Rare Bear Pylon Racing
Feb 28^th, 2013 at 12:02pm

I posted this on our forum at NRCM hoping that I could drum up some interest. Would be fun to add pylon racing to a funfly.

HK has a Rarebear Pylon racing startup kit for $89.95. I'm tempted to order one. It is unpainted and has everything to get it going minus the receiver, plus has upgraded electronics over the stock version and includes a lipo. It's only $89.95. Might be fun.

They claim 120mph out of the box. Any takers? Grin

Hobbyking has a website dedicated to the rarebear class of pylon racing also worth taking a look at.

A few youtube videos of the Rare Bears in action.

You and me both sandy. now which way do you increase expo on spektrum...no wait, that's on my footaba. lol

Personally I prefer this one, bigger and easier to see and also pretty fast.

we'd probably be able to back off the expo a percent or two. lol

A bunch of the guys at my field are racing Hobby King Parkjets. They are about the same as a mini stryker and they are half the price as a Rare Bear. 50$ will have one in the air. We are only running 70w output (1000mah 2S) and it is a perfect fit for a 400ft course. As for speed I would guess about 70 to 80 kph. Anything faster than that and you start destroying airframes with mid airs and pole strikes. The bare airframe is about 15$ and they fly superb.
