Hi guys, where is the best place to source bodies from and which ozzie companies are going to sell the BL/lipo setup

Well if I'm going BL i may as well go lipo at the same time.

Brushless motors systems for mini

http://www.harrisrc.com.au/brushless.htm

So when I buy my BL system what should I get a 13t Hobbywing 35 amp or 25amp esc.

What is a good starting combination for tyres as that I am going to be running to a budget

Will the Hobbywing Motor work with a Mamba Max ESC?

Either - doesn't matter, they both work fine.
Hard to advise on tyres, everyone runs on a different surface. I run Powers or Spice 36's, they last and last and last...

It isn't legal to do so. The rules state 'COMPLETE SYSTEM' - you have to use the Hobbywing ESC as well.

So is the speed passion combo legal (seeing i have already got a couple of these combo's), only see the hobbywing

"Tamiya Black Can Sport-Tuned motors – 53068 (23,000 rpm max), or 13T/3000KV Hobbywing OEM/rebranded COMPLETE SYSTEM with max 25 or 35 amp ESC and engraved /etched can. No modifications are permitted to motors."

ONLY the Hobbywing as stated. The Speed Passion is definitely not. I assume you're talking about the old Exige system which is actually discontinued now.

Yep there the ones i was refering to, so i have to spend more hard earned just to comply, what a waste of money i spent then bought 2 combo's and only used 1 for 2 heats, might be a collectors item in years to come-not , i'll just use them as a clubbie then.

You could always us them in a 4x4 mini!!!

Yeah i know that feeling

I got an esc never used and 2 motors 1 run each, all not legal....

And...I've got a whole heap of stuff we used during the testing to work out what was the best combo... and I can't use it either.

But...it'll be worth it in the end.

Ohh well thems the breaks, i guess they will end up in the kids mini's for them to bash with

Hi All,

I know what you mean about frustration.

I was setting up a second car for another driver for next season and now have 12 venom 3600 nimh packs that i am now being told arent legal.

Its not like they have an advantage over other brands.

how do you get batteries made legal?

cheers

I learnt from the 13.5 brushless fiasco. Everyone (me included) assumed 13.5 motor would be the new stock motor and now it has been left out in the cold.
