Like I said, does any body have them?
I have 6. 1 car and 5 trucks (I like trucks better can you tell?). My car is by far the fastest of what I own. It has been up to 60 mph and can beat my dad's minivan 0-60. I have gears to go up to 120 but the ratio was too tal and wouldnt do more than 2. I have a tubal frame chasis moster truck (being built), a clod buster, a HPI RS4 MT which is a four wheel drive monster truck, and a traxxas stampede. The stampede is tougher and faster than most think except for the gear box. If any one has any questions about this feel free to post them or IM me or e-mail me.
Chris

do u have any pics of ur cars?? I would be very interestred too see them.

I have an RS4 and a TL01.

I got a Traxxas Nitro Stmapede. I'm currently having trouble with it. It starts than stops. Its not getting enough gas, what should I do?

Hey car master! It's me, Dr. Dung! I came here like you said, this seems like a good place.

I got a Tamiya ta03 w/ Lancer body, Custom made fiber-glass chassis. I also have a Kyosho outrage buggy and a Trinity Spec racer, freakin flies!

note to MBTN,
[I changed your sig... if you don't mind :D]

Wow cool. Ill get some pictures and try and get them scanned asap. Except i need to scan mine at school cause im a cheap bastard right now.

i'll try and get some pics.. i have 3 HPI nitro cars, an HPI rs4 nitro, HPI nitro mini, and HPI nitro rs4 racer2

cool. Do you race and if so how often?

I have 2 Battery powered cars. I will throw some pics up this weekend. :alien:

I have a TL01 with a Skyline GT-R shell, when you cant afford the real thing these are a nice way to kill time and hang out with friends.
Peace.........
:eek:

:shocked: im suprised we have this many people that have them. Like i asked before, do any of you race?

No, although I am going to try to start this summer.

Im gonna start racing this summer because for the first time my differentioal is set perfectly. It slips for just a split second, then is gone. And it can do a figure 8 in half of my drive way, or about the width of a towncar.

I'm surprised that's so popular around here . . . RC cars are cool . . .

I always wanted one, but then again, I'm so fickle . . . I want it all.

Anybody remember the "Frog", "Hornet", "Blackfoot", "Mudblaster" . . . "Lobo" or somethin' like that . . . "MIdnight Pumpkin", "Monster Beetle" . . . I can remember so many of them . . .

I have a nitro rs42 which i love. I went to a track but due to crap tires i couldnt even compete, but another guy let my try his and I got the fastest qualifing lap.

I used to own a original blackfoot. thats not impressive cause i was just racing on an asphault track, with foam tires which are more for carpet use, and was keeping pace with the gas touringcars on the straits, and im still using a 27 turn motor. I was also able to pass them in the corners. And, this is with a cheaper reversible speed control, cheap steering servo, basic AM radio, and still the older 2000 cells, not even a 2400 pack. And the guy i was facing, was using a Airtronics M8, and i dont know what else but if they can afford a M8, they got to be using better electronics then me. Thats why today, i bought upgraded everything so i can really beat them.

I dont use them nearly as much as I did before I had a real car, but here they are, in the order that I aquired them:

1. Traxxas Hawk 2
2. Traxxas LS-2
3. Traxxas Nitro Hawk (sold a couple years ago)
4. HPI RS4 w/Porche 911 Carrera body
5. Tamiya Mini Cooper
6. Tamiya TA02 FF (yes, FWD) w/Honda Accord body

I raced the Hawk 2 twice at Fast Lane in Newhall, CA, and got 3rd the first time out, and 1st the second time out. It had an off-brand stock motor(27T), a Dynamite 1200 pack or something like that, and full bushings. I was about the slowest truck in my races, but was darn consistent. I love that thing.

The LS-2 was to be the racing replacement for the Hawk 2. That never happened because I promptly lost interest, and I never got the steering to work right. Last year I destroyed the front end off a bike jump and am having trouble finding all the parts.

The Nitro Hawk was ok, but the pull start took a crap three times and wouldnt stay fixed, so I sold it for $75 ready to run(doh!)

I got my RS4 I think the same year they came out or the following year, cant remember. It is a badass car, but I need to get some bearings for it.

The Mini was supposed to be a play around car, and that it was. I literally drove the wheels off(now I need new wheels and tires, hehe)

The TA02 is just like a small version of a real FWD car. Oh wait, its supposed to be. Alot more whippy than an AWD car.

