Hi Stuart,

It was me that responded to your emails you sent to the club, sorry I couldn't be there last night but I had a long standing engagement.

To try and help...

I remember only bring able to do half a lap practise then worrying in the 4th minute when leading I was going to dump any second.
Never really a problem these days - at our track the average race is about 10 - 16 laps dependent upon layout etc in 5 minutes and lipos are good for about 20 - 28 laps before dumping, maybe more so it's never an issue. Even the shorty style ones.

Any suggestions on fair good entry level electrics.
I'm not the best to advise on this but I'd say the speed passion brand is a good place to start (motor is c. £30 IIRC), just be careful that you don't "buy cheap, buy twice"

Quote:
What motor to get, turn and make. What maintenance do you have to do to them.
Lots of brands out there - I'd say stay away at these early days from LRP ones as they are animals, speed passion are fine on a budget and then ones from REDS or Orion are good

Quote:
Do you get the programme card with the speedo?
Depends on the manufacturer, most of them you do, Orion you don't usually though this may have changed recently.
