So i decided to starta new hobby, and ive finally took the first step to buy a new RC car, this is the list i ordered last night and i cant wait til it arrives

x Tamiya (#58417) 1:10 DF-03Ra Impreza WRC Monte Carlo 07 W/ESC EP

IT didt cost more then 300$ in total and its great value for money.

glac

looking forward too some pics sounds great m8




i still have something i want to realize in the future

i spend a few hours searching for rc hotrods ..

the only thing available is the boyd rc car ...

i found a few rc rods but all looked really stupid

i then started thinking .. what if one day i buy parts like suspension , engine , drive train etc. , then make a new chassis from metal (a z'ed ladder chassis) and build it up , then make a real rod cab on it with everything...

well you catch my drift

actually rich it was your modeles that kinda wanted me to get into this, but i want to do what you do with RC cars

glac

nice

pics look good , seems you can have a ton of fun going trhough rough terrains and on tarmac

whats the top speed they specify ??

these are one of the quicker of electric rc cars
should of got a petrol

petrol is way cool , but if you just want to drive carefree electric is the way

petrol is cool because its a real engine it makes noise , but loads of tinckering , ware of parts , engine faillure

and electric is fastest ...

you can build an electric rc car to go faster then petrol (in the same size catagory > the size glac has got)

also zero to top speed electric is faster , instant power and no lag

Petrol is OK my mate had oen, if the engine blows your set back shit loads, and same wiht petrol they use ALOT and when the petrol is 1 £ 30 pence in norway for litre its NO way i will spend money on that haha

Yeah RIch this car is Fast about 45 KM/h its more then ennough for me im just gonna use it for rallying and drifting in the summer .

as i can change teh body of the car im gonna buy this body top later

glac

cool

This is cool but trust me petrol all the way!!!! I've had both electric and petrol and I do have to say both are heaps fun but for me nothing beats the sound and smell of the petrol one. Also before i got a spare battery it use to be a pain for me to have to wait an hour everytime to charge the battery in the electric to get to use it for just 15 minutes. With the petrol one you get about 15 minutes out of a tank (which is only around 50ml) and you just fill it up and away you go again! You don't even have to turn it off. I just love engines I must have gasoline in my blood.

Also I put a full LED lighting kit (headlight/taillight/indicator) in my R34 GTR carbon shell, it looks wicked, you should definitely do it to your subie!

Hi mark

I intend to have 3 batteries so i can have about 2 .5hours of fun as they are 45 min each almost
And yean i know the petrol smell is good, but its way to expensive to keep runing , petrol prices here are so expensive now its stupid almost 3 US dollars A litre its madness .
But I will have 2 charges and 3 batteries so i wont run out and yes i bought LED kit as well for my sub, i could have gotten one with led but its the TT01 chassie its not as good s the DF-03 one witch is much much better, and all around great for offroad and on road and drift , with oil dampers and adjustable height .
I jus got email today saying my order is being processed so in about 2 weeks or so it will be here

Why dont you all post pics of your RCs in action
