6.5 is my vote tipp, 4.5 in a 2wd slash will only make your lap times slower due to wheel spin

tipperjackson

ok, one for the 6.5. anyone else give me some feed back, I'm on the bubble as to which way to go......

2 years ago, I ran the buggy tires on mod slash, it caused more problems than it was worth trying to figure out, blown out bearings adaptor pins comming out, broken hubs, stuff like that. Besided the new short coarse tires, are basically the same as the buggy tires where 2 years ago, and you don't have to worry about your suspension geometry.

Well looks like I have some fab work to do and get my geometry set.

i know its not on the list, but for a mod i would run 10.5 to 8.5 for a 2wd vehicle and the 4.5 or 6.5 4wd. personally.

ill be running the exotech xxxt-cr-sct as mod. 10.5

and the xxx sct in the stock class. at the big K

No, Adam did'nt get back with me, so I only assume he was'nt interested in doing a trade. Probably too fast for me anyways, just don't have the reflexes to keep up with those little monsters.....LOL!

Well then, it looks like GNS just gave away his little secret as to what was in the mail. Can't wait to see that thing in person, I bet it's lighter and probably stronger than the conversion kit.

tipperjackson
01-08-2011, 10:27 AM
And buy the way GNS, if your running the 10.5 in that light weight little XXXT cr sct, then I know I'll have to run atleast a 6.5 to keep up with you with that overweight slash of mine....LOL!

01-08-2011, 10:38 AM

saw that to, and they are currently working on the 4x4 1/10 electric buggy

jbod
01-08-2011, 12:37 PM
The 22 looks like a killer ride. If it handles as good as expected and the class gets bigger, might have to get one.

on the losi forums, they say that class is dead out west. i think they would be a good novice class.

LOL....i also read that nitro is slowly crawling back. electric has priced themselves to the grave.:), atleast 1/8 scale, 1/10 scale electric will always be on top.

Twitchy, speeds like a rocket, most unforgiving RC I have ever drove.. One slight bump of the wheel and your buggy will twist in the air :thumbsup: Oh its fun.. But I dont know if its for a novice.

Its the largest class running weekly at PVG last time I heard. :)

01-08-2011, 02:59 PM
all electric cars are good for novice....LOL, just plug and play!
