Hi guys,
I'm jumping back in and trying to figure out what is still good and won't hold me back, and what I just need to ditch or sell cheap.
ESC's: LRP Spheres. Would they hold me back a lot in something like VTA?
Radio: KO EX-10 helios with Spektrum module and mini spektrum receivers. This is a big one, are the new radios worth the spend or will this one keep me competitive for now?
Novak Brushless motors: Ones a "Ballistic", the rest were from the gen before that. Just good for bashing?
Chargers: Team Checkpoint (TC1030?). A couple other random lipo chargers that charge at a max below 10 amps. Junk?
AMB personal transponders: Still fine to use, right?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Transponders are good unless your track has done the firmware updgrade; read this:
LRC: Newest MyLaps firmware update adds features, disables MRT transponders :: LiveRC.com - R/C Car News, Pictures, Videos, and More
Chargers will still be fine unless you want/need higher charge rates, ir measuremeant and so on.
Novak motors were questionable when they were new, not competitive anymore unless still used in a spec environment that allows Novak and only Novak motors although I think most of those classes have moved on.
The newer radios are better than the Spektrum moduled stuff. Something like the Futaba 4PV or Sanwa MT-44 will get you more features than you'll ever use with a fast reaction time at a reasonable price.
The LRP Sphere didn't have a true blinky mode. That may or maynot be an issue for you depending on the class/track you are running at. That being said, a
HW Justock is so good for the money in blinky classes it is probably the greatest bargain in RC today.