Holy crap that was long. Sorry bout that, I just now found the R/C forum and had to introduce myself, I guess.

I have two R/C cars, one is a big red truck, and the other is a hummer. they are both slow, run on 4 AA batteries. they romp in the snow though. i want to get one of those $5000 mclaren ones though, those are fast!

Who makes that McLaren? Chances are you get get a car thats just as fast for quite a bit less money.

hey honda_guy, and welcome to the R/c forum. Sorry I've fallen a bit behind to say the least. if you have any ?'s bout them, ask me, i should know. You can see what I have, and i can tell u that my pan car is very fast, fast enough to keep up with the .15 nitro car with a 27 turn motor, not bad considering at the time, they had just as much money in his transmitter and servos than i had in my car.

I'm not exactly sure who makes the Mclaren car, let me go downstairs and check real quick. ok here we go, its on page 154 in the december 99 dupont. Tecnago makes itand its 3 feet long or 1:5 scale. holy cow, i don't know what i was smoking, they aren't $5000, the prices range from $1095.00 for the Extreme model and $1395.00 for the Competition model, and i'm guessing that all the bodies are interchangable. you can check it out at www.tecnago.com

I have a 7 year old Taimya Stadium Blitzer that is in need of a ESC, shocks/springs, rims/wheels, and a new body. Yep, it was abused :(

i bet my body on my stampede is in worse shape than yours. I have duct tape holding my doby together, is held on by 3 clips instead of 4, and has a huge crack on each side of the bed so there is barely anything holding the whole body together. ill get a new body for it soon though, cause i dont wanna show up at the track with this body.

ive got 1 rc car its a jp chadori buggy (cheap) with a team orion orbital 2 mach mod 21turn motor and a sonik eco 2 esc and a shitty 1300 batt. but tou would be suprised how fast the thing goes! but mainly i just have massive dougnut comps with my brothers tamiya fighter buggy rx. i'm still on my 1st set of tyres though somehow but since i got those upgrade a could of weeks ago my tyres are now almost bald. mmm think ill go have aniother go!

here's a pic of it (yes i know the quality is crap)

I have 2, waiting on a 3rd. I will go into detail better when I can think right. :)

hmm maybe i should remember what i write.....

Hi, I have a HPI Nitro RS4 with an Accord body, and Viper and a CLK. But the one I run every week:
FG competition 1/5 scale.
23 cc engine.
3+ hp.
4 wheel disc Hidraulics brakes.
Mercedes C180 Body. But soon with a Primera body.:sun:

I have also run in the past on a Serpent 1/10, but not anymore.

i finally got a pic of my stampede. I dont have the body on it cause its a piece of crap, but here the chasis.

and hers pic 2

Ok, here are some quick snipits of my cars..

I guess I should have explained better :D

He likes to chew anything made of rubber :) Even car tires, if he can :)

All I have is a little .21 powered T-MAXX, which by the way is a blast to drive.

Josh:devil:

I hate when the network is down, i miss so much. Anyway, have u ever raced either of them?

What else have u done to ur T-Maxx, joshmel? Also did u change the gears when u swapped engiens or not?

I have about eight RC cars. I am building two more as the ones I have are alright. I am building a pretty fast electric and a gas car.

Yeah, I did have to change the gearing a little. I usually use 22/64 or 66, and when I am racing my friends, or pulling each other I have used a 20, and an 18 tooth clutch bell. I have also bought just about everything that Hardcore racing makes for the truck, including there .21 conversion kit with the titanium chassis. The truck was a blast with the stock engine, but now I can never go back. I am looking into buying a Kyosho 7.5 inferno, as soon as I can convince the wife.

Josh:cool:

Here are two pictures of my Tamiya Primera. I havn't painted the body yet, as I want to do it right, and paint it to match my car exactly. hahah.
Enjoy

Cool, I'm glad that you changed your gears, there are many R/C ricers or so to say around here who do the engine swap but dont change their gears or do anything else and says that it can break 60 :rolleyes:. Ill post some pics of my other vehicles soon. I need to see if my roomie will let me borrow his dig camera for the weekend. Also I'll take some pictures of our project and give you guys a sneak peak at what we are doing. You will see it in RCCA when it's done. It's only part done now, but you can see what we have done. It will be next week at the earilest.

R/C ricers? I didn't know there was a such thing.

yeha i said that for lack of a better word.

Rc was fun when I was a teenager and it's still fun now that I'm a father.

