Madarmour Neutral Newbie January 28, 2003 Share January 28, 2003 Bros, Any of you here indulge yoursef in radio controlled cars? Nitro powered RC cars? Saw some guys playing with these cars at Marina South yesterdays and sort of got infected. Quite keen on getting an offroader 4X4. Need advise. Thanks! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super7 Turbocharged January 28, 2003 Share January 28, 2003 (edited) my bro also has a gas engined 4x4 with monster tyres....... lemme borrow from him (actually i paid for it but he did the assemblying) and let's have some fun.... there are some touring cars with 156 body racing around.....

Madarmour Neutral Newbie January 28, 2003 Author Share January 28, 2003 (edited) Actually I am looking at this brand called Kyosho. What I want is versality. The Buggy and Scooby share the same chassis. With different set of wheels/tyres and body, I can switch between these two. The monster truck is a different thing altogether. Have you made any research? I'll be going to Hobby Bug at Marina South with Richard today at 3.00pm for a fact-finding mission. If you are free, drop by.

Madarmour Neutral Newbie January 28, 2003 Author Share January 28, 2003 Monster truck? Cool........ What brand is it? Any advise you can offer? Not really keen on those low bodied racing cars as I need to play them at proper tracks so no 156 for me.

Gymnut Neutral Newbie January 28, 2003 Share January 28, 2003 I recently got myself a Subaru Impreza WRC RC for kicks . It's powered by NiCad batteries though . Believe me, it's powerful for me already. However, wouldn'y mind trying my hands on a nitro powered machine though . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged January 28, 2003 Share January 28, 2003 i have collected/accumulated parts enough to put together 2-3 rc cars but they will look like chapchai........ it's fun to 'create' something from 'junks'...... when you guys get your new rc machines, watch out for my 'frankinstein' machine hor..... dun play play.....

Assassin Clutched January 28, 2003 Share January 28, 2003 Dont they come with standard controllers or must we buy separate controllers and tune the frequency ? Where's a good web site to read up on RC ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged January 28, 2003 Share January 28, 2003 see ya there at around 3pm..... .... the couple who runs the shop are Benny and ........ (oopps, forgot her name, but she drives a Honda S2000, Benny drives a T4, maybe T5 now.......), nice couple and very helpful....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged January 28, 2003 Share January 28, 2003 i think you are making the good choice:- off-road with either rex or buggy body... can play anywhere and no need to look for flat track........ ........ you will enjoy 'playing' with different settings for camber, toe-in, castor, shock rates, spring rates, gear ratio, AF mixture, throttle setting, etc etc........
