I like the paint job dude, good to see someone who worked with the HPI purple rather than trying to escape it. I think it looks sweet! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif)

It's my first RC car/truck. Space is limited in London, so I had to go small (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) It's 1/18 scale.
Thinking of getting a buggy, but not sure what scale would be good. I want something fast on grass!! This post has been edited by jonco: Jun 23 2008, 03:28 PM |

well it all comes down to how hard you want to bash your buggy.
1/8 for big air or 1/5 for bit less but they are becoming more popular. -------------------- *kyosho 777 with *fg marder with 29cc ddm billet engine with a 2mm stuffed crank, x-can, alloy front arms, dechocked carb, k&n with outwears, alloy shocks on rear, alloy engine mounts, siren and light kit. *tamiya mini mo3 all alloyed up ect , looks the tits. ;) |

I want to bash it quite hard i.e. it must still run well after a 5m high jump (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Do you know of any that can do that? And it's got to be fassst > 60mph !! |

i think the best buggys are hobao hyper 8, they are good at jumping and you can bash them hard, but they wont do 60mph probably about 45mph tops

Have you considered something electric? It maybe worth looking into if you are bashing in and around london as the noise can be a problem if you are near houses.
Losi and Traxxas have both just released some new models that have a brushless/LiPo set-up which will do around 60+mph depending on what battery you go for. click here! -------------------- |

Losi and Traxxas have both just released some new models that have a brushless/LiPo set-up which will do around 60+mph depending on what battery you go for. click here! What I've read about electric is that you only get 10 to 15 mins play time, and then it's back home to charge the batteries. I could have multiple battery packs, and just switch them. Assuming 15mins runtime, I will need to get 10 battery packs for 2.5 hours of fun. Charging them will take 7.5 hours assuming a 45min fast charge, and you've got to be around to switch the battery packs in the charger. With nitro, runtime isn't great either. I get around 5mins runtime with 30mL of fuel. For 2.5 hours of fun, I'll need 0.9 litres. After that I take the truck home and clean it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But nitro is very noisy, so I'm looking to get a piece of land converted to a race track not too close to residential areas. But in terms of speed, electric is getting faster than nitro these days. |

I assume its the london area, in which case depends which part. If you're North/East then I know the Essex Bashers are out regularly & have some decent sites. The london guys meet up in Crystal Palace (http://www.rc-extreme.co.uk/forum/Crystal-Palace-Bash-t6754.html) & there's not much activity on here from the Berkshire guys, but if you are south/west the southampton guys take a trip up to Basingstoke once a month (This Sunday) where there's a real good spot. -------------------- HN CRT Pro, LRP z28 r -
