Great looking. I know of a few places near were i live that race them gas and electric powered cars. Im looking into getting on soon. I believe they cost around $200, but it looks almost worth it. Great looking body's.

I have got a Tamiya electric, not sure wat type, with carbon fibre chassis, unlimited speed control, futaba servo, team orion 13 turn motor, sports suspension lowered to about 2mm off the ground (when i drive it anywhere i raise it but while it sits there i lower it to look good), Torque gears to get the thing moving fast upto speed, it now hits top speed in about 1 second, top speed is about 60-70km/h, oh yeh and it has a Holden HSV MALOO ute cover. I am searching for a nicely priced 4 turn motor and some sluminium gears instead of plastic, as my gears at the moment cant handle the power any faster than im running at the moment. I am getting a R33 GTR Body soon. And am starting racing in a few months, as soon as i figure out how to get more than 2 min running time, lol. I know its my motor that drains the power but i watch hpi cars race at tracks and they run for more than 10 min straight without power loss, i just dont understand what can i do. I am currently running a 2400 ni-cd battery, but also have a 1900ni-cd a tamiya 1700 ni-cd and 2 1400 ni-cd batteries. None of them go more than 2 min. Someone help please!!

tried conditioning a battery properly?
like ur charger might be crapping out, how do you charge? i had a battery on my RS4 pro3 a 1900 i think and for xmas i got my dad a £80 pro peak supernova charger/discharger and i used it on all my batteries, i get about 30% extra time out of that 1900 cos i been conditioning it, i wont ever use that old charge now
oh btw i also got bored of 6cells and now tape in a 7cell 1900 cos the RS4 has a longitudinal mount for the battery... it goes a lot faster but i swear its messed some stuff up, not that i care cos im gonna change all the standard running gear soon anyway
might try the 8cell before i switch it all over!! might fry a few things but nevermind
