I've watched it here n there, not too bad...

These R/C cars are electric not petrol yeah? what kinda $ are they?

[alr33x]

you can get either apparntly electric is better cos for drifting it gets quite hot and not enough air flow to coool a nitro motor.

i paid $600 for mine, car,remote,long life battery and charger. can get em for like $250 but u get what u pay for.. could pay heaps more but fek that

theres tracks in hoppers next to all green one indoor one outdoor havent tried em yet though..

[dezz]

ah yeah, more than I'd wanna spend on something I'm not really into and would no doubt be over pretty quickly haha.

I bought a nitro car off a mate years ago coz he was selling it cheap, more hassle than it was worth at the end of the day...Took it to the hobby joint near all green once too

I use to get my hobby supplies from there when I use to live in Point Cook.

Quite a good store.

Yeah, mine and Alex's Tamiya R/C Car is the Expert Built (XB) model and is electric.

Everything is pre made / assembled + remote.

I bought a battery as well.

It cost $450 for the R/C car but I bought that in the City, which they fully rip you off.

The hobby store in Box Hill was selling it for $350, same package set up too.

Yeah I got over it a bit, but now I should really get back into it, just kept putting it off.

Gotta friend in my area who got a R/C Car too and hopefully head down the track soon.

It's all money at the end of the day, Body Shells can cost $50 - $70 then you got to paint it ($10 - $12 a can of paint).

Buy a set of decent wheels to suite you look (If you want) Wheels come in a pair = 1 set = $15 - $17

Since you need 4 wheels you need to buy 2 sets = ($30 - $34)

Then you need to buy the tyres, so I just went the cheaper tyres = $27 - $30 a set of 4 tyres.

You can easily spend up to $117 - $146 each time you want to do up a R/C Car.

Also depending on how many colours you want to paint it or you can save on wheels and tyres.

Yep, that's the place, the Hobby store next to Melb Central carpark.

Yeah, I just have a lot of ideas when it comes to R/C Cars, that's why I wanted all those body shells and wheels

Mix it up a bit I guess.

http://www.genkidoridori.com/ - These guys are fucking mad!

http://www.hpiracing.com/drift/ - These guys make some decent accessories but the body shells are kinda shit.

Their wheels are great + their "Bling Kits" which come with exhaust muffler / intercooler / mirrors are great.

I dunno what it is, but Cadbury milk choc gives me a very slight allergic reaction. Nestle, lindt etc are all fine, just cadbury, and only their milk choc, their white, mixed and dark is fine.

haha thats interesting, ill run it past the sensory team at work tomorrow and see what they say. Cadbury produces a range of different types of chocolate recipes. Picnic uses a different chocolate recipe to the blocks and Cherry Ripe has dark chocolate. Do you get any reaction to these chocolate bars?

How did you win 10kg of chocolate?

some marketing internal competition. Had to spread the word about the new fairtrade chocolate etc.

Gay. Lost 600 songs on my iPhone. f**k I hate iTunes.

[UNR33L]

Check in your documents on your computer under a itunes folder or something, sometimes they will be sitting in there

no just the milk bar blocks, and only if I have large quantities of it (like half a block). I'm OK with small pieces. I have tonnes of Picnic (my fav Cadbury) and I get nothing. Also one of the ladies who works with me, her husband works as a manager at the Cadbury factory.

lol @ legit peeps losing shit when updating... lots of people I spoke to are getting this. Just restored all my settings docs music etc to my phone after jailbreaking iOS4. Anyone with a jailbroken phone backs up before updating as a force of habit
