FOR SALE :

TEAM ORION VORTEX 'RACE' SPEC 10.5T BRUSHLESS MOTOR

This Motor is BRAND NEW, still in the Manufacturers Seal

THIS HAS NOW BEEN SOLD!

Well, if Craig Races his V12 with the 'Sensorless' Mardave Brushless System again, this Saturday, I'll run my Mardave with my 'Sensored' Speedo/10.5T Motor as an experiment...........if the 10.5T ends up being faster(which is doubtful), we can then eliminate this from the Debate...............if it ...

I'm not saying that a 10.5T is the right step(as I'm happy with a 13.5T), I'm just saying thats what would be required with a Sensored Speedo, to be equal to the Mardave Brushless System. Unfortunately, I only have one 10.5T Motor. :( Gazza........I'm sure that Warren has a 10.5T Motor spare, as he'...

For once, I have to agree with Gazza :shock: A small Group of us have been using the Sensored Design/13.5T Brushless System for a good few weeks now & found them fantastic! We've found it smooth, precise, reliable & totally maintainance free, as well as giving more Punch & a alittle more...

Hi Richie, I can sort of see your point, concerning the Mardave Class, but its Mardave themselves that have caused this, by releasing their own Brushless System.............whether we think its a good or bad thing, they've decided to take a Beginner Class & progress it to the next level............

I agree with Richie.........that there should only be 2 Classes for Mardaves. The STANDARD CLASS with the 'Brushed' G1/G2 Motor has been going for a long time & has worked fine as it is, so this should really stay as it is. This should be left as the Beginners/Entry Level Class, which is very ch...

Not the Carbon Fibre Chassis again :roll: ........its the same shape as a Standard Mardave Aluminium Chassis & Commercially available to everyone from Fibre-Lyte! I tried the 'Sensored' System with a 13.5T Motor, as an experiment, due to the unrealiability & lack of control from the 'Sensorl...

Not MORE Classes, Rules & Regulations for Mardaves

I have to admit, the White/Red painted Wooden Discs do make the Track look really proffessional looking & were'nt really a problem when they were first made/fitted to the Track.................since then though, we've had the introduction of a 12th Pan Car Heat, which obviously runs slightly low...

I'm really pleased that the Hinckley Club has managed to get one of the 2WD Buggy Rounds for the West Midlands Off-Road Championships this year. I think that this will encourage Racers from other Clubs to attend our Weekly Club Off-Road Meetings every Saturday through the Summer.......so it should e...

I'm running the Atomic Carbon S2 2WD Buggy, which can ONLY take Batteries in a Saddle Pack configuration. The Trakpower 3200 Saddle Packs that I use, weigh around 206g, which are considerably lighter than a Pack of 6Cell Orion SHO 4200 NiMh Batteries(these weigh around 413g). To compensate for this,...

I think that everyone will be doing 2WD/4WD Buggies over the Summer, now that eveybodies had alot more time to sort one out this time round.

Hi Warren, Personally, I dont think that those Pro10 Cars are suitable for Racing Indoors. They were provisionally made for large open Outdoor Tarmac Tracks, due to their Size & Speed! Eventhough there 1/10th Scale, they seem to dwarf a 1/10th Touring Car.......maybe due to the Bodyshell shape? ...

Hi David, I dont know exactly what mah I had left in my 3200 Lipo Saddle Packs, after a Race, but the Lipo Charger I used, told me what % I had left. Most of the time, I think that I had around 20% of Power left, after a Race at the Hinckley Grass Track(when the Grass was cut short). On a couple of ...
