I drove chris's and it was really fun, feels "1/8 SCALE" and handles really good. Seemed alot easier to drive than the 1/10 scales

saturday sounds good.. what time? 11am? just practice correct? I've yet to make the trip to LHR, so not really sure what to expect. I just finished some last minute mods on the car during my lunch break (at work now), and all I've got left is to paint the body, and charge the packs.

nick- that thing is sweeeeeeeeeet. you are going to be kicking our a$$s. we are going to be running rally baced cars, and you have something that looks to be serpent based?

ill have to check with the wife. ill get back to ya.

Anyone up for big scale at LH again? - Tex - 10-10-2006

that is an 1/8 on-road nitro converted to elec. Nick is good for doing that. Then he propells them to 60mph+ in about 2 seconds with whatever sick ass BL system he has for the moment...haha

Anyone up for big scale at LH again? - firesprink281 - 10-10-2006

i cant tell if its xr8 or serpent baced.
anywho, ill be there on saturday.

Anyone up for big scale at LH again? - -nick - 10-10-2006

haha thanks for all the positive feedback guys.
it's an XR8 conversion. http://www.happytimehobby.com/cars/xr8/

there's an ongoing thread on the project here: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3489

motor's a Neu 1512/2.5d (2000kv, 2500 peak watts (~3.25HP))
the plan was to have lipos by now, but I found a good deal on an older iBook, and couldn't pass it up, so I won't have lipo's for another month or so.

what cars are you guys running? Landmax's and the like?
when will racing season start next year, and any chance for me to run this thing?
and how early will you guys show up on Saturday? 2 hour drive for me =\

Anyone up for big scale at LH again? - firesprink281 - 10-10-2006

ill prob be there around opening. (10am) yeah our cars are alot like the landmax. a couple are ingerno gts and squids is a lightning. i cant wait to see your car in action. maybe this winter ill work on a bl jato.

Anyone up for big scale at LH again? - Tex - 10-10-2006

the guys are running kyosho inferno GT's, they are not racing currently, just messing around. I'm sure you could run that 1/8th with the other 1/8ths on club races

Anyone up for big scale at LH again? - Tex - 10-10-2006

That thing is awesome. How much does it weigh?

Anyone up for big scale at LH again? - -nick - 10-10-2006

~6lbs loaded.

Wow

Thought it would be heavier. What are the battery holders made out of? That's what makes it look heavy.

Yep, Nick made this insane car. I have been working with him all the way through this project, and the first proto didnt turn out good with a few weak links, so he went and redesigned the whole center section as 1 piece(against what I though he should do due to weight/money, but it turned out fine)and it looks insane.

He is pushing 3.25HP in a 6lb car...I cant wait to see this thing in action.

Nick has had some other insane BL vehicles, but this has topped all of them. If anyone is interested in buying a BL conversion kit, let us know Wink

I can't wait to see how this body came out LOL!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I hope your not planning on smoking all 3 of those packs in one day!LOL

Peace
