Thanks for the warm welcome. And a little advice needed.
Hi all
Thanks for the warm welcome on Fri 14th. I was the tall bald bloke that didn't have a clue :-) Opened my eyes to what the sport is all about...... Race fast and have fun!! Anyway what value would you put on these 2 cars? Just thinking if my daughter did take the sport up she would have a car that only needed a controller and I would be set up from the word go. Whilst I know the cars are quality, Im not sure about the quality/value of the electrics and controller. They could be top class.... or not. Thoughts please on how suitable they would be and their value! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131577313883 Cheers Guy |
The b5m as a roller( no electrics) prob looking at £150, the lrp stuff is top notch, the motor is £72 new, ESC £100, savox servos are spot on too. The older car still has decent speed passion gear in it, so I guess he'd want near £300 for both ( depends on his reserve) . Great starting kits tho by the looks of em. Good luck in the auction.
Just check prices on MB models website. Generally Cheapest place to get spares.http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php/ |

I got in touch with the seller and his reserve was £600 for both cars. Out of my league for a 1st time purchase. So ill keep looking and learning.
I realise if I like the hobby I'll need to spend decent cash but the Yorkshire man in me keeps trying to resist!! |

Nah, that's me done now for the summer. Plus I don't have a tent, plus the mrs........... U know the rest lol, so maybe next year?
Had a blast at the regionals ( bit out of my depth at the start) but just gotta learn how not to cack myself when I get in the lead in finals, think the whole rostrum could feel me shaking at Batley lol. |

do you mean this weekend coming (I thought everyone was away at some race?) And more importantly how much would you need to spend to turn a roller into a decent car. what recommendations would people give for decent, reliable electrics. I think I may be liking the look of a wheel/trigger transmitter. Cheers |
Sorry I mean next week as we away this weekend
Hi spoke to Scott he only wants £110 for his b5m As for other bits you can get Battery's hobby king £22 each Motor speedo combo hobby king £50ish for the combo(track star) Lipo charger with leads £20 eBay Servo £20-50 depending what you wanna spend Radio gear not sure if you use sticks or wheel I think something with EPA adjustment etc you can get for around £60 This is the cheapest way Don't buy a Ready to race set you will just have to upgrade Other option is keep an eye and get a full 2nd hand set up off here but poss won't be any cheaper than above |
Are you my long lost Brother from another Mother ? :woot: :D
If you fancy a new buggy kit which will help you in the long run with building and getting to know your buggy then I would have a look at the VBC Firebolt and then buying your electrics separate then you will make more of a difference as you will learn while your doing it......rather than jump in the depend and learn back overs :) Choice is yours, there are bargains all the time on here so keep looking, but if you can try holding off till youve been to 1 or 2 clubs to see what everybody else is running to give you a better idea what to look out for ;) |
