I gave my S2 a run out at the nw regonal at southport today and am very impressed:thumbsup:.
Got 12th in round 1 and 6th in round 2. unfortunatly had some charging issues in rounds 3+4 with my new cells not being cyceled and only got a few laps in each time:mad:. I still poled the B and won it by about 1/2 a lap.
Its so stable and easy to drive. Even when you dont push the car its fast i can definitely see why people have said its as close to 4wd as you can get with a 2wd. Well done to all involved in the design roll on kiddy:thumbsup:

Went really well mate. Not sure on the cells only finisheed building them very late last night. I put 500mah into each pack then equalised them befor charging them. i did have all the packs out on my table after equaliseing them ,so there is a chance i mixed thm up and put the wrong pack in for the 3rd round. But im convinced i put the right pack in for round 4 which according to the charger took 4600 mah and peaked at 9.3 volts. when i put them in the car they woul hardly rev. The pack i used in the final were fine. I am going to charge each pack(leaving the others in my box) and try them in the road tomorrow so i know it defenetly a problem with that pack. Hopefully its me being daft and putting the wrong packs in

Yes but IF i put the right cells in for the 4th round they had took 4600mah which is hardly faulse peaking they would bearly turn the rear wheels
