Well guy's, I'm retiring the Hyper 7/1518 /8S/XL monster.

I have found out that there is a local track near me (less then 45 minutes) it's a town sponsored project and the guys are great!

It's not a ROAR track so it's cool to run what ever I want, they divide up the classes by lap time not vehicle type ect.
So I'm free to have my high voltage goodness and all my Castle gear.

I've bought a few new RC's for this purpose and have some spending lined up for the next few checks.

I picked up a losi 8 buggy roller ($50!!!) and I'll be using the Mamba XL in it with the 1518 I have and a pair of 4S 2650mah 40/50C turnigy lipo's for 8S.
I'm also considering switching to a Neu 1515 2y (1100kv) for a bit less power and a little more run time.
The idea of the 8S is to have high efficiency and low heat.
I put the CC conversion in it but that will likely see a RCM or Losi mount soon depending on which one works better.

I also bought a Losi 8T electric roller ($250) that will get my MMM with my 1717 for now, and probably the 1518 or another 1515 2y on 6S soon.

Today I'll be ordering an OFNA 10sc RTR EP kit, that will get the MMP/2400KV kit in two weeks.
It's more for running with the pack (lot of guys at the track run SC's) and the kids can tool it around too once it's dialed down and dialed in.

Still going to maintain my XXXT as a loaner/kids RC running my modded MM and a 36mm aero 2300kv brushless. Not to serious with this truck, just a toy.

The wife has approved a $400 allowance with each paycheck (2 a month) for all my play needs, so over the next month/summer I should be able to put together some sick rides.

If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it... Last edited by DrKnow65; 01.28.2011 at 10:52 AM.
