Great customer service
Just thought I would let you know about the great customer service I have received from Apex Models and HPI Warranty.
2 months or so ago I purchased an HPI Pulse (love the car to bits) From Apex. Last week however the engine let go, the con rod snapped (lucky for me it was at the end of the day). So Monday morning I went into Apex explained what happed, they diagnosed the fault, sent the engine to HPI, they confirmed the fault and are replacing the engine. So all thing being equal I should have my car running tomorrow. A 5 day turnaround cant say better than that. Thanks guys  Ian

Fantastic.
If we managed to make a holder for two controllers you could have a race with yourself!!! I'm trying to get the future Mrs. Chitty interested in buying me a Short Course kit. Thinking about going for an electric one this time because the brushless technology is getting really interesting. Be good to see how it would compare speed wise up against a nitro.

Funny you say that as Ian keeps saying who is going to get one and they are reasonably priced, I might join you there after seeing yours, if I get enough time over the weekend I have bought a brushless 1/10 buggy, just needs a little work just in case the Pulse is not ready

electrirc acelerate as quick or quicker than some nitros,nitros have higher top speed,and once again it comes down to money,ie a 1300kw 22v lipo pack will go as fast as a nitro but at a cost of £250 for a good motor and how much do you spend on your esc up £60 to £150 or more.you can get a good rb engine and pipe for £165,a few of my friends have 1/8th electrics there just as fast as good as nitro,though heat can be a issue due to down gearing electrics motors for better speed

That goes some.
You know we'll all be quite livid if its that much faster than a nitro!!! It would be interesting to race an electric but I know there's the issue of battery life. It would be a pig if you were winning but lost battery power on the last lap. Someone needs to come up with a car design where the battery can be changed in a big hurry. My old 1/14 Nikko Subaru has a great system of changing batteries with a new pack sliding in to a slot under the car. It would be a great design for racing.
