There seems to be a big following of RC cars on here....(i used to love them when i was younger)....but just got me thinking

Why dont we arrange a Daddy Thrash or a Passion Ford 1/4mile Shoot out or something...or a track race???

i think it would be a right laugh..

 

a scaled down 1/4mile

think most r/c cars on here are 1/10 scale dan

 

tis a good idea and one wher you can drink and drive



















not that I condone that sort of thing.

 

haha was only an idea carl

 

what about us 1/8 boys & mines an Off roader lol

 

Got a 1/10 and a 1/8

Would deffo be a laugh

 

Not sure if you guys realise, but there are dedicated RC tracks all over the UK to test your skills on.

 

Yeah i know that i have been on a couple already, but i wanted to see if people fancied a Passionford event thats all

 

hhmmm... 1/8 .. might have to get a real engine for my evo then

 

I will make sure i dont step on yours eagle like you crush some people on here

 

but will your evo keep up with mine? 1.2hp at 25,000rpm (more than a proper one )

 

sounds like it would be a laugh!?

 

i am looking at a 1/6th with a strimmer engne in it ...

just a bit tooo skint .. however im sure i can sell a few things if i as desperate

 

i could bring mine
1/6th with a modified engine
60mph+

 

I dont have one BUT I'd but one for the event that sounds like fun !

 

This is what you need

I have a 1/8th Kyosha Turbo Burns a very 80s classic Nitro buggy

 

I'll get my mates FG Marder... God what a FUN R/C car


1.6 scale - 26cc/3.9hp


I loved it! Would even love one myself..

 

ill just put in my jukka steenari 8x1 modified motor which revs to over 50000rpm ... just make sure its somewhere flat..

the melbourne loop at Donnington would be perfect if vaughan would let us on (he's let me take mine on before so i dont see why not again)

 

if something like this does happen.. ashby de la zouche would probably be the best track because you can just walk upto up and go on when you like as long as there isnt a brca event on

 

im sure ive seen chavs doing that on iceland car park

 

Yea we normally race shonky old mercs round Morrisons car park...hang on im sure i have seen ya there

 

Nah Snetterton would be the place to go. Best track in the UK.

And your 8 single would be no use against my Novak 3.5 brushless or my Serpent

 

My weapons of choice

 

that'll be Ł20 please

 

nar im more of a marks and spencer kinda guy

 

brushless.. still not quick enough

 

Well i shop in Waitrose my friend and have quite a few famous people within 30seconds walking distance....so chav i am not, my cars yes me no

 

 

 

although waitrose is far too chavvy

 

You've obviously not seen the 3.5 go. Its the equivalent of a 5 or a 6 brushed motor. Unfortunately its still illegal to use

 

Andy moore (world champion) didnt have much trouble beating a brand new brushless system at one of his big races using an 8x1 v2 touring motor with oscar jansen endbell

 

I know who Andy Moore is lol. And as already said, the 3.5 is not legal to use yet. And Andy Moore then went on to beat a Mini, and the rest of Europe using a brushless system.

Its a bit like comparing you driving a Minardi, against Michael Schumacher in his Ferrari.

Hes not world champ because of the motor he uses, and he didnt run an 8 at the worlds now did he.

 

fpmsl

 

this is the car as it came off the track (at the ifmar worlds) notice the 8x1 v2 black can touring motor with oscar jansen endbell

 

PMSL are you serious? I have black can V2 motors ranging from 19t to 6turn. And its not an Oscar Jansen endbell. Its a V2 endbell with the new mini connectors. Oscar Jansen owns Orion so all endbells are his.

 

Take a look here!

http://www.teamorion.com/Products/Motors/Competition

 

check the team orion website and you WILL see its the new oscar jansen edition endbell

it even says the spec of the motor on the orion or hb website somewhere in the older pages from when he wonthe worlds

 

I dont need to check the website. they send me the newsletters when they send my motors.

Andy moore didnt run an Oscar Jansen edition, they only ran the new endbell with the connectors. Its Not a Jansen Endbell, although the new line of Oscar Jansen edition motors do use the same design of endbell.

And turust me, Andy Moore didn't run an 8 at the worlds
