RE: ofna ultra lx2e any good???
I run mine with a hobbywing sc8/2700kv motor on 4s. It hauls!! Even with my expo trimmed down its to much. Haven't bashed it much... But its really good around the track. The f/r hinge pin braces are weak though. I upgraded to the king headz aluminum pieces and havent yet a problem yet. For the money its a great kit. Servo im running is an airtronics 94851. Not the fastest.. but it works for $55

RE: Hobbywing SC8/2700kv 4 pole in buggy
Thanks! I got a great deal on an lx2e. $245 shipped for the kit and esc / motor. The kit was brand new to. Can't wait to get it running! Got a reccomendations for a cheap but good steering servo? I looked at savox but I found one on hobby parts similar for like $20. And advice is welcomed

Hobbywing SC8/2700kv 4 pole in buggy
How would this run on 4s? Plan on getting this and an lx2e roller for a decent buck. Heres a [link=http://www.nitrorcx.com/07e-combo-sc-b.html]link[/link] to it. The car comes with the motor, but he would take it out for me. Should i take the deal?

RE: Ofna Lx2e?
How does this look? I have an HPI TF-40 that i can use for a radio. I will just have to pick up an extra receiver. Then batteries and a charger! I couldnt find anything for $265 either.

Ofna Lx2e?
Any opinions about this buggy? Looks pretty nice for $350! My hobby shop carrys parts for the nitro lx2 so im assuming most generic parts and will work. I have NO electric gear. So i need a charger and batterys. I looked at gens ace and i think thats my best option. Im not looking to break the bank. Id really like a kit, but even then i would still get into the $600 mark. All I would do to the buggy would be a new body, and some track tires. Does anyone have this buggy? Or experience?

RE: Kyosho Inferno Neo st vs what?
[quote]ORIGINAL: cummins driver Id say the kyosho is a good truck, especially for bashing. It seems like the engine it comes with is pretty strong. I do have some things i dont like about kyosho though. They have some race winning designs, but it seems like they discontinue things fairly often and i dont like some of their ''traits''. Things like phillips screws everywhere, little dinky steering linkages (from servo to bellcrank), non standard engine mount (think they finally did away with this though), and the fact that parts support seems to not be real good except for online(which isnt really an issue these days). Im also not a fan of the plastic shocks, even though they probably work fine. I will say from what i have seen of the inferno neo st, I like it. I like the body too. If you are just club racing and bashing and not real serious, the inferno neo st will probably do great since its based on a pretty proven design. If you are wanting to be pretty serious about it, you may want to look into a good used truggy. If you keep your eye out in the rctech classifieds, you can find a good used rc8t, 8ight-t, Hot Bodies D8T or something similar for $100-150. However, you will still end up with $450 for the used one with more race grade parts. Basically either option will work fine. You just have to decide if you want to get a RTR truck new in the box on your doorstep, or if you want to buy a more race oriented roller and piece it together. [/quote] Yeah if i were to race it, it would just be locally at my hobby shop which isnt to big. Im not a serious race.. yet. I also agree the plastic shocks would probably work fine, but its always nice to have aluminum [:)] Ill look into the engine mount deal. And i actually was looking through that thread! I think there was a post right before i made this that was also about something similar to what i am asking. Ill keep looking around and let you know what i discover!

Kyosho Inferno Neo st vs what?
Looking at getting back into nitro trucks (took a two year break... worked on helis and airplanes) and i want to get a truggy or a buggy. I havent decided yet. If i had the money, i would get the losi 8ight-t because it comes with almost everything i need to race it. But at $800 its a little steep right now. The truggy i looked at was the kyosho inferno neo st. What are your opinions about the truck? A few things i noticed.. -Plastic shocks - I want aluminum -Lack of aftermarket bodies - I want to paint my own, i am unsure if current inferno st-rr bodies fit. If they do.. Great!! -20mm shorter wheelbase than the losi. This i see as a disadvantage for track use. And to me.. the longer wheelbase looks nicer. But Function>Form! -Pull start - I would like to bump start it. UNLESS, the pull start isnt as cheesy as the traxxas ones i have worked with [:@] -New Radio - Seems nice... Has anyone ever used it?? Thats all for now.. Im just trying to do my research! By the way, I plan to use this like half on a track and half not [:)] Here is a reference [link=http://www.kyosho.com/eng/products/rc/detail.html?product_id=107745]link[/link] Thanks!

UM T-28 motor cutting out :(
Im not sure if this is the right place to post this but im having some problems with my t-28... The motor will just randomly shut off while in mid flight. It doesnt happen at super low speeds, but as soon as i get up to a little over 1/2 throttle, the motor cuts out. Its pretty cold out so i dont know if thats causing it. About a month ago, it used to happen only once every ten flights. Now Its everytime. And i have to unplug and replug the battery. Im using both the stock and an eflite battery

Macbook vs Dell 15z? Engineering student
Hey all. I am an engineering student at NJIT and i have some questions.. I have a really big 17.3in asus g74sx-bbk7 (best buy model) And i love it. BUT. I have issues with it to. 1. Its to big to carry around and to class 2. Battery life SUCKS 3. To heavy (9.4lbs!!) So with that said. ive got a guy lined up to buy it for $800 tomorrow afternoon. Because i need/want something more portable. I was thinking the macbook pro 13in, or the dell 15z. I like both. But (from an engineering perspective) i like the macbook way more. What would you guys recommend?

Good for college?
So ive got a lot of down time here at school. I brought some rc's with me already: two heli's and a vendetta. But i want something else! Im looking at an on road vehicle of some type. But im not sure what to get.. My campus is basically all cobble stones.. So i have no idea what size would work best on them. Im in the city so we have parking decks all around. My campus has one right down the street from me so i was thinking about using it there. I am interested in drifting.. But i dont know whats best. On road is not my specialty.. haha [:)] Is it possible to get a..lets say.. "normal" on road car and set it up for drifting? Im just gonna go ahead and guess that all i would need are hard rubber or near plastic tires? Thanks everyone.
