Hello

[C3PO]

Hi All,

This week I took delivery of the Andy Moore Cyclone Edition (bought off ebay) and it's a superb piece of kit. It is in what I'd call very good to excellent condition having been run just a few times on indoor tracks. Comparing it with my Schumacher SST, well that's a bit silly as everything is improved and feels much tighter.

The package came with the car, servo, receiver, new HB body shell, 2x 3700 cells, niMH/Lipo charger, ESC ... only thing not there is the motor, but I have a little collection of these already ;) . Here she is (excuse the dust and stuff, flash always make it look a lot worse)

wow you have to show us vids of it running mate, it must be quite impressive.

[C3PO]

Sure ... it'll be at least a week away as I have work to deal with and also the car needs to be properly built.

[rushbasher]

now that's gonna fly, i'd put a bet that it would be faster than a nitro

[MORE SPEED]

Electric is in general faster than nitro though, and electrics have a straight torque curve, where as nitro's are curved.

MORE SPEED

[ME:MTC]

yea but nitros are more fun

Okay ... little update: got the car built finally with motor, ESC etc...:)

I visited my personal mechanic (my dad) and he sorted all the soldering as I'm pretty awful. Here she is tonight, will post better pix tomorrow:
