Default Leccy 8th - Caster Fusion

Well t'other day I had a parcel come, and it was a Caster Fusion leccy 8th buggy.

Looks awesome! I got it to review for NeoBuggy so will be busy with that over the coming weeks in between work.

Anyone else got/getting one of these?

What esc, motor and lipo's you going for??

Was thinking about one of these when I sell some of the other cars out of the garage.

No idea.

I am hoping to approach some companies and see if I can get some discounted stuff.

Ideally I am going for two TrakPower 5400mAh 2S packs, a Tekin R1 Pro and a Neu 1512.

Jason, PM me if you would like to borrow an R1Pro for the review. I can make sure the latest software is on there for you, they go real well.

Thanks for the kind offer.

I already have a R1 Pro in my CAT SX though (they are the nuts!) but was hoping to get the caster its own esc and put it in an alloy case to help with the cooling due to load of 8th. If worse comes to worse I will just swap my R1 Pro between my CAT and this until something permanent is sorted.

The Tekin Rx8 is not due out in time for my review sadly.

This 8th electric business not cheap, unfortunately

Yep - we had the ESC`s land yesterday for the RTR spec car. It is indeed the HWing 80amp unit. Just waiting for RTR motors to land this next week then I an set a demo car up prior to the RTR cars landing with us.

hobby wing, we got a few running them at the club, not the easiest to set up in the world, and you get what you pay for, with them.

Hobby Wing have a big range of ESCs and make them for quite a few different people that you may not straight away think of as Hobby Wing..

The V1 and V2 monsters were apparantley iffy but the V3 appears to be the biz..(the V1 and V2 were never released in the UK) I saw the Tekin at southport and it thermalled pretty quick, they might be better now though
