I drove chris's and it was really fun, feels "1/8 SCALE" and handles really good. Seemed alot easier to drive than the 1/10 scales

that thing is sick


The worst dirtbiker is always one step ahead of even the best quad rider....
Racing from a roll is like beating off, it may be fun but its not the real thing.

saturday sounds good.. what time? 11am? just practice correct? I've yet to make the trip to LHR, so not really sure what to expect. I just finished some last minute mods on the car during my lunch break (at work now), and all I've got left is to paint the body, and charge the packs.

that is an 1/8 on-road nitro converted to elec. Nick is good for doing that. Then he propells them to 60mph+ in about 2 seconds with whatever sick ass BL system he has for the moment...haha

haha thanks for all the positive feedback guys.
it's an XR8 conversion. http://www.happytimehobby.com/cars/xr8/

there's an ongoing thread on the project here: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3489

motor's a Neu 1512/2.5d (2000kv, 2500 peak watts (~3.25HP))
the plan was to have lipos by now, but I found a good deal on an older iBook, and couldn't pass it up, so I won't have lipo's for another month or so.

what cars are you guys running? Landmax's and the like?
when will racing season start next year, and any chance for me to run this thing?
and how early will you guys show up on Saturday? 2 hour drive for me =\
