No such thing as light weight jap wheels... Unless they're foamies ...lol

Bubba you have a few track to choose from:

- Baywater on moojebing Street on Sunday morning

I could walk there! I know they used to do nitro onroad a while ago but got shut down or something.. didn't know there was drifting there

Is it competetive or are n00bs tolerated? it's not on PVC/ABS is it? I built this rig to torch rubber

[kawasakirider]

Does anyone have a savage flux they'd trade for a sick 1/8 truggy set up? If you're interested, let me know.

Sorry Bubba, no drift just pure "proper" racing. I am not a drifter by no means, but any of the racers at a competitive level give em a set of slicks/pvc and about 2 laps to warm up and they are as good as anyone.

Have had a bash before with some drift tyres and picked it up pretty easy...... then went back to racing :-) i didnt feel the same adrenaline as the speeds that are achieved in racing.

just an fyi, you were right, bayswater used to run nitro on the cement and electric on the clay track next to it. Local residents went to bayswater council regarding the noise of the nitro and therefor where not not allowed to race, so electric has now come along and the lap times they are getting is unbeleivable.

At the recent nationals 104km/h was clocked down that 35 metre straight. unbeleivable!

104ks is CRAZY! Assuming it was running in modified, what running gear did it have?

[25GTT]

Brushless mod. Guy called Toby was driving it, he didn't place to well though overall but was definitely one of the fastest down the straight.

Lrp modified brushless I think it was

Would have been an X-ray I'm sure, most of the top racers here in wa run the X-rays with parts readily available

[SlidingAlex]

Any idea on KV/Turn rating?

[25GTT]

Turn related more to brushed motors, now with brushless turns are rated a little different, 3.5 brushless Lrp if memory serves me correct what you would be after but in no way should it be put in a tt01.

Google feral batteries, have good prices on the motors and li-pos you would need to get to that speed. You would also need an electronic speed controller esc for short to power it

[25GTT]

FYI, motor would have been something along the lines of this:

ESC would have been something along the lines of this:

http://www.teamtekin.com/r1.html

the tekin ESC really seems to be the most popular one at the moment.

Prob looking at about $400 plus you will need a decent lipo battery ($100) so $500. most importantly though, can you control it?

You will need to ensure all your trimming etc is good, plus make sure you have a spectrum module radio to go with it, you dont want to be going flat tack to have your radio clash with another frequency otherwise BYE BYE car.
