so.. your into RC's huh....

[tas]

thats the one thanks are they any good?

 

[CHONDA]

There ok, Shalf driven good entery level car.. Should be easy to get parts for them at your hobbie shop if not online..

Make sure you run it in for like two 1 liter bottles of nitro.

Make sure when you start it you dont stuff the pull start, small fast pulls, cos they have a compression point where it will fire. kinda like kicking you bike from tdc..

There lot of fun i drifted one of them but batter power.

 

[CHONDA]

Mite wanta get some stuff called AFTER RUN as well as nitro is highly Corrosif :angry-smiley-013:& makes wear and tear on your motor a lot harder.:faint:

damn, those kyosho's look alright as a starter. thought about getting a 1/7 or 1/8, but my money cannot get together for it. ages ago i got a fazer 1:10, was good fun and all. ended up trying to transplant a hpi .25 engine in it lol. that lasted maybe one hour of run time.. but man that thing flew!
the nitro is good fun to muck around with.

 

[Lethalleigh29]

Damn right as long as you run a good quality Fuel and look after the machine they last for a damn long time..

After run oil is an Rc's best friend...as mentioned Below

the GT2 is a totally fun machine.. and totally upgradeable..

 

[CHONDA]

If your looking to drift i Blet driven car as shaft are nosey

And most of the cars that are shaft have bushes & bearings.

PLZ DONT GET ANY OF THESE TWO.. STAY RIGHT AWAY FROM THEM.. THEY ARE BOXES OF SHAT.

[rumble]

Nah ive got a nitro, hyper 7, and dont think i would go lekky.

Love tuning and setting up the engine. Nothing like breaking in a new engine. Tuning till you get it just right.

Mates got a hyper 8 (?) in electric, says it runs flat quickly. Not sure what hes running though.
