I just joined the LSF and posted an intro in Introduction Thread.
I became interested in RC cars a few months ago. My main hobby is RC planes; have several 50cc size gas planes and one 1/5th scale P-47 with a 5kw electric motor. The wind has been very bad this spring and a friend purchased a E-REVO and it really interested me. I just did not want to have to work with lipo batteries and did not want to go back to nitro engines. When I saw the 1/5th scale gas cars on the market, I knew that would be how I would go. I'm going to be more of hobby driver and hope to not have a lot of crashes.
I ordered the MCD V4 Monster from IHP and was very pleased with the service. I called them (did not write down the name) and was informed that they were out of stock of Zenoahs so I went with the CY 28.5cc in chrome. I figured it is really like this, I'll probably want to buy one of the custom engines later.
Basic kit:
MCD Competition V4 Monster
CY 28.5 Engine/chrome
Upgrading to IHP filter set/with outerwear
HS-5755MG Servos (using both throttle and steering)
DX3S radio: will us SR300T receiver for at least receiver battery voltage
Will have a 6v 4600 battery but may use A123 batteries ( I have several from my planes)
Just a couple of pictures;more tomorrow night, I hope. Pictures show a big box; everything was in good shape in box; chrome engine. No instructions but this thread has already helped me. Please fell free to send suggestions.
