Returning Newbie to R/C with Serpent Truggy
#1

Hi All,
I was sent over here by a guy on the Oople forum in England.
I thought I would introduce myself.
I'm Martin and about 15 - 20 years ago I used to race 1/10th electric off-road.
I have recently got back into the sport and picked up a second hand Schumacher Cougar SV2 along with a Speed Passion 6.5T motor and SP ESC running Reedy 5200 saddle-packs. That should keep me busy for a bit!
However, along the way I have also acquired a 1/8 Serpent Cobra Truggy which I'm planning to run brushless. This scale is all new to me so I will be asking a good few questions along the way if that is ok
Anyhow thanks for having me here.

Thanks for the welcome!
I have got hold of a Mamba esc. but can anyone recommend me a motor and lipos for racing.
My local club do 5 minute heats and 20 minute finals.
What combination of motor and lipos am I looking for? I understand that the motor has to be a smaller size to fit the RC Monster mount?
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Is a 20 minute race with a brushless truggy even possible?
Can someone please let me know and suggest possible motor/lipo combinations?