I've got 4 cars.
1 Tamiya Fast AttackVehicle circa 1982, goes but gearbox etc will expire soon.
1 kyosho Rocky, chain driven 4wd buggy circa 1986 broken chassis that need fixiing sometime.
1 HPI Nitro RS4 2 4wd bullet with a 911 GT3 shell
and just on order 1 Schumacher SST Rally Evo 6 for a bit of fun at Christmas. I'll try to get some photos by the new year

Those are some cool cars. I dont know much about the first two you listed, can you tell me more about them?

Hi everyone
I have 4 radio controled cars. Which are a AE TC3 tourer (factory team spec)(honda body), AE TC3 Rally (team spec)(mitsi body), Losi xx (old but still good) and a FG Modellsport Marder Buggy(Large scale 23cc petrol)
I race the tc3 tourer and rally at the local model car club but the losi and the marder are just for fun.

Paul:smoker2:

And a pic of the Marder (together with the tc3 tourer) which has to be the best rc car Ive owner for sheer out and out fun.:smoker2: :smoker2: :smoker2: :smoker2:

I've got an old TA02 with loadsa hop ups and a chevy caprice police car bodyshell. I raced it for a season a few years back and to the other drivers surprise, i came second in the touring car class over the summer. Beating even the yokomos and associated cars, and with that brick of a body!
I then bought a gas conversion kit for it, with an alloy chassis and .12 engine + tuned pipe. Surprisingly, that is slower than the race car (in electric form)

Thats cool that you were able to win that much with it. I try to race but dont get much time, they don't allow my car to race anywhere around me, but a new off-road track just oppened up so I should be going racing this weekend or next weekend to give it a shot. If I do, I'll tell you guys how I do.

Heres my 4th gen Civic Hatchback.

This pictures about a year old, but nothing much has changed as i can't afford any mods at all. Stupid Weak New Zealand Dollar.

The mods i have done is install a new headunit, Panasonic cq-dp101, aswell as a new tailight the other week!!!


Sarujin

Sarujin

Cool, what kind of equip do you run with your cars and howoften do you race?

I got a Taeam Losi XXX-T last fall and I wanna race it this summer. Oh yeah, HI :sun:

Certified RC nut here! I love RC, I buy 'em, build 'em and race 'em.


I'm glad we now have an RC forum!

I'm glad we now have an RC forum! I know your name says off road mike.......but would you be interested in purchacing a TAMIYA onroad car for cheap?!?! :alien: :bloated: :licker: :smoka: :flash:

i'm in the early stages of building a Nitro Subaru WRX (trying to make a replica of my ride). i've done a few 1:18 and 1:24 models but this'll be my first attempted RC, i'm hoping it'll come out ok.

glad to see there's a forum for it :D

man a WRX? nice car and R/C car!!:)

hey i don't know if you got an answer got it fixed or what not but i would say adjust the carb so that its a little more open (i.e. adjust the needle so it doesn't close so much.) if you have a controller that allows you to make adjustment like that then use it, its a lot easier

I have a HPI Nitro RS4 RTR. This thing can tear up the road. I have had it for almost a year and it is my first nitro powered RC. When I wa syounger, I used to by my RCs from Toy-R-US. But I never knew what I was missing. Since I am still new at RC racing, I have not bought any hop up parts yet. i still haven't switched the stock throttle over to its max yet. The thing is fast enough for me right now. But as i get better, I will add many hop up parts and switch the trottle over to its maximum setting. Right now and have a BMW M3 and Subaru WRX body. I use to have a Skyline R34 too, but the wing snapped off. So i just use this shell for just practicing. I might post some pics of them if i can get my hands on a digital camera.

Hey guys!! Here's a pic of my RC. Even though I haven't hooked it up yet, it is nice. It is so fast. I can catch up to any car on the street.
http://www.angelfire.com/super2/jsiu/HPI_RS4.jpg

Sorry but if u can't see the pic, u have to right-click the Angelfire banner and goto properties. Then goto the URL thats given. I am not sure why this is happening. Can soemone tell me how they post their pics.

I just bought my first RC car about a month ago. I bought an TA RC10GT Plus. Its a pretty cool little car. Ive got a lot to learn about these Nitro cars tho.:D

Hmm, RC Cars...I have a couple.

HPI Nitro MT Racer Stock Body and Dodge Ram
HPI Micro RS4 2 Skylines and Porche 911
OFNA Nitro OB4 Various Bodies
Tamiya Madcap

jesus christ, that's all I have to say to that. Jesus christ.

