Hi Everyone, I have just ordered my first half eight and cant wait to get it and start hopping it up.

Any recommendations regarding motor? I dont need something blisteringly fast but the faster the better bearing in mind battery life

What do you think?

Also, I see a lot of info regarding ESC, what are they and will I need one?

Is there any other things I should be considering as well as motor, battery and ESC initaiily?

Thanks in advance

:D

Hi, im also from the uk and had my mini inferno for about 8 months.

before yor even think about more speed you need to get oil shocks as the stock ones are complete tosh. :)

ESC is Electronic Speed Controller and is already fitted as standard. :)

Hi Roost It,

I agree with your comment on the standard shocke, they truly are pants!!!! I have ordered some replacement oil shocks and hopefully they should have been delivered by the time I get home tonight

I have also changed the shock towers in readiness

Now Motor and ESC are next on my list, I just need to decide what one

Cheers for the advice

Thunder Power 3S + Wraith 7K + Quark 33A= nitro killer. Do it.
