Saw that to Martin, however you would need to swap out the 13.5T for a 17.5T

Not sure if the 13.5T setup is sensored? But agree fully built with motor, esc & servo for an additional £24 is good value!

[mart59]

Just ordered the ARR version it is13.5 sensored should be able to fit 17.5

[Dave Chamberlain]

Looks like the 13.5 kit is the £55 trackstar combo kit they sell which is available in 13.5T, 10.5T and 17.5T

I'm currently using the 17.5T combo and found it pretty good for the money, seem to run cooler than the cheap hobbywing combo I ran last year..

Like I said, it make sense to go for the ARR version as it's only £24 more! Bought separately the motor combo and servo would be almost £70!!

Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh

Wish I'd seen this before ordering two new cars yesterday (I ordered the kit versions, our Mi5s are going on ebay).

Half the fun is building the car so not too disappointed.

[Dave Chamberlain]

Busy busy lately. Kind of had enough of touring car (especially after SWICC on Sunday), and the mrs' ongoing health problems have disrupted everything.

[Dave Chamberlain]

Look forward to seeing the BT4 Martin

Tony, sorry to here Mrs K is not well, hope things improve soon and you guys can pop down and spend some time with us

Quick question. Is this the new Trackstar motor?

Reading up on it, it seems like a good motor (and spares are dirt cheap for it).

[Dave Chamberlain]

Hi Tony,

thats the higher spec Trackstar 17.5T the combo one has a 28A limit not 33A

That's the same as the one I burnt out at Mendip in 2014 (geared it at 2.0 or something).

I've still got the case, rotor, sensor board and screws if they are any use to you for spares.

George just got this bt4 kit for his bday! Hopefully will be built to race by Wednesday

[kennedylanduk]

Did you manage to run the car?

Ours are ready, hopefully going to make it over this Wednesday for a test.