Odd, my wife says the same thing everytime there is a knock on the door from UPS.:sun:

he he that's pretty funny. So is your r/c car collecting a hobby now or an addiction?:confused: :D

Yes:bloated:

hey have you heard of those new things called like mini pocket racerz or something like that? I've seen 'em and i think they're totally sweet. They go pretty fast (especially becasue they're like 3 inches long) and you can buy rims and body kits and crap for them...:D

I've seen toy cars and trucks a bit bigger than Hotwheels cars that you can change out the seats, rims and ride hight on. But nothing that's RC.

yeah they're pretty crazy. You should look at them online. Seeing that you have an addiction to r/c cars I think you'd find them cool. I think they run about 30 dollars each. I know they have WRXs, Civics, Saleens, and some other models out right now.

yeah I just bought one yesterday, they're pretty tight. And they go pretty fast for such little things. I got the CRX, and it's litterally the size of a hotweel car

I have two!

A Tamiya Boomerang from 1987 and a "BitchArC" bootleg micro r/c car (looking for bodies to put on it by the way).

Hey I have 2 nitros for sale if anyone is interested!! THEY are really CHEAP!!! And go like 65-75 MPH!!! YES you can pass cars on the freeway with these! LET me know if your intersted!! :alien: :bloated: :licker: :flash: :smoka:

i have a mardave cobra...battery powered offroad racer. Kit built about 7 years ago, so its a bit worn out as you can imagine.

ill get pics up later:devil:

damn i should have come here earlier

I got a few cars, got 2 planes too, a ducted fan sabre jet and a RAF whirlwind, the whirlwind flys at about 60-70 mph i love flying it at about 6feet along my street!

anyway my cars

i got an old tamiya Manta Ray electric buggy

a tamiya TA-03 with impreza WRC shell

a HPI RS4 pro3 with viper GTS-R shell and new unpainted uncut TVR tuscan shell, im trying to find a way to get it painted in reflex paint!!


anywho im looking to go nitro, and to go off road again, i saw videos of the HPI savage 21 and the Nitro MT
i like them both but the smaller MT looks more in my price range. Does anybody have one?? how fast are they? are they good fun to run? when i get my new job ill get one over the summer

Originally posted by Jimmy2times



anywho im looking to go nitro, .I have two nitros I am trying to sell.....i will sell them real cheap! AND they are RTR!!! :alien: :bloated: :licker: :smoka: :flash:

damn i forgot to mention that i have a manta ray too

a friend gave it to me some years ago...it didnt have any electronics at all. in fact, part of the steering is missing:confused:

I've recently got myself a Tamiya TL-01 Subaru Impreza 2001, I've also owned (in the past!!) a Sand Rover, Sand Scorcher, Fast Attack Vehicle, Bigwig, Porsche 959, Frog, Subaru Brat, Saudia Williams F-1, B2B Sidecar, Blackfoot, Vanessa's Lunch Box and a Peugeot 306 Maxi WRC!!

As you can see I've had one or two since being 13(1982) and even now at the ripe old age of 34, I still enjoy owning them and I race at my local club we're not into anything serious just like to have a bit of a laugh!!

The manta ray was funny, My friend had an old RWD falcon and mine used to beat its ass on acceleration but after i started balding my tyres he would soon catch up with his uprated motor and bushes,

Fatboy where is your local club? the only one i know near with a track is crystal palace, and its the big 1/8th nitros thinking they own the place and that track doesnt have a good straight to get speed out of them cars at all. I wanna go off road again :(

There is 3 clubs local to me Lincoln,Newark and Boston, the one I go to most is Newark.
Get in touch with your local modelshop they should know where your nearest club is!

Well I've just signed up on this forum. Here's my R/C car.
It's a Schumacher Mission S1 chassis with Trinity P2K2 Pro motor, Hot Works Wheels,GS Medial Pro tyres, LRP ESC and Futaba Radio gear.

The Body is a Holden Commodore Maloo Ute in pearl white and (obviously) is sponsered by my work.

Hope you like it :smile: :tongue:

Ok, well that didn't work. I'll try again.

i would but the guy in my local RC car shop is a bit up himself cos he used to have the fastest electric tamiya or something i cant remember but it was the fastest electric something. he goes to crystal palace most weekends but i dont drive yet so its a bit annoying

BTW i went to the recent wings and wheels exhibition a couple a weeks ago and was very disappointed in the lack of RC cars
was all planes and not even any jet turbines

i have a TMAXX but havent used it in years

Kyosho Mini Z Mugen NSX

My favourite car was the Skyline recently but i think i been reconverted to the NSX following the NSX Type R that thing is so sweet. Another note this thing looks 10X Better than the Calsonic Skyline Mini Z that you can get that thing looks horrible. I have no idea why.

