you also have to consider the the usa has much smaller indoor carpet tracks . the 25.5 in a 1100-1200g car will preform at the same speed as a F1 car which is pretty fast

I honestly don’t know why us ‘americans’ choose slower motors than the rest of the world in all our classes.



17.5 would be my vote

Well only the best drivers run it and even they make costly mistakes .
I have to say vta is the most fun class in tc racing. Decent speed and you(I) can acrually race side by side or nose to tail without taking out the other racer . and with a lighter car (fwd ) I see the same fun possibilities but a slughtly higher speed . as the class developes i could see going to a faster motor once the motor wars levels out
Cause over seas yes they do run with 13.5 but not that same out of control 13.5s we have in the usa ...

Not to mention 40% of the americans are just lazy they want to come to the track and have fun and be on pace with little to no effort . so a slower motor will allow those guys to feel like they are on a closer pace to the fast guys . where if a faster motor is used the gap between the top of the A and the bottom of the b might be laps.

Default Build complete..

This car ‘with slop’ (there’s pretty much none rite out the box) is better than all the other cars I’ve built with all the slop ‘shimmed out’..

Mounting the body was not as quirky as I thought it would be.

Very enjoyable build all-in-all

I took the FX out for practices yesterday after our races day , FX is very easy to drive fast and love the acceleration take off thru the corner and straight away speed is good as the TC … you can full throttle thru the sweeper and able hold the tight line n/p .. Two of my friend try my FX and they were stunting
PS .front diff is 2.5Mil diff oil

Hey guys,
Not sure if the link is working for everyone:
Took some pictures how i mount the Bodyshells on my A800FX. Maybe its a help for some of you.

I sent it also to Arno from PetitRC, and we will add this pictures and texts on the A800FX Setup page also.
Just need 1-2 days longer.

*noticed the link i insert here just doesn't apper after i save the post. What i am doing wrong ?
It would be a link to my Facebook page album.
