Best to pop down after work tommorow and have a wander round,chat with people and have a look at all the cars there.
The new lipo batteries are amazing compared to the old nimh. You can race all day with two packs and charge them as many times as you wish!
Also with the brushless motors you can put them in your car and virtually forget about them,just oil the bearings and that's about it!.
If you want to pop down on Wednesday night theres usually a few of us there practicing on the astro track and I'm sure someone will let you have a go.
Were there from about 5 when the weathers good.
