Thanks Steve. :D
Anyone got one?
I have one which I race in the Schumacher BTCC here in the UK.
The championship visits several circuits and is over 9 rounds, best 5 to count. I'm actually second in the Big 6 championship, about 4 or 5 points behind the leader. We've had 5 rounds already, with the next coming up this Sunday, so its going to be interesting in terms of the title.
My car is pretty upgraded.
Its got the rear anti-roll bar, saddle pack battery conversion, silver racing tyres (you aren't anywhere without them!), foam bumper, titainium turnbuckles, and the setup from the guy who has won the previous 2 seasons, Schumacher's Jason Butterfield.
At the moment, the equipment I have is this.
Several packs of 3300mah cells,
Reedy Ti can with an Orion 12x3 armature,
Novak GT7,
Acoms 27mhz radio (a basic one I got with my first R/C 6 years ago!),
Hitec HS-625MG-BB servo,
No servo saver, just a red thick servo arm!
Sorry about the quality of the pic!

And one of the chassis, just after I cooked the GM ESC I had in. It must have been the 2 packs of cells....

Quailified 2nd in the A final, but held TQ in the first 2 rounds until the magnets went off in my Ti and couldn't improve.
Tried to keep up with the pole man, but just couldn't match his pace. Ended up with 2nd the final, but points are always welcome!
:cool:

Hi, I am interested in one of these and was wondering how long of a run time it gets? also how would a brushless system work in the car? are they any other bodies that will fit it?

Only the standard body at the moment- but since it's in partnership with Lotus there might e other Lotus shells soon.
You can buy them from Schumacher (www.racing-cars.com)

Try Schumacher Uk, but I'm not sure they'll have any, as its been discontinued here too.
I guess Ebay is an option. Mine will be for sale in September/October time.
Hobson,
Please let me know when you are ready to sell. All I want is the rolling chassis. No electronics, servos or motor. Just a fairly clean chassis with all the basic trimmings. Email me at Meismanm@hotmail.com

I can have a few of this in about 1 month. I'm just waiting for my supplier to let me know the quantity he has in stock.
