Hi

Just thought I'd drop a line. Recently bought a LRP s10 Blast bx. Also have a LRP Twister which I think I'm going to sell soon. The Blast is running a 5.5 turn ezrun motor. Currently acquiring some lipos for it. I meet up with a couple mates to go bashing at some off road bmx circuits, where we live in Somerset. Thinking about visiting local circuits where possible, think Plymouth and Weston are the nearest options.

None of us have been driving more than ten minutes and seem to spend more time fixing the cars than driving them!!!

Any advice on circuits/bashing or cars in general would be great.

Ta

A quick pro-tip if you will: What do you stick your esc, receiver etc to your chassis with? Tried a no more nails adhesive pad, which wasn't cheap and looked like it would do the job but was shaken free after one bashing session.

I just use double sided ESC mounting tape, and it all sits fine and doesn't move about in the car. Something like this is what you want:

You then just cut it to the size required.
