Well my Epoch indoor racer came in today and I have played with it enough to say that these little cars rock Now the only thing left it tofind a place that sells hop ups and new bodies.

The only thing is I am not sure why they call then indoor racers as you have to have some series size rooms in your house to get the full enjoyment out of these

are they big enough that you don't have to worry about it breaking and flipping or getting hung up on tiny little rocks like you would trying to drive a bit outdoors?

They have more clearence then a bit and they look like they would run nice on a smooth paved area. I plan on taking it outside to test it out and will let yea know

Yeah epochs are big fun i got two myself, levin and skyline.

Tiny's got some parts that he stocks, as for bodies just shoot him an email and see what he can do for you.

Yeah pretty much, with the exception of front springs... I got some foam tires aswell but haven't used them yet. I've had mine for about 10 months now and i love these little guys!

Yup, you'll get no bitch'n from me about Epochs...Except for the weak ass controller, so I use the Perfex controller from my Mini-Z instead!

True- They must've run over budget and had to cut corners when it came to the Tx
I gotta me a perfex too, need to remember to shoot Tiny an email bout that.

HMMMMMM wonder if they can be mosfeted?

Guess I will have to ask around on this one

I got them from www.hlj.com a while back, just checked and it looks like they're out of the epoch biz... sorry bro.

You can check this out for other parts, like bodies, rx, tx, tracks ect...

Well I took her for a spin on my driveway (aint the smoothest surface) and it ran good. Only problem I had was if I didn't slow down in the turns she would flip. I am gonna take her to a newly paved parking lot and try her out (before teh snow comes)

Bits does not equal Epochs Bro...Mosfet Mod is for micros with limp dicks, Epochs suffer no such inadequacies.

P.S.- You may have noticed that towards the end of the charge cycle, your car not only slows down but seems to stop responding when pressing the trigger?...That's normal.

I know bro I only ask cause I know they are mosfeting the mini z's, didn't know if anyone has done one of these and what the performance difference was is all.

I have noticed that it will stop responding to the triger when charge is low. I get really good run times off charging 3 times in a row.

cool our road just got major construction they dug down replaced the sewer and water lines upto the house and down the street and repaved it all so i got a nice little speedway just waiting but i'm not sure if i'd wanna go bigger than an epooch or not... i feel like i'd get bored with something that small outside. i don't wanna go to something as expensive as 1/10th scale so i'm sorta looking around right now

i don't know much about the larger "real" r/c's but don't they do fet stacking or something? can somebody clarify about what the hell that is and what it does i'm assuming it's sorta the same as on a bit but with bigga fet's
