New 1/14 car

[MrUnlimited]

Found the following link with 1/14 car http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SWK1450
Look interesting to compete against the Charisma. Maybe a new class? Maybe , the 1/12 touring cars by Yokomo and XRay didn't make it to a seperate class but who knows.

Now this is what i really want for Xmas.........that sucker is just nice. This is surely on my list.

[m18_racer]

how many cells would you throw at it?

[alfred]

i would throw in 6cells and a mod motor........should handle well.....http://www.horizonhobby.com/Articles/Article.aspx?ArticleID=1619 dang guys it even has a slipper clutch.......now i really want one and it also seems to take different battery configurations which is also nice.

[m18_racer]

damn! there is always things throwing me off my course. should i get this or hop-up the m18:confused: i wonder if it would be to much for my mamba. seeing how it is a 180 brushless

[alfred]

Seriously it would be up too you man...you need to decide that for yourself.:D You also have to remember that the M18 has been out for awhile now.

[m18_racer]

i know... did you see that site that showed the LE's stuff? :D I might get this for xmas. have fun racing my friends savage which would get smoked from my m18. he put alooooooootttt of money in that crap.

[alfred]

you might want to post that in the M18 section......so that way more members will have a look see......and after its posted there i need to delete your post...lol:p

I think an AON4900 or BPP Wraith 7K should fit wth 11.1V lipo pack. Also the Align 4050KV with large pinion and 11.1V Lipo should make it to a fast fun ride:D

I wish you had never found this link.......because i had a hard time sleeping last night, all i could think about is how i would do the electronics placement.lol:p

[MrUnlimited]

Sorry Alfred,

No sleep? C'mon don't you get those spammails with prescriptions for the ultimate pills and other medicines:D?
Wait until Tamiya has decided to bring their Avante or Egress on the market in the Tamtech series. Now that will give me sleepless nights!:rolleyes:

[alfred]

Its bad enough that im always looking at the link, but its also bad when im drooling over the pics as well.:D

Seems like these are availible now. I had gotten out of RC but this thing might bring me back. I got a chance to see it at the LHS last night and it looks quality.

[derbi75]

LHS has one now. Brushless kit would be nice addition. Picking up my 1st rs4 micro tomorrow. I think one of those 540 conversion kits might be nice.
I will get some video of that E-Racer tonight for they are tesing a class for them at our track.
Love the site by the way

The local carpet track where I race started a spec class for this car. The only thing that can be changed is the receiver, ESC, servo and batteries . Although no one has changed the servo as the stock one seems to work well. There are 5 guys racing them now, me and probably 2 more will start this Saturday. So far they have turned out to be a very reliable car except for a couple of brush problems in the motors. The stock radio even works well if you can put up with 27 Mghz. The car is not blazing fast, like a 1/10 TC, but under these rules it makes for some very close racing. Here is a speed comparison. Our best hot shoe driver in a 1/10 TC with a 12 turn something-or-other has run 99 laps in 5 mins. at our track. Our best Recoil has turned 60 laps.:eek:
