what r/c should i get?

hey guys, i want a cheap but upgrade able electric r/c whats a good one that is in the $100 range that i should get. also is there a r/c car that i could get with a remote control and batteries for no more than $120 please help with some advice.

i will assume your talking us dollars, and even then i will say NO. save up a bit longer mate, you will not regret it.

120 will get u a walmart rc lol..... that goes 5mph........ save u there are some good electrics in the 150 - 200 dollar range :smokin:

thanks for the help! also what else beside's the engine can you do to your r/c to make it faster?

u can change gears/ratios for torque or speed depending on wut u wanna do and the theres allot of frame mods you can do to make it lighter depending on the car u get :smokin:

how do i get a electric r/c to do 60mph?

piss easy. get a pan car chassis, bolt on a micro switch to turn the spinny bit on and off, 12 cells, and a 8 single, should do bout 80mph with the right gears

want more info just ask

hey, i am looking for an upgradeable eletric car for around $150
i am thinking about the Tamiya R/C Supra 2000 TL01 4WD
what do you guys think?
i want something fast

lc boi, an 8x1 motor will not power you upto 80mph

i have a trinity P94 7x2 which i geared incredibly high on very powerfull matched 3300 cells and it only recorded just under 50mph

that motor has an rpm of 54,000 and i was geared at an 84 tooth spur gear with a 24 pinion which was quite high

so to get an Electric rc car to do 60mph, its no easy task, the current fastest electric rc car to be recorded was 54mph

what MarkRiccioni said isnot entierly true. yes the fastest electric car on record is 54 as reported in guiness, but that record was set in a pure legal race ready car with 6 cells. I have had my own personal pan car up to 60 mph, with a motor that was rated at only 27000 RPM and a 6 cell battery. RCCA broke 100 mph with a vehicle they did, it was a 24 cell oval carfrom associtade if i remember correctly. If speed is the only thing that matters to you, get a pan or oval car, a pan car would be more stable in a straight line. so, to break 60 mph, all you need is a pan car, a decent motor, and some tall gearing. For that run, my gear ratio was an extremely tall 2.6:1 final gear.
