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..

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.

now u tell me the city is a rip off >.< haha i went to the place nxt to melb central yer?

man those prices are high can get shit online a lot cheaper but really u only need 1 shell just tyres/wheels u swap around if ur not full into it..

awesome fun..

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 :thumbsup:

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.

yeah theres on on ebay for like 200 bux

but they are gona make reproduction ones

edit:

i have a hpi e10

butchered it- making a custom chassis drill motor powered thing lol

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.

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 :D

    • I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.
    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
