T4 16 - What Electrics?
Hi all
Just purchased a Xray T4 16 and need help choosing electrics. I have decided to run with 13.5t but need help choosing a good ECS+Motor+Battery for the money. My favourite thusfar is the ORCA and ORION products but want to be mindful of the costs. This will be my first onroad car (coming from 8th scale buggy) but every since spending many hours on VRC Pro banging in consistent laps and getting a nice feel for the driving I decided to give onroad driving a go and see what happens. I'll probably be running at WLRC or Aldershot RC both outdoor asphalt. Thanks for any advice. B

Thought i would say hi, I don't have much to offer in help, i have just started with touring cars and have found that the clubs that run close to me do most of there communicating through Facebook, I took most of my electrics out of one of my buggies as they are stronger and faster than you will need to start with, if you have a nice new car its nice to put new electrics in but I am i big fan of second hand,

Biased point of view but I'm running Orca electronics for a while and The current offering is very good and very reliable. Considering I'm running off-road and Orca was defined since the beginning around 1/10th TC I would be very confident to recommend them for off-road.
So far very smooth, easy tuneable and heat buildup is very low plus wire, capacitors, fans are very well priced.

I run Orca VXX, Orca VX3 and Hobbywing Xerun V2.1 in off road and on road chassis.
I wanted an upgrade from the V2.1 so that I could swap from blinks to boosted without the laptop, the V3.1 at the time was £150 and the VXX was £100, with a used programmer it cost me £115 so a fair bit cheaper and all the features i needed. Since picked up another VXX and VX3 and really happy with the ORca stuff but my trusty old V2.1 still runs sweet in my sons TC. The Sky RC/G force electrics gets a good following, I use the G force motors and they seem to be good. Batteries most go for the Turnigy nano's for cost but are not BRCA approved in most cases, Balls out from MB seem reasonable as do intellect and Demon power products own brand

All thanks for you reply and advice.
If I had a dream shopping list, following your suggestions and other reviews, I would go with the following costing just under £400: ORCA VX3 2s ESC ORCA ESC Program Card ORCA INFINITE HV LiPo 7500mAh 7.4V 100C Stick RCA RX3 13.5T Brushless Motor ORCA Adjustable Fan Mount Black ORCA Aluminium Fan 30x30x7mm ORCA Aluminum ESC fan 25 x 10mm Given my budget to be about half that I agree I need to go second hand for now - at least until I have had a few races under my belt. Perhaps I buy the battery new but everything else second hand. I would assume a 2s ESC with a 7500mAh 100C stick to be the norm for 13.5t TC racing? One other question I do have is what you guys do with power source at tracks. WLRC states they dont provide AC power and the car battery is the only other alternative. Any ideas? Thanks B
