| Foff, UK style
Hi all, went for a spin to Sand banks in a park near my home here in the United Kingdom, I am hooked it was a gorgeous day . Would be fairly nasty in the rain, I can imagine alot of knackered bearings! I only ran my Fastrax Cage(scx10 running gear) put some 2.2" paddle tyres on and ran my ezrun 3000kv combo with a 2s battery, it was fantastic plenty of power for climbing and non stop rooster tails, I didnt stop smiling. Next time I go, I will extend the rear wheelbase by a few mm as it was a bit unstable on some parts. My cage was doing some great FOFF tumbles This place is only 20 minutes from me, and is a hidden treasure for mucking about. A few photo`s, but they dont do the place justice! |

Looks like a fun day. I'm up in sunny Scotland and have just discovered FOFF in a big way. Building my first dedicated rig at the moment.

Thanks fella`s, dont get me wrong I love going slow. But I like a bit of speed too. My cage was a blast on 2s, it will need the wheelbase stretching for 3s tho |

I bet if you lowered it, that would help tremendously. I really like the last picture too. Are those HPI paddles?

looks good. I still want to lower the body on mine, but not tried it on paddles yet.

Decided yesterday to have another run over to Sandy Banks, managed to get some very dodgy video of my Fastrax Cage. Rig was running with a Castle Creations Sidewinder and an EZrun 10.5T 3200 KV motor, it was OK on a 2s lipo, and an animal on 3s. The video is with the 3s lipo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZjFyCQ41_0 I love this place! |
