Hi,
im rightknow looking for a on road car to race at my lhs. i stubled upon a bolink legend for cheap and i wondered if it would be a nice car? i plan on racing it in the touring class with a brushless system and a lipo. do you think the brushless motor will be able to handle the direct drive or do you think is will get alot of tire roll. i plan on really impressing the guy at my lhs with this one, so i wanna no the advantages and dissadvantages of this car.
thanks

dont race it in touring car class there is now way you can win any race with a legend in a 4wd race unless its drag only

You will get crushed in a sanctioned touring race with a Bolink. I own the Legend and it was designed for Bolink Legend sanctioned races on Carpet. The car doesn't even have a ball diff just striaght locked posi ( = impossible to keep up with any modern day touring car).

You can set-up the car for Drag racing but... even still, not a very competitive car in that class either! Technology in the Drag series cars have reall come a long way (I also own the econo-rail bolink dragster).

I'd say buy the car and shelf it for collection purposes not competitive purposes!

It will go fast in a straight line.... but you'll never be able to keep up with the touring cars in the turns. I built one to bash with, and I like it beacuse of it's simplicity. On mine I chopped the fenders off to make it look more like a vintage modified. I run this with a cheap Tamiya silver-can motor & inexpensive radio gear and it still hauls butt. I let my younger nephews bash with this so they don't ruin my expensive stuff.[sm=lol.gif]

The only place for a Legends car to race is with other Legends. The local HobbyTown has races every Saturday and there's 4-5 Legends that run. Let's say they're in a class of their own, and leave it at that.

buy it and sell it, theres a bunch of people obsessed with them for some reason. It would not hold up ion racing though.

SuperCooper,
Can you give more details on your setup? This looks like it would be a fun car to play around with in parking lots. Are you running standard TC tires/rim?

SuperCooper

Those wheels & tires are REALLY OLD ProLine SpeedHawgs that were made specifically for pan cars years ago. They are no longer in production.... when they wear out I will have to switch over to standard pan car foams or some BSR radials.
