Finally joining the Epoch club

[bluemax_1]

Hey, just joined the Epoch club and waiting for my spec-2 WRC to arrive in the mail. Ended up getting a Kyosho Perfex to go with it since there seemed to be some dissention on the quality of the Epoch's controller.

Well I'll see if this'll be it for running in my carpeted living room. The DigiQ Rs I've got are pleasingly quick for cars that small but they sure are squirrelly little things. They're so short the handling's a bit of a chore at full speed, not to mention the differential steering thing takes some getting used to. as for the Mini-x, awesome little car. Handles great and has good speed and all, but it's a tiny bit big for my living room, and if I ever get around to rewinding the motor, the living room's gonna seem even smaller.

So here's hoping that the Epoch will be the perfect compromise in size and handling and fitting into the available space department.

BTW, don't see any listing for the 4-cell batt pack here at tinyrc. Anyone know what's up with that? Do I have to go somewhere else to get it then? And I asked this before, but I guess building a pack out of 4 200mAH cells isn't such a great idea huh? I've heard the 4-cell packs with 120 or 160mAH batts already get the little thing quite warm by the end of a run, so I guess there's not much point in using higher capacity cells since it might risk burning something out?
