£44 kits?

[Autograsser]

What comes in the kit for £44?

[Arnie503]

u have a p m

[Charles King]

complete chassis, wheels tyres, motor and mechanical speed controller all you need is receiver, transmitter, 2 servo's and a batt pack! ;D

[Michaella Webster]

dont get the battery packs in the kits...... not the ones i get anyway.



michaella :P

[Charles King]

And don't get the mardave battery charger either! Best way to ruin your battery packs ;D

[EdT]

Mardave sold us acharger for around £30 that was spot on for a new starter.
It does both 4 & 6 cell, Ni-CD & Ni-MH, mains and 12V and I belive is made by Ultra Peak.

I think the one you are talking about is the £5 charger......and I belive they are indeed (Banned word).

[Charles King]

that's the one!!

[Autograsser]

thanks for the replys!!! What do they go like outside? And is it a 540 motor that comes with them?

[EdT]

They are not the greatest outdoors .... due to their low ground clearance.
But they are fun on a very good tarmac.

See the thread about outdoors.

[Mark Stiles]

It is a 540 motor that you get with the kit, although you can buy the mabuchi rs540sh, which is still a 540 size motor, but is faster. Its what we all use at nationals. A bargain at £7.95! :)

[Charles King]

i think outdoor racing doesn't really work as Edt says they are too low i would suggest countersinking the bolts but your not allowed to do that! ;D

[justinbowness15]

with a reamer?

[Mark Stiles]

no, with a countersinking drill bit! :P

[justinbowness15]

what do they look like?

[Mark Stiles]

go into a DIY store and ask for one. They are quite expensive mind.

They are a cone shaped drill bit basically.

[fredster]

the mardave charger was red hot 15-20 mins and your running again

[Charles King]

i think the general consensus is you pay for what you get!

[joe717]

j :PE

[Mark Stiles]

You'll need servos as well, but you can get radio combos, which include a transmitter, receiver, crystals and 2 servos.

[Simmo]

Also tools to build the thing, screwdrivers etc etc, Some decent tyre glue for the rims, a good pair of bodyshell scissors - hope i'm not stating the obvious?

[joe717]

[Charles King]

don't often see 2nd hand ones but it's worth looking at the eastbourne model club site the quite often have a few!
