Nice... I especially like that WRX Kow.

 

deanx0r do you have a cover for yours? or is it just like a bare? Wouldnt it get crap in it when you used it?

 

Yep I do, it's a yellow lamborgini...I'll take some photos if I get a chance

 

I have the same RC as Kow so no need to post a pic.

 

Nice cars! It's made me want to paint mine and post a pic of it. I have an expensive-cheap electric car which I got about 5 years ago, I think it's called the Fox or something? A 4WD Tamiya kit model anyway. You know what I mean by expensive-cheap, it was a few hundred bucks (I think $300 or so) but is a shitload better than the pre-made ones you get from Tandy or Tricky Dicky and the like.

What surprised me about it is that I got it from Woolies! I saw the same car on its own from Hobbyco for about $350, but found it on special in Woolies at Wetherill Park for less than that, and including the r/c gear. RRP was about $450 or something for both. Haven't used it for ages, but it's under my bed and easy to get out and use when I get the urge. It handles better in reverse! They should use rear wheel steering

ta acid built it myself heh .. Paint job turned out well on both my Rc and my real car

 

Here's mine





nothing special inside...cept 2-speed tranny...everything stock...

i snapped the pull-start cord

deanx0r do you have icq? wanna ask you a few things bout
ur car

 

Here's my car,



Its a Serpent Impulse, very good car to drive. Have been doing quite well with it at racing. I'll see if i can get another photo of it with all the options i have for it now. I have it setup like a 1/8 scale with oneway front diff and a solid read axle.

Here's a photo of my RC body as requested:



The body itself is fairly trashed, the wing got taken off when the car rolled taking a corner too fast at the track, haven't bothered to stick it back on yet. Soon I'll be ditching that body and probably getting a Dodge Stratus one.

Mugen Seki parts are availible @ www.radiomodels.com.au

by the way my kyosho gs11r pullstart cord was about to snap

i replaced it with blind cord

 

Real nice car you've got there JeffreyK! Once I get serious enough in RC racing and have enough money to buy a Serpent Impulse, I'll definitely be getting one...that or a Kyosho V1R

What engine you got in it?

 

Anybody got a toyota supra, Petrol?
I want to see what these baby's look like!

 

yes the v1r is a great car as well, I have a Novarossi RS 12 http://www.novarossi.com/motori_ing/12/rs12ing.html 1.35 HP I'lll be getting the JP verson of this motor soon.

I'll be in Melbourne between the 23rd and 28th Jan for the Vic Championship. I can get enough of RC racing

Jeff

 

OMG that is one sickass engine! I just bought myself a Novarossi CX12PS and I thought that was bloody powerful, yours must be ridiculously fast!

Is the VIC Championship being held at the Lilydale Track?? I hope so, I'm a member there....awesome track! I'd definitely go along to watch if I wasn't holiday'ing up in Brisbane then!

 

I know its not much but i got a Kyosho Pure Ten Gp Spider Mk II, pretty standard except the 2 speed transmission... Going to get a new shell when i got the cash
