I want to know where to get some of these, they look like fun: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/e...d3e28bf07b.htm

 

haha yea. i used to do these. that **** is all hand built though. You get something like this at a hobby shop but u gotta assemble them

 

price range?

 

hhahah i do that with my NSX as well

you can get them off ebay.....or at ur local hobby shop



they come in 2 kinds, a kit or RTR (ready to race) ....if you like modifying cars id recommend going for the kit so you can build it from ground up

also you can choose between gas powered or electric powered.........i have both

electric : easy to maintain. battery power is not as constant as gas
gas: pain to maintain. tons of fun. sounds great and everything

 

probably 150-200 but they're fun as hell they go about 30 mph u can run em either electric or gas. they're not for normal street use or you'll most likely ruin them. best to take them to an RC track.. they also have off-road ones u can build that run on clay/dirt tracks

 

ill take some pics of mine in a bit and post them. they're actually really cool. you can do custom paint jobs n ****.

 

yea.....dont play those on the street....esp for gas coz if ur remote runs out of battery, you'll have a run away car

 

what kind of engine do you have beck?

 

Looks like fun, but only if you want to spend the money to invest in them!

They look real until a cone or a foot goes by...

 

That is awesome! I would have used the gas powered cars, but they seem to do really good with the electrics. Cheaper to build and run.

 

A friend of mine has one. Not for drifting but a normal one. 2 gears... Fast as hell!!

 

what about on like a smooth blacktop, such as a parking lot?

 

here are some pics.....i always run the cars without the body coz theres no point to run with it and i just dont wanna scratch it :P



i need new tires









sorry about the blurry pic...took that 2 years ago

the black one is my electric one (MR2 body)

its sad to say that my electric can out run my gas powered because i left the NSX completely stock

 

Street would be fine, but you risk the chance of it getting ran over or going down the street out of control if your battery dies in the controller.

The comments said they used high torque motors and 2" ABS pipe for tires.

 

im getting 2 speed soon.......they arent cheap

 

something like this: http://readyracers.com/7409.html

 

good god you can get a 45MPH one

 

yes....thats the electric powered one

make sure its 1:10 scale for road cars and 1:8 for buggys....those are the most popular ones

but ive seen 1:4 scale gas powered road cars....they are HUGE

 

I'm jealous Penguin. I wouldn't mind having one around! Especially if it's that NSX.

 

if you modify them you can go over 60mph no problem

 

you can buy parts from them, and get them unpainted. Its really like having a mini car to mod... it seems pretty reasonable in price to

 

haha you can put on any kind of body on those cars.....and you can also paint any color you want

go check them out at a hobby store they are really fun to build and run

 

Geeezzzz, over 60?

 

Great, now I'm hooked! Shame on you!

Hobby Town USA, here I come!

 

i can see it now. you and a buddy in a car, have him drive and you run ur RC next to you the police dispatcher say: "We have reports of a speeding RC car going 60 in a 35 down XYZ Ave, officer please respond"