I have every rc car ever made.

WOW!!
Thats amazing!!
Especially when you consider that to date Tamiya alone has made over 330 different R/C models!!
Your house must be massive!!

Yeah, I know, but I'm a sentimental pack rat and when you've been doing rc for 17 years, you feel like you own every car ever made. Yeah, Tamiya has a ton of cars, I like the Sand Scorcher, too bad they're like $2,000 now.

I know what you mean, I've been in to R/C models for over 20 years! I've owned more Tamiya cars than I can remember, I've recently finished restoring a Rough Rider and it brings back memories I can tell you!!

Hey guys i have an hpi sprint i am quite proud of it all though it maybe beginner style chassis, it has done me proud, i have put a 12x2 pulse r reedy modified motor in it and a msonik3 esc to control it, i have changed the stock dogbones too the cvd's and put a 35tooth pinion gear on the standard 87tooth spur gear still got heaps to go in hop ups but quit happy with it rite now, it has the mazda rx7 shell and bright silver paint with good old ps-16 stripes down the sides like the fast and the furious r34 skyliner, mean i say!!!

i've only been racing for about 6 years now, but i have a few cars. they include a hpi pro 2, associated t3, losi xx, the folowing tamias: hornet, super hornet, stadium blitzer, monster beetle, another i don't know what is, f103 (soon to have 8 cells and a 15 double), and a trc spec 10 (i hear you all say what the???), two boats and a fireblade xl plane. not bad eh?

Ive got a Neo Maximum Nitro, 1/10, BMW shell... and at the moment its running like a dog, methinks it needs a new gasket as when i took the thing apart i bent the damn thing :(

And heres a pic:

http://www.pop69pop.com/~sam/sam-rc-engine.jpg

This is like a year after i finished making it so it looks a bit roughed up... only rolled it a few times hehe.

that looks in bloody great nick compared to some of mine......

i have a tamiye terra crusher..... i am gonna get a 21 for it because it came with an a on road car engine and which is an 18 it may be good for a 3-4 pound car but for a 12 pound monster truck it dont cut it u cant take off from a stand still its patetic..... i have tried everything under the sun to fix it to :disappoin !!!never buy a nitro from tamiya!!!

a tamiya electric buggy from like the mid 80s and a tamiya boat from the same year.... the buggy is the shit it flies for an electric dude... neva drove the boat yet but i will soon :iceslolan

i am gonna get a duratrax evader st the electric one....... and i am gonna fix it up real nice and race it!!!!!!!! :iceslolan



for some of you boat guys i got a video of a electric bought doin like 120!!!!!! :naughty: the worlds fastest boat ever!!!!! it sounds like a rocket ship lol i will attach it soon!

is it anywhere on the net where we can dl ?

i have a race spec Losi XXX-S Graphite + Sedan, competiton wise i run a 10x2 Trinity D5, but indoors i use my 12x2 Trinity p94

nice, almost brought one of them.

Hey guys i have a Traxxas t-maxx. Tamiya Grasshopper. MRC Hammerhead. And then a poc of x-mod.

Now I have added a Nitro TC3 to my list..and I just put a .12 TR-S motor and many other mods....around 600 invested

Nice, how do you like it? i almost bought a TC# a while ago, but i just dont like touring cars, buti wanted to race. i got an Emaxx instead, i love it.

Im thinking of getting a Team losi XXX-S RTR. Does any one have one and how is it. Im thinking of drifting with it.

OMG I love it.....it is sooo fast with the new engine and pipe....I had it tuned one time so high that it ATE my tires in about 25 minutes.....it was just spinning them and they went into the air...but with my new pipe and some smart tuning I am going to be winning races left and right.....I can drift the hell out of it too...Howie....The xxx-s is a wonderfull machine but you should never get a RTR kit....especially a person with your experience...you should just get another crystal and reciever so that way you can still use your futaba....also you want to have a low wind motor so you have that tourqe...you dont really get much with the stock motor....

E-maxxes are cool.....im personally never going back to ELE though....I want to get an off road car though...either a rally or a MONSTER TRUCK!!

