Heh... yeah, I get back into it now and then. It takes my mind off what I want to do to my REAL car, so I spend money on RC stuff instead.... and it's a whole lot cheaper! =-D

[satanic]

LOL; maybe it's time to give the 34 a break an spend a grand just on an RC car... you never know, it could end up going faster than the 34

[RANDY]

lol! That's a bit TOO keen!

Now... how do I mount this mini-sub into the back of my RC...? ;op

I havent read through most of this thread - so sorry if someones already posted it!

however in Asquith - near Mills Park theres a track there.

I havent played soccer there for a while but a couple of years ago when I was the track was there and looks pretty good. its built on the extremely old and gutted asquith bowling club of years ago.

hope that helps

[RANDY]

Thanks for the info, but I can't find anything on it. =-[

A race bred RC car will blow any Skyline away anyday.

About two years ago at one of those fund days at Oran park they asked us to coem and present our cars for the kids and stuff. They had a drag match between a V8 Supercar and a RC Nitro down the straight. There were three races.....the V8 never got close.

Only slightly cheaper.

Decent Chassis : $600

Motors : $100 (racer usally stock anywhere from 3-20)

ESC : $250

Transmittor : $400

Servo : $ 150

Batteries : $80.00 a pop (min 6 sets) and replaced every 4 months

Chargers : $500

Power Supply : $200

Tools : $1500

Tyres : $100 a pop for around two meets

Bodies : $50.00

The list go's on and on

Thats why I gave it up...It's too expensive to race downunder. In the US and Hong Kong it's ten times cheaper as there are ten times more people doing it

What i did love about it though was it taught me racing dynamics, car setup concepts. You learn all about

Caster/Camber

Anti-Dive-Anti-squat

Roll Centres

Spring set up

Driving technique

Downforce

Patience

All these things I have been able to translate to my recently purchased line. Lovin it.

If anyone wants to buy a race chassis then PM me as I still have it around. It's a solid chassis which took me to two state titles (ACT). Details are below. I'm in Sydney.

Team Xray - Factory Kit 05

There are only two purpose built tracks in Sydney. One in Windsor abd one in Moorebank(Liverpool)...the rest are just netball courts witb rope for lanes and stuff

[Kennedy]

Need NOS for it too. :lol:

The nitro cars run on 30% Nitro.

[N1GTR]

Does anyone have a set of impuls for an RC car?

My rims look crap

You're talking full-on pro's though.. i'm talking "have a bit of fun drifting", which should read something like this!:

Chassis: HPI or Tamiya $200

Motors: Venom Fireball 13, 15 or 17 turn $30

ESC: Comes with the chassis

Transmittor: Comes with the chassis

Servo: Comes with the chassis

Batteries: Venom 3000mAh $29 each

Charger: $100 tops for a digital one

Power supply: wtf?

Tools: alen keys, tyre wrench, screwdriver. Come with the chassis

Tyres: rims come with the chassis, PVC is next to free

Bodies: yeah, if you change it, otherwise; comes with the chassis

So... $360 for the lot with one battery and one motor

That's affordable for just having fun without going hardcore =-]

Oh.. spent an hour driving out to Asquith... found the bowls club, found the soccer field... found one of the greens was made out of asphalt. No track though. The asphalt was loose gravel and not even good for normal onroad races. =-[

if you want to do that, buy mine. Tamiya TGX, 1/8th scale. size 15 nitro engine, plus full ball bearing set, and 2 SPEED gearbox. top speed of nearly 80kph and acceleration faster than the original. plus it's AWD and comes with a GTR body. and does lovely dohnuts. and i have not played with it in over a year as i have too many real cars to occupy me.

i'm serious, buy it! make me an offer and i'm bound to take it...

[RANDY]

OK... Castle Hill raceway is a slab of concrete until the club people turn up on Fridays and lay the track down. There'd be a fee and no nitro, stock motor rules, and no drifting. Looks like we're going to have to bring stuff to make a track when we meet!

Power extension cables work well... they're heavy enough not to move when the wind picks up, but you have to reposition them when someone comes off.

What do you all think about meeting at Curl Curl netball courts with a bunch of crap to make a track? I'd guess a Saturday or Sunday would suit most?

[GTR_Legend]

where the hell is curl curl?

[Kaza]

Homebush P5 also has a great smooth area..

R34 GTR Thunder tiger 2 pro 4wd Race car

Merc Amg Thunder tiger 2 pro 4wd Race car wifey's...

[RANDY]

yer wife has an RC? Wicked =-]

Well... homebush is fine with me too... as long as there's enough people there, and we have some form of track. Places like Homebush usually have security guards that will move you along, and I don't think they'll take kindly to us setting up a makeshift track =-[
