Hi, I've just bought myself a new RTR brushless B4.1 from Modelsport. :)

I've managed to find some very kind members who sold me a battery and charger for very reasonable amounts, so I should be set to try it out pretty much as soon as I get it.

So, are there any tips I should know or words of wisdom I should seek out before letting rip?

Thanks

:Edited: Just to add this is my first car I'll be working on so wish me luck that I don't break it first time out! lol

Not long since I've had mine, so the two major words of wisdom that I've gleamed.....were RPM front bumper and selecting the correct springs for the track :)

words of wisdon - get it to a club, race it, and get your advice there (as well as here!)

Blue front springs and silver rears should see you right on pretty much any UK track you visit - they will be better suited than the kit springs which are quite soft and aimed at US/Dirt tracks. You might want to check out some tyres which are more suitable for UK tracks too - your LHS (Modelsport) should be able to give you good advice.

Give it a run and let us know how it goes - there are loads of people on here who can help with any questions you have :thumbsup:
