I mainly want to go at practice times, but if I decide to race......I'm not expecting to win anything, just fun.

This is the track right now.

Thanks !

The guy at the track says they run 1900kv or 2000kv in the 1/8 buggies. He said he runs a 1600kv because he's not that great a driver. I'm gonna have to sell some of my older stuff to get started on this.

Looking at the conversion kit, esc/motor combo, batteries and charger.

Does sensored and sensorless make a difference for racing ? Reading up says the sensorless runs cooler, has a sealed motor, but cogs at low rpm. Do any racing rules apply if you decide to, do you have to run sensored ? See if I have this right in my head, kv is rpm ? A higher kv will be more top end...

Thanks much ! I've been digging around and also stopped by the track yesterday. I kinda got that I need a 1900kv motor for what the guys there are running and he pulled out a 5000mah 4s battery. This is the conversion installed and described. https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/convert-your-ae-sc8-rc8-and-r...

I have had this RC8 in the closet for a few years and thinking about pulling it out and converting to elec to drive around at the track. The conversion part is easy I guess with the kit AE makes. I don't know anything about lipo and brushless though. Do any of these cheaper brands talked about here ...

I got a distraction from the not yet started GT build.. My wife asked me to fix the kids old NewBrite Hummer.. Her idea was thinking I'd replace the broken radio and dead battery. This MGT roller should "fix" it. I came across a New Bright VW baja bug that's like 1/6 scale for 5 bucks, I ...

Team Jelly Belly.

That's extremely cool.

I've probably got 60 gallons of storage tubs full of Lego, I don't need to see this !!!

I could see kids playing Death Race with that.

Ooooh, that is scary !!!

This one didn't want to strip, much thinner body to. Looks like ass.

Look, they're hiring.
