I see there is the new inline carpet knife but we are ok with the old one if they are in stock...
anything else i need to know?
does everyone and their bro use x, y or z ESC?
is the novak a mistake?
we have our own 24X 36 track which is a bit small but were gonna make it work.
is a 17.5 appropriate for that size track? i have read pretty much this whole thread we are not newbs, just 1/12 newbs, do most of you run a rx pack, is that better than booster or and esc that boosts the BEC to 6 v we are likely to run 5 or 6 batteries thru it a nite...
I know there will be a variety of opinions but the 1/12 thread is populated by competent people (or at least MOST) lol unlike some of the offroad threads that are full of kids and morons..( at least some of them)
imo, for 1s native performance and support, you can't beat the LRP series.
Ditto for Tekin, except you will need to add a booster, it's a one time installation, which you will forget is even there in time.
The
TQ booster from Canada is what I would recommend for the Tekin.
Of course for the Tekin, you will need the Hotwire to load the latest version.
For a 24' X 36' track, 17.5 blinky will be plenty quick enough
