Dream Setup
 

I made a list a while ago for new people to get in on a decent budget, that still had quality components. Here is the reverse, if you got paid to drive your car, what eqiptment would you have (budget need not apply)? Substitute your answers in place of mine (cut, paste).

-Kit
Hyper 7 PCR Pro in C-Hub layout (always wanted to make the underdog a champion)

-Engine
OS V-Spec (perhaps with RG carb instead if possible, as I hate three needle setups)

-Pipe
OS 2050

-Radio
Nomadio Sensor

-Servos
Steering: Airtronics 94359
Throttle: Airtronics 94360

-Starter Box
OFNA Chrome Top

-Fuel
Byrons 30% Race

-Charger
MRC Super Brain 977

-Extras
Converted to stand up servo.
Black OFNA Hyper wheels (I like the warped star look)
Pro Line Crowd Pleazer for Hyper

Probably around $1800.00 all told I would guess not counting spare parts.

RE: Dream Setup
 

Kit: MBX5 Prospec

Engine: RB WS7II

Pipe: 063 inline with power racing long header

Radio: Helios with spektrum module

Servos: Sanwa ERG-VX and VRX

Starter Box: Thunder Tiger chrome

Charger: Simprop Intelli Control

Fuel: Homemade with 25% nitromethane and 10% oil (8% castor)

Extras: Carbon fiber stone guards, personal transponder, modified radio box to take a flat pack for lower CG, homemade wheel scrapers out of carbon fiber, milled out chassis braces, Sniper RC two-piece engine mount, aluminium rear chassis brace holder, Power-Save-Racing filter elements.

Oh wait a minute, I already got that... ;) But I guess if cost wasn't an issue I'd add that K-Factory tuning chassis and the fioroni wheel scrapers, along with a modified C5C.

RE: Dream Setup
 

This is good info here guys, keep the dream machines coming [sm=tongue.gif]

RE: Dream Setup
 

Hmm
Kit:
Xray Xb8(flame me all you want but allot of people in canada run them)

engine:
Lamberto collari would hand buld it for me only (dreaming)

Pipe:
same as above

Radio:
see Snviper+ telemetry pack

servos:
ko propo 7.2 volt custom jobs

starter box:
Ofna chrome is good enough for me

batt pack:
2 cell 3300mah lipo

Other hopups:
every Xray option

So far thats to much money for me to want to count, no wonder I bought a storm pro(cheap as in two rolling chassis for $200us)

RE: Dream Setup
 

I have lost my mind and spend way too much money and now am broke for the rest of my life, but i really did want to actually have my dream set up.

Kit: Xray xb8 (with every alum. hop up u can get, yes go to option parts on the team xray website and i really have all of them)

Engine: Nova Rossi p5x

Pipe: JP1

Radio: Jr Z1 (with the spektrum kit)

Servos: jr 8800 T (steering) jr 8800 S (throtle)

Starter Box: the all chrome ofna one

Battery: Venom Racing flat pack

Transponder: amg personal transponder

Charger: duratrax ice


And the sad thing is i just did all this again with the lightning stadium truggy with all the king headz stuff and the xray m18t with all the mamba stuff.

Yes it is true, my wife did leave me and thats why i bought all this to try to make myself feel better, it didn't work. Unfortunately i still miss her.
Fuel: byrons 30%

RE: Dream Setup
 

V-Spec wont keep up with the motor that the factory guys have. The motors they have are worth about $1000 alone and unless you modded that v-spec it just wont match up. I know motors not even 15% of how fast your lap times are but if your going top of the line especially racing in pro ranks you need everything you can get. http://www.sigmatrading.com/RBConcept/rbpricelist.htm I don't have any other info but theres a pricing on one of the factory engines. The motor might be specifically for one road... but I'm sure the buggies don't get much or any less.
1005-RC 950.00 Rody Roem Modified 1005-C TEAM Engine

Even though I love my kyosho I'd run the XB8. Like I've said a few times before it has so many adjustments to dial in your setup perfectly and really help you find the grip and balance where you need it again especially for pro ranking stuff. The hyper of corse is no slouch but most racers like something with more aggressive handling and a lot less weight. The hyper is a full pound heavier than any other top of the line kit out there. This really hurts your acceleration and braking distance.

RE: Dream Setup
 

Roland did you peek at my setup????
Buggy: XB8 I only have the front chassis brace for a hop up and the harder brake pads......
Radio: 3PK w/ spektrum
Mill: Rossi P5
Servos: JR 8611 steering Futaba9451 throttle
Starter: Chrome top (I run it off a 20A DC power supply)
wheels: Panther step pins med or Komodo soft
Charger: Ice
Batt: XS Power cells

and the best part (for me) is I have my dream setup.....maybe use a Hot mod rossi in a real dream setu pbut the P5 kicks enough ass as is....

RE: Dream Setup

RE: Dream Setup
 

I'm working on my dream set-up:D

RE: Dream Setup
 

NICE:D

RE: Dream Setup
 

Very Nice! :D. What MP777 is that?

Here is my setup.
Buggy: Kyosho Inferno MP777

Engine: Polished Dynamite Mach .26

Pipe: JP-2

Radio: JR XS3

Tires: Most used are Proline Crime Fighers and Cell Blocks if the loose dirts cleared off a little more.

Servos: Futaba S3305 steering and throttle

Batt: Team Orion 1400 marathon 5cell.

Starter box: Ofna True Start

Fuel: Dynamite Blue Thunder race 20%

Diffs: 5k front/ 7k center/ 3k rear

Clutch bell: 13-t

A few small adjustments to shock position and roll center.

When I get the money I'll have Racers Edge chassis, shock towers, and chassis braces. This setup has won me 2nd place today against a sponsored driver who can and has hung with the pros. Very close race... we were dead even I just couldn't find a way by him.

RE: Dream Setup

RE: Dream Setup

Engine: Axe Rossi LSK, hand modded and fitted by the guys in Italy

Pipe: Rossi Magic adjustable pipe

Servos: The expensive Airtronics ones, lol. I'll be ordering those soon...

Radio: Nomadio sensor

Starter Box: Definately not the Ofna chrome top! I've got one and I hate it! I'd go for the trusty 'ol Ofna pink box

Batteries: Li-po everything

Tires: Every pro-line, Panther, Advantage racing, and Treadz tire avaliable with a set of each different compound, and variants with different foams and wheels as well! I'd of course get someone to glue them for me. God I love tires....

Body: I'd get Charlie Barns free licsence and let him go crazy painting 4-5 different bodies up for me

OR My real dream would be to build a Brushless buggy with 8000mah li-po's Plettenburg motor, Schulze ESC, and tons of custom carbon/aluminum parts! Which would be insanely expensive as well.

RE: Dream Setup

RE: Dream Setup
 

This part is just a joke right? I would have at least considered something like Competition Electronics (and a complete AMB-it timing system since one has to race with his friends).
