It's a lot of fun just setting the car up to drive nicely, twin disc's on the front and one rear disc. Using a 3 channel cntrl you can set the bias and ABS as well. You can get the servo to pulsate ranging from .1 of a sec to 1-2 seconds depending on tyres and track condition.

Also being a 2 stroke there no mucking around tunning it.

back when I was in high school/collage and I had no real car I raced a 1/10th elec Tamiya TA-03F. Lots of fun and I was amazed how much a minor tweak to such a tiny car can make a huge difference. It help'd greatly once I got the real car and how to change its setup.

Racing gets in the blood doesnt it.
Started out in slot-cars when still at school,(even did two 24hr events in them), then car club type events when I was old enough to get a car, (motorkanas, autocross), then onto rallies (3rd in the 1976 SA Rally Championship), that got too expensive, so moved onto karts for many years,(Class Australia and Clubmen), that got too expensive so onto R/C (1/10 off road 4wd,2wd and trucks, 1/10 on-road,and finally 1/10 gas, the original 2wd ones).
Then that got too expensive so here we are, still racing, on computers 40 odd years later.
Bloody addictive isnt it.


and ABS as well. You can get the servo to pulsate ranging from .1 of a sec to 1-2 seconds depending on tyres and track condition.

When I first started out doing this one of my mates used his r/c controller for racing on the pc, and got quite an advantage in GPL using that abs
