Do you want Onroad or Offroad man?

I know A guy who used to get around with a hotted up Tamiya Truck,, He ran a 10D in it, and 3000's and god damn it hooted.. Though recently he has moved his ECS and Motors and Batt packs over to some sort of Kyosho. It goes even harder, mainly because It is an onroad car, and it has hardly nothing in it (weight wise)

Do you really want electric? If ya want gas, I highly reccomend the Kyosho V-One S or the R.....

If you where getting into electric, how much money do you have to spend? I hav a Losi XX-T With all of the Hotup parts from the XXX-T (so it's a cross from a XX-T and a XXX-T) And I can tell you that they are VERY expensive cars to maintan, simply because Losi are a very specialised area of RC cars....

head over to www.dotr.net Man... Someone there will answer your question

Cheers,
Yoda

Hehehe I was in the same boat.

I decided to go with a HPI RS4 Pro3 kit just a week ago.

Would have gone with a TC3 but it was AU$100 more and I really couldn't tell the difference between it and the RS4 Pro3. Not that it really matters for someone of my average driving skill.

Its a far cry from the toys I've had in the past

Now I can't help but spend up on all the option parts, just bought a one way front diff from Hong Kong.

im in the process of rebuilding my yr4m2 (yokomo) for carpet running to drag around the office. got a 10 quad in it, should be a bit of fun

btw, anyone know where I can get a corvette C5-R or Viper GTS-R (both in lemans kit) bodies? (gotta be accurate too, unlike HPI's)...

Well Have good luck in finding those bodies.. as HPI Are one of the best manufacturer's in the body Line......

yeah, not saying they arent nice, just innacurate (they are smoothed out a lot, less drag an all that, but not accurate). if tamiya had a 1/10 static scale models line id be set
