Christmas Confusion....

[Martin-Barbour]

Well Chirstmas is upon us and I'm trying to decide what to treat myself to.
I'm going to sell a lot of my 1/10th stuff and then add some Christmas Cash in to the pot so will hopefully have about £300 to spend.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?

I'm looking for something a bit more rugged (probably bigger) than the 1/10th buggies I'm used to. Something I can bash about with but take to the track for a laugh as well. Something electric and preferably something I can build myself since that's half the fun....

Maybe a Stadium Truck?
or a Truggy?

Must be a brand with readily available spares. I already have electrics and radio grear, just looking for a fun kit to build over the Christmas break....

And thoughts?

1/8th Buggy with brushless conversion?

If you already have 1/10th off road, then you already have the best buggy for doing this.

There is the 1/8th class electric, and Losi do an almost-RTR which looks fantastic. It isn't cheap, and it isn't recognised as a class yet within the BRCA. Its down to your local 8th club to accept it at there club meeting, or if they allow Nitro only. I have heard a story of a club allowing an electric 8th, which wupped the Nitro's and then the club changed there mind and didn't allow it again.

Stick to 10th for the time being.

Caster electric 8th Very good value

Good find G! I like it.

Where sells them? How much?

[Northy]

Errrr...... available from a good model shop near you!

Er, anyone that deals with Pete from Answer-RC? I know Bolton Model Mart do, not sure who else.

It looks strong and well capable to me. Also takes 2 x 10th lipo packs - so no special expensive packs required

Yep,

That Caster Racing stuff is really interesting, I expect that given a couple more months they may have the electric truggy out which would be REALLY cool....

Thanks for the info.
