I have been in the R/C game for decades.

Go electric off road. Trouble free fun.

For those uninitiated, some poison for you all

Used to play with nitro on road. But now electric seems more popular. My nitro engines all sitting around doing nothing.

Few reasons why electric more popular than nitro;

1) less noisy so can play in built up areas

2) brushless motor matches or exceed nitro engine performance

3) LiPo batteries matches or exceed nitro performance

4) easy to maintain after play

5) 1/10 electrics vehicle components are now as bulletproof as 1/8 nitro

6) there are more local racing tracks supporting electrics

I still got 2 rc drift cars sitting somewhere in my house after all my friends quit.

Haiz diffcult to maintain the same groups together leh..

[Kyosho1]

Make new friends lah.

There are plenty of stranger kakis at the rc tracks who get their fix from racing with one another.

Now my friend also turned to playing rc crawler...not much ppl already..

I've an electric buggy. It's quite old liao and the last time i check it, it seems that the batt is spoilt. Is the batt standard for all buggys and where can i get a replacement or have some expert to check it out? Would like to get it restored so that i can play in mscp since it's the end of the year. Need to clear leave, quite eng.

Haha very expensive hobby. But still like it very much still collecting 1/10 shells.

There's one RC club at East Coast Park right? Somewhere near to the sailing club?

What brand & model is your buggy?

 

If it is hobby grade instead of toy grade, it will use a standard size 7.2V battery pack.

 

Did you buy it from a hobbyshop?

 

Cheers
