Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / May 2007sportswerks recoil survey
how many owners out there? any of you newbies? Most of my club who bought them are serious tourer drivers, are already stripping them down and upgrading. Fans added, better radios, which means replacing the speedos. Standard engines either melt or bits break down. Had a big race sunday 9 of them. only 3 survived to cross the finishing line in the final race. Not nasty collisions just breakdowns. comments? > how many owners out there? any of you newbies? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Had a big race sunday 9 of them. only 3 survived to cross the finishing > line in the final race.

I've been lapped by an out of the box one in my 1/10th tc4. > how many owners out there? any of you newbies? I love my Recoil. It's the best RTR product I've ever purchased. Just a great product,at a great price point. We race them here: http://www.strictlyrc.net They are great because they perform well on 1/18th scale tracks as well as 1/10th scale tracks. The best Recoil forum is on rctech.net here: http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthread.php?t=146421 Here's mine: stock ESC/Receiver Integy servo Carisma 380 motor (with bored out chassis) 6 cell NIMH battery packs also use a Thunder Power 1320 Lipo stock spur Carisma 14 tooth pinion Magenta foam tires "kenji" <kenji@ripco.com> wrote in : I love my Recoil.

Those cells can really pump it out. I take it IL is ILinois USA? Here in the UK the distributor is horizon hobby. formerly Helger racing but they were bought out. > "kenji" <kenji@ripco.com> wrote in : my pack is a 7.4v not an 11 volt.

It's not like the stock ESC is powering a low turn 540 motor. > I take it IL is ILinois USA? Here in the UK the distributor is horizon > hobby. formerly Helger racing but they were bought out. Horizon Hobby is also the Sportwerks distributor here too. When we order any product Horizon distributes from our local hobby shops we generally get them in one maybe two days because it's only a few hundred miles away from Chicago. |
