go that route.....

I will have to research it more.

We just unloaded all are electric stuff so my dad can have a real motor and maybe finish a qualifier this year or another main(he won rc pro race by chance everyone flamed out)

might want to purchase a spare shock for him too incase of breakage....

BETTER TO BUY IT ONCE AND BE SATISFIED WITH YOUR PURCHASE :thumbsup: .

That's how I'va always done stuff so I will probably spend the extra $50 on the better equipment. In the long run the extra $$$ will be worth it.

What do you think for motor? 10.5, 8.5 ?????

I can't buy two motors right now so it will have ot be one or the other. Maybe Santa can bring me a second one!!!! Oh, wait I think he is already bringing me the car as an early Christmas...... Hmmmm......

i ran the 13.5 in 2wheel mod and it was fine. i would say 10.5 should be perfect as that was what i plan on running but i will also get an 8.5. tires are very critical indoor

Where are tires NOT critical?!

I know what you mean though. I am thinking the 10.5 is what I will get. I know with a 2wd buggy too much motor is really hard on lap times!!! Of course I guess that statement is about the same as the tire deal.

I should be a really great learning curve! Can't wait.

2wheel is fun. and everybody is very competitive

2wheel is never a big class though :cry:

It sounds like its going to be big this season.

I run a 10.5 in my buggy on the outdoor tracks and its perfect. I ran the 13.5 last season at jefferson.

looks like it literally smoked the competition :freak:

IN jefferson a 13.5 in buggy be great and like a 10.5 when theres alot of traction ..

Chris,

I ran both the 13.5 & the 8.5 in buggy last year. The lap times were close to the same. The 13.5 was definitely easier to go fast consistently, but the 8.5 was a little more fun! I would say go with the 13.5 overall, but the 10.5 will be really good after you get a handle on it.

Glad to see alot of guys getting back into 2wd this year. It's really competitive and alot of fun!! :thumbsup:

Later!
-Jason M.

Thanks Jason, (and JoJo)

I should be ordering the car tomorrow. Should I have Jr get you one?! LOL!

I am pretty sure I am going to go with the GTB Spread Spektrum and the SS 10.5 motor. It is a price difference of about $53 not too much when you are talking about an investment in better equipment. Not totally sure yet though.

I am thinking the 10.5 because I can only buy one motor for now. So I am going for the "happy medium" motor. Should be tons-o-fun!!!!!

Oh, and what do you mean "after I get a handle on it"!!!! LOL..... Might take a little while to get rid of the "1/8 scale finger"!!!!!

Until next time.

Chris

Chris,
Are you going to run the Kyosho Rb5?

Who Will Be Running 2wheel And 4wheel This Winter

I have heard nothing but good things about the car. I can't wait to see it in person.

Our clan is all about the 2wd action.

I'll also run the electric 8th.

i plan on not runnin truck this season. 2wheel and 4wheel for me :thumbsup: is that Paul guy still racing :confused:

xxxt cr!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81351

Wow! I didn't expect that from Losi.
I might have to sell my stuff and get a new one. Is there a release date yet?

I'm always in for some 2wd Mod..........:thumbsup:

I'll run Stock or Mod 2WD.

The CR Truck will probably end up being a POS. Just get a MF1.

I didn't like my MF1. I have done much better with my MF2.

If 2wd is a real class this year I will get a buggy. I didn't really plan on running truck anyway. I was going to focus on 4wd.

Not sure what you mean by "real" class, but if you mean "are more people going to run this year", I hope so, but then the answer is only if people decide get out there and run.

Get a buggy Doug (thought you already had one?), you will really like it! They are alot of fun to drive. :thumbsup:

Later,

I sold my B4 to get a GTB for my truck. and yes by real I meant more competition. there should be at least two heats.
