Hi Guys, im looking at doing the FORCC winter series so need to get my backside into gear and order some stuff.

I will be posting a few questions in this thread over the next few weeks and anyhelp would be awesome.

Sweet, cheers dude, :thumbsup:

now all i gotta do is find an ESC that will go with it? any ideas?

[NeilD]

If you don't want to spend a fortune. But be aware of it's motor limit, 12.5 turns.

i dont really want to spend alot, iv got £100 to spend on a motor and ESC, so ......

but that ESC is for max 12.5t motor so surely that wont be any good will it?:confused:

It'll be ok for the 13.5 you will be running however you can't put a quicker motor in. Unfortunately the prices start to go up quite a lot for LRP speedo's. Have a look in the for sale section on here.

I don't know anything about them mate. A few people on here have got them and said they are ok but as another member said you won't get any warranty with them so if they become faulty you won't have any backup.
