lots of fun just remember to check all screws and bolts after each tank of fuel as they tend to vibrate loose very easy

I love it - no matter how old you get there is still something about a remote control car which gets the juices running

Damn those tyres go quick. Just bought mine and used it for a couple of hours, nothing left of the tread and the damn servos came loose. By the way, not the best things to drive through puddles, not that i did it intentionally:driving:

It's going great guns now ,changed the ratio on the 2 speed so it hooks up a little later on the gear change .
Got some fresh fuel 20% Nitro gave it a tune and all is good ,i took on a car in our street a couple of days ago (RICE)i stopped at the intersection before he did .
We live a 20 mtrs from the corner

But now it's raining so it's packed up in the garage if all is fine tomorrow i will take them all out to the car park and give them a blast .

Good fun ,hell i gotta watch to wheel spin to preserve the tyres a bit.

Wow thats an unusual scale for a R/C Car, most popular seem to be 1/10th, 1/8th or 1/5th hadn't really heard of 1/6th.

I had never seen one before ,untill i saw one on the shelf at the Hobby shop and i thought i would like one of those as it was so big just looked cool ,then spotted this one on ebay ..

I have had to spend a grand total of $2.50 to get it running ,or should i say stopping ,i had to buy some 3mm grub screws only needed 1 to fix the rear brakes .

Got fresh fuel and off i went ..

I have to agree ,it's good fun it's the closest thing to a performance car for me .
Just have to workout when i take them out for a fang to i take both or do i take just one oh there is a monster truck in the mix aswell ..
