Fresh from our first outing with 3800mah 2S LiPo batteries (we were running no-brand NiMH) at a club meeting, I'm keen to price up a better/newer ride than my TB-02.
As I'm on a budget, and potentially going to have to buy another one when my son sees it, I'm looking at the Sakura Zero S from RCMart as well as a budget brushless motor and ESC from hobbyking.
However, it occurs to me that if we want to do more than compete against each other then my son and I should get rigs that comply with a basic racing class, just in case.
I've looked at lots of the pdfs on the BRCA web site and the lists of acceptable components is extensive; it's going to take a while to figure them all out. So....
Has anyone been through this loop before? I want the lowest cost, compliant brushless motor and ESC combination that we can race between us at the club but can also compete if we want to.
Ideas?
