My new toys

[feilong108]

one word to describe-IMPRESSIVE....gosh...i can't imagine what mods u did with your real life car....must be a 480hp supercar..

[decksurgeon]

I also have a Xray NT1 fully modded.
this is full EU manufacture and Carbonfiber+composite.
IMHO the Rolly royce of R/C cars

And the best tools to get the job done are by HUDY.

[wmatt76]

wow..GP cars very loud..i dun think can play below my block..

wanted to get this hobby a few years ago but no kakis or friends. Any experts wanna teach me? how to start this hobby?

which is good, battery or run with petrol type?

[decksurgeon]

battery or gas power.

depends on your playing environment... is noise an issue???

getting started, very dangerous man. can be like the black hole no budget F1 style with the top end cars and equipment.

allocate 10K can get u a very very nice set up with all the bells and whistles gear wise. and i mean everything from German made credit-card size microprocessor controlled chargers to the top end EU made R/C tools, Japanese Frequency hopping controllers with digital servos - every parameter including the frequency pulse of ABS application and braking/throttle curve can be adjusted! etc etc

there is lap timing gear also and micro cameras to mount also if youre into that

R/C....it's like Mini F1. poison deep deep!

who said carbon fiber, titanium and composites had to cost you 800k for a track car?

enjoy!

start this hobby is relatively easy..depending on your budget lah..basic drift cars can get around 400+ without batteries and charger..good lipo batteries cost around 170-80 for 5000mah and charger around 200..

petrol car got sound so more realistic but quite messy because of gasoline etc..

depending on what you wanna play, if drifting must use electric..drifting will overheat gasoline engines..

nowadays lipo batteries also can last you 2 hours plus after an hour of charging..

bro..heard that electric cars dun really need throttle curve? it will function better with GP cars?

[decksurgeon]

you can adjust the throttle curve for all cars electric and GP.
with the GP - in the high end, you can adjust the clutch bite point and how it bites and also sometimes there is a 2 speed gearbox with a centrifugal clutch to be adjusted also.

if you are into Drift, GP is not for you.
for drift - you need high and instaneous torque at the wheels, sometimes at low speeds. the electric DC motor is the perfect piece of equipment as the principal of function is instant torque at any RPM. nitro engine does not have this characteristic.

which shop to buy the GTR? is this the mini Z?

how much to get a reasonable drift battery operated car?
where i can get a good bargain?
any webby for me to explore more (or poison more)?
haa haa....

[decksurgeon]

have a friend with a Tamiya car + everything else.
near mint im told. his baby came along and now he does not have time now for it. he is asking ~ $700 for everything, car+transmetter+charger etc.
he paid 4 digit prices when it was new. so its a steal basically.

if you are interested, PM me, i put u in touch with him.

the other place to get bargains is:

correct lor..gp cars got clutch..so need to throttle to a certain level before the cluth engages...
