Second hand is the way to go! I don't think I have ever bought a new car lol.

My advise for what it's worth, don't beat yourself up over what car to get, they all have 4 wheels Just keep your eyes peeled for a good deal. I've been racing the same shed for years, she's an ugly X-6 but she works and goes round the track just as good as any other 2wd.

Unfortunately the 'shed' won't be there this Friday but have fun, we're a friendly bunch. Just don't talk to Rob Bryan - he will convince you to build your own car from nothing but a sheet of carbon, a pritt stick and a never-ending box of yokomo dogfighter bits (love you really rob)

Well, Dave's "trusty" X6 is now in my grubby hands. Busy sorting out the rest of the gear now, but batteries seem to be the hardest things to find at a sensible price. Where do you get yours from?

Cheers all.

Try orion rocket pack lipos or overlander sport track or extreme track.
Sport packs are cheaper and still quite good. Some top drivers use the lower c rating for more control.
I use the rocket packs and they are fantastic for the price. you could buy a couple of packs or buy a big capacity pack and charge it between races.

None of those are listed as being BRCA approved, so I wouldn't be able to use them according to the club rules. Or am I missing something here?

If you're just going to run them on club nights it won't matter mate. It only matters at Regional/National events i think.

As long as they are a hard cased lipo you can use them at the club. The rules page needs updating to be fair, we stuck that on when lipos started appearing as they were an unkown commodity and so we thought it safer to only allow people to use something that was BRCA Approved. Lipos have been safer than a lot of people thought initially.

We have only ever had one lipo fire, and that was at a regional and not caused by the battery itself, but by mechanical failiure of the car.

intellect lipos via ebay are usually a good buy...you would need to wait a couple of weeks though as they come in from HK.