I had a gas truck for awhile, but it wouldnt stay tuned right. the emaxx has so much more power than it did anyway. For the most part, the only place that gas has an advatage over electric would be in speed in the montster truck part. the rest of the palce they seem to be pretty evenly matched. not worth the hassle for me.

Thats understandable

plus my emaxx is faster than my gas truck was, lol. though, it was one based off an 1/8th scale buggy with a .21 with only a one speed tranny. also didnt handle as well. i should pick up some mod motors for my emaxx.

OMG I love it.....it is sooo fast with the new engine and pipe....I had it tuned one time so high that it ATE my tires in about 25 minutes.....it was just spinning them and they went into the air...but with my new pipe and some smart tuning I am going to be winning races left and right.....I can drift the hell out of it too...Howie....The xxx-s is a wonderfull machine but you should never get a RTR kit....especially a person with your experience...you should just get another crystal and reciever so that way you can still use your futaba....also you want to have a low wind motor so you have that tourqe...you dont really get much with the stock motor....
What do you mean with my experience. I was going to get the RTR.

hum... lets see.... xmods...2 ............. :( ok now to the real things.... i havve an hpi rs4 rtr 3 with gpm tierods, new rims, white springs in the front and red in the back, bigger airfilter (not k&n or motorsavers..) fiber disk brake (the brownish one) and i think that it.... oh yeah.. and i have a mini-z mugen nsx mr-02 with square rims, mzr v-plate, dry bearings, mzw 45t motor and i think thats about it... im getting a 2x4 si4562dy fet job and some new screws and tires....

x-mods r34
t-maxx 2.5
traxxas rustler electric with a bl system
i sold my savage
im getting another tlt-1

i got a hpi rs4 rtr. i ahvent touched that thing in like a year. man i spent like 600 bucks on that. there goes my paint job for the car in sig

Right now all i have is one r/c car because i sold all of my other's to buy it. The only other r/c i still have is an electric heli.

I've got a 1/6 scale FG Marder buggy. It's got a 23cc Zenoah motor and does about 40mph. That might not sound fast compared to some of the onroad cars that are out now (60+mph) but when the car weighs 20lbs and is 1/6 scale 40mph is very fast. Right now the car is mostly stock except for a K&N air filter (that was just crushed due to an accident), a velocity stack, and porting/polishing of the motor.

The car's i've had before this...
-Tamiya Bullhead (my favorite of all time that i've owned other than the marder)
-Totally tricked out Clodzilla IV, with gravedigger body and just about nothing on it was stock (except for the gears/cases/axles)
-Tamiya Blackfoot that was modded by the previous owner to have 8 wheels and four wheel steering!!! It was built to be a pulling truck but he sold it to me and i used to just mess around with it. I used to pull my little brother on his power wheels with it...LOL
-RC10GT with MIP pipe
-Tamiya Sauber F1 car
-Traxxas Hawk II
-Compagnucci- Italian two stroke gas powered 1/8 scale F50. Nice car but not as fast as i thought it would be.
-ETC ETC ETC About ten others that aren't worth talking about

i have an ofla ultra lx pro and a Nitro RS4 type ss

im going to buy an hpi super nitro, i i think, or an rs4 evo, i dont know yet.

well im a new proud owner of a hooked up e-maxx

Serveral over the past couple of years, both nitro and electric. I've built two .21 T Maxxes, one .27 Hybrid Maxx, 1 Mamba brushless Mini T with 3 cell lipos, a modded GS Storm SUT and soon to start on an M18 XRay with the Mamba brushless/lipo setup. My current collection is the SUT, Mini T and the unfinished M18 kit.
Its nice to see that I'm not alone.

I am an owner of a totally custom Acura RSX X-mod with nearly all the hop-ups you could hope for, a 1:24 Calsonic Skyline GT-R (R34) from a company called Taiyo and recently, just one week ago, a proud owner of a 1:10 Tamiya TT-01 Chassis based Xanavi Nismo GT-R. I'm really happy, because I think I got a good deal on it. However, the price is still....alot compared to my other two R/C cars.

I just recently bought a Traxxas bandit, only mod done so far is blue anodized locking wheel nuts. Hope to be getting a shock upgrade soon. Then new motor and ESC.

right know i have a Associated TC3- current mods < trinity 12 t double, novak super rooster esc > and i have a HPI RS4 3 RTR < all stock >

will post sum pic's of the tc3 with my escalade body on it---->
