Lightning basic electric setup???

[nativepaul]

It looks like we have similar tastes, micro boats and bigger cars, Im in the planing stages for a lightning myself, a buggy tho not the truck.

I'm not worrying about weight on the buggy too much, I will probably run nimh or 10,000 too, there similar weight.
The weight will still hurt a cars acceleration but not nearly as much as a boat, it wont affect the top speed like weight on a boat will, as theres more to get moving but the drag stays the same as theres no increace of wetted area to slow you.

Holy cow! It's a small world on the internet. Paul, looking forward to racing FE boats in coming up here when it gets warm. We'll have to post our non water rigs on RRR when we get them done. Random indeed!

Dustin, I raced only on Wednesdays every week last year. I worked with Dave (Marble) in Ames for a year or so and he would sometimes come out and race with me on electric night. I ran stock truck moslty. Chrome front and green back T4. Brandon would anounce me as Ryan "Got Bling" William$. I never made it out to Saturday racing as I had nobody to pit for me and I was bored with nitro anyway. (Only so much porting and timing you can do) I am looking forward to racing on electric night and also would like to run with the nitro guys as well. Paul and I are ELECTRIC boat guys and I am a bit of a junkie. You wanna see some crazy electric setups, then look at the boat guys. We are NUTS. Check this 32 cell boat out. 150 MPH 2 way average.http://www.modellbau-regler.de/Video...dro_140mph.wmv
