I won a CRC on Ebay along with several tires and a new painted body. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121018599287...84.m1497.l2649 The club I'm in has just started playing with these cars, no rules run what you bring. The other guys are running 2 cell Lipos I think. 13 motors. I'll probably use an RS ESC since I have one. Five min races. I almost exclusively run GensAce batterys. Any 2 cell battery recomendations?

Yeah no. Use a 1s with whatever motor you want. If you could even fit a 2s into a 12th scale it would be so fast you wouldn't be able to drive it.

Pro-10 cars use 2s with a 10.5 or so, for reference. Stick to 1s.

I've got a Castle 1S ESC but I've heard about a lot of problems with not enough voltage to the servo and reciever. Dont want to have to run a 2nd battery. Educate me.

Voltage booster. Brings voltage up to 5.8-6v (think it is) for servo and receiver from single cell lipo

Can anyone recommend a voltage booster for the LRP SPX Zero?

Where can you find a voltage booster at?

Bring the noise

now what a hoot that would be<G> even with a a 21 or 25 and no sad servo's i think i will get one for practice days for the spare car

I know you guys are heavy into club racing with rules but what would it hurt to run a 2 cell 1600 that will fit and run for 5 minutes? If its too fast I can just dial it down on my radio. It will come to the day where we will all sit down and come up with rules, in the meantime I dont want to spend a $100 on a single cell battery and voltage booster. If the rules we make call for it I will gladly do it but I dont want to jump the gun and spend a lot of money until the rules are written, ya know what I mean. I could also go with a 17.5, have a few of them, that is if the 13 is too fast.

to add some noise.

i used to own a team crc pan car similar to rc12l3 that is using 6cells nimh.

i think higher voltage is more efficient than higher current. with 2s, we can use cheaper esc that support lower current, higher turn motor that might be cheaper, no special bec, thinner wire, etc.

however it breaks the existing business of hobby supplier, that's is the problem.

There is nothing wrong with running what ever you want in your car, or in your club. Just know that 1S is the standard for 1/12 and WGT cars and if you intend to race anywhere else or at a regional/national level, then it is required .. as well as 8 minute races.

We're all to old to race anywhere else LOL. We're just having fun.

if you dont have set class rules run it until you do have enough people for current roar rules personally i believe we never should of gone 1s but that is my opinion the 17.5 would be a good choice if you are just starting until you figure it out and just have fun

You can get a good 1s battery and voltage booster for around $28 from HobbyKing. I'd recommend getting a couple of boosters for spares since they're so cheap.

Does anybody know of a different plastic centre pivot piece that will replace the associated one? Ideally, that has been lowered by 0.5-0.6mm of the height that associates is, but not essential..

This is the part I'm referring to replacing..
