Cant wait, i think i may give 13.5 a go this year! whats everyone else going to run? looking forward to watching the gt10 class

[MonkeyNuts]

I'll be doing 13.5t i expect with the Mi4.

Liam

[jamietraylor]

what chassis you running.lol

[Jazzler]

I can't believe 13.5's will still run with 27t's...

Surely that's going to be like running Ansmann's with Pro Stock?? Any Brushed runners will be getting in the way??

[mattsedgley]

I'll be 13.5 for all rounds, hopeful for a top 15 placement, might even get the pro4 back out for the indoor season! it's a beast!

Matt

[Martin Young]

I think I'll have a go this year after sitting out last years series.

13.5t for me without doubt.

[lesbaldry]

13.5 for me too.....sounds like we'll be having a rather large Bashley "indoor village" this season?

[Reuben]

Ill try to make a few rounds also!

[yellowshark]

You say that but last years championship some people still ran 27t and managed to do well, Some drivers can get alot out of a brushed motor. Maybe now we have gen 3 brushless esc it might not be as close or easy, but i wouldn't rule brushed motors out

You would want the eu for rubber tires on carpet.
the us is for foam tires on carpet i think

[MonkeyNuts]

Last year with the Evo5 i ran a 27t brushed with Nimh's at the first meeting against people with brushless 13.5t and Lipo, and came 8th in the A, so i dont think brushed would be alot slower. With good maintainance of the motor it could probably compete.

Yeah there was some debate about that when the 008 first came out, but mainly Americans and no knowing their pedigree I dint pay too much attention; you may be right. But if means stuffing Matt by a couple of laps with our 27T its money well spent ;D

[mattsedgley]

hahaha!

those Kim wipes you lent me made all the difference they were perfect!

Glad to here it Matt ;D. Now all those that took the pee out of me will be reflecting no doubt
I trust you double folded them and reduced your tyre warmers to 40deg and 25 minutes
