Awesome little things, I wouldn't mind getting one for my umm 21month old boy. lol

Would any one have better pics of the R32 GTR, from what I can see the R32's shell looks a little crappy. The R34 looks good but.

Haha...They are awesome, wouldn't mind getting one myself!

There's a place in Newcastle that sells them from memory, and most reputable Hobby Shops (RC Hobby shops) also sell them I'm pretty sure.

I used to be into these, where I was younger, I had a RWD one with FETs extra battery and faster motor, thing used to drift.

generally hobby stores are abit expensive,

I used to order all my stuff from hk or us. was cheaper, cant remember where from tho

edit, ausmicro sell ready sets

Yeah, the hobby shops in aust are very expensive, considering for diffs transmissions etc, you can have the price and have it at your front door (shipping included) but coming from a hobby shop is hella spensive...

But when people are just getting into it, alot of the time it's better to buy local.

lol I have this tiny tomy rc car, about the size of a 50 cent coin and its got an r34 shell, batteries last abou 10 mins then you recharge it off the remote. pretty sweet but i havent used it for about 3 years cause the cars battery stopped chargng properly

^lol those where the bomb for passing time at school

They come up occasionally on ebay, but otherwise HPI make an RS4 micro, with an R34 shell. They're about the same size.

Available locally, plenty of hop-ups...etc etc.

But if you go down the road of a 1:10th RC drifter, there's plenty more options and cheaper parts. Essentially you're going to need the same radio gear, batteries, charger etc.

They have a shop in Rhodes and the city.

I had one for a while. There pretty cool. Especially when you start modifying them

I have a collection of the Tomy Bit-G (aka Bit-char) cars...

The best is my R34 skyline (no honestly) - I got the upgraded motor and gears for it...

I think toyseast sells them from hongkong - but check Big-W!

I'm sure I've seen the Kyosho ones there!
