The quality is really good and the price is really good as well. The MSRP is 299.99us but the street price will be much better.

quick ESC question

does either the speed passion cirtix stock club or hobbywing just stock work with a LiFe receiver pack installed for 1 cell use?

I don't know about the Cirtix, but here's a data point: We are using the Speed Passion Reventon Stock Club Race with the V3 21.5 and 1s LiPo as required equipment in our Legends oval cars. I run a Novak voltage booster, but the other guys just run everything from the 1s voltage, without booster or receiver pack.

It's likely that the circuitry (excluding MOSFETs) is the same between the Cirtix and the Reventon.

Thanks Howard, I did some more digging on google after posting, turns out the cirtix wont work on 1s at all, however the HW just stock will, so thats fine.

I am looking at kits at the moment, i had a serpent s120 ltx v2 previously but didnt get on with it at all..looking at the yokomo r12c3, looks beautiful but it seems like you can only use their wheels with a very specific offset and only mobgums or yokomo (obviously) make pre glued n trued sets for it.

Its either that or a CRC carpet knife XTI but the yoke does look beautiful but the wheel situation does put me off some.. anyone wanna shed light on it?

Check it out over at RedRc


or is it a VBC L12 ?
Very nice looking car indeed. I wonder how easy parts are to get in states? Will have to look up. Also who makes those tires? Love the black/grey rim. To bad white is so popular. (cheaper I guess to make)

Today was my first day back at 12th scale since about 2004...WOOHOO! Glad to be back.

That said, I'm a bit rusty on tires...
- Is there anything I should be doing between runs?
- Saucing technique? (we use SXT at the track I run)

Thanks in advance...

looking for a new 1/12 motor (17.5).... here are my options at the moment:
Tekin Gen 2
Orca
Team Powers
Killshot
Reedy Sonic (either generation)

Any opinions on these motors or comparisons would be helpful

Based on what I have tried and tested
1. Killshot RPM with purple or turquoise rotor
2. Reedy Sonic 1st gen (haven't tried gen 2)
3. Tekin, tested both RPM and Torque version. couldn't get it as fast as a Killshot

Haven't had anyone locally try the Orca or Powers motor in a 1/12 so I can't say anything about either.

good to know, I'll keep the killshot in mind, as it already was, want to hear about the orca and team powers in 1/12, I know people testing them in touring but not 1/12 yet

what difference did you notice in the different rotors of the killshot?
