returning to rc
I'm think of getting back into rc racing after 15 years. Alot has changed.
Will someone please explain all this brushless stuff. Also will someone please explain lipos? I'm only going to be doing club meets. What controllers and servos are good enough? Any advise is appreciated Cheers |

Getting back into it
Scott tbh it's a lot to tell you. Best to pop down to the club see what we are running and get a proper explanation whist looking at a buggy of today setup.
We race every Thursday evening and alternate Sunday's. We also have practice sessions on alternate Tuesdays. Check out our website www.shrccc.co.uk for info and dates. Best Alex

basically
lipos are better, they give more power, no memory effect and last about 3 times as long from a charge
ESC's, do everything, from a program box, added to that the brushless motor. you no longer need to have more than one motor, one or 2 lipos/batteries. decent charger. much cheaper than the old days, no more worries about dumping. one motor can work on every track. time is now spent on set up rather than power and efficiency. pop to the club, have a chat, pick a car you like. pop along to Apex models in crowthorne and get racing. all the guys will help. its awesome.

Cheers Darren.
I went up there last night. Spent time chatting to Stuart. Cars and electric have changed a lot. I'm going to see if I can hold of a half descent car to use for a meeting to see if I still enjoy it. 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. Any suggestions on fair good entry level electrics. What motor to get, turn and make. What maintenance do you have to do to them. Do you get the programme card with the speedo? Any advice great full Cheers |
