Anyone got a Remote Control Car?
In my quest to buy anything that maybe considered to be a boys toy, i recently got myself one of these...
It's a HPI RS4 evo 3 Run's on Nitro fuel and it capable of about 40 mph as standard and with a bit of tweaking 50mph + (i'd like to point out that i'm nowhere near any good with it yet, so i'm sticking to standard settings - for now ) You get loads of thread's in armchair about diecast's, book's, dvd's etc, but i'm sure that some of you "speedheads" must have a remote control car about somewhere! So, if you have, what have you got? |

I got a Tamiya TB-02 electric a little before christmas, have only been able to use it a couple of times due to being pretty busy with everything.
It's nowhere as easy to handle as I was expecting though, I can see why they use such wide racetracks for them heheh, Would be nice if I found somewhere/one to race it with. |

Hi
I race a Yokomo BD, mine is very hopped up, about £700 worth of car, with no electronics included in that price. Me and my dad take RC racing very serious, we travel all over the country. RC racing is how I got into Motorsport i fought these are great and decided to go into motorpsorts rather that normal car's. I also have a micro helicopter which is very good fun, my dog always tries to catch it. I also have a micro RC car which i do out like a proper racing cars, with racing body and wheels and I also do drift compitions with it. James |
