MZpog 10 Posted June 2, 2015 Looks tip top. Are they available in 1/8 scale? If so I'd drop one on my toy. [ATTACH=CONFIG]81703[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZpog 10 Posted June 3, 2015 i don't think they do unfortunately Never mind, I expect it wouldn't last long off-roading at 50mph anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted June 3, 2015 Great stuff. That cen racing car was one of the first to go over 60 or 70mph I think.☺ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted June 3, 2015 I bought an FG Marder from Kev on here, sold it now though, was crazy but every trip out meant having to replace something i'd broke :lol: And had a 1:10 Skyline, which i also sold now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted June 3, 2015 some serious cars there! I've got a Traxxas T-Maxx still in the box and an HPI Racing M3, also boxed. Bought an old Schumacher ProCAT about 2 years ago, started tidying it up and its still half way there. Just bought a new motor which does around 30,000 rpm, so i wonder how long the car will last. How quick was the Marder? Over 60 I'm sure? Used to run an SG Leopard back in the 80s. Big old beast, but almost indestructible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted June 3, 2015 Haha, I used to have a procat, think I still have a box load of parts for it. I used to race 1/10th scale off road rc cars regional and a couple of nationals. Havnt done it for years but have an x-factory x5, basically a single belt converted losi xx4, was awesome but no pictures of it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billzeebub 1 Posted June 3, 2015 Some good memories here. I bought one of the Tamiya Avante re-releases in 2011. Absolutely love that car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZpog 10 Posted June 4, 2015 Seems that lots of us still have RC cars, my first was a Tamiya Wild One. What was you first kit? Never raced properly as no tracks round here, plus my current Kyosho MP7.5 Kanai 2 is running a .28 so wouldn't be allowed. The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.

borarob 0 Posted June 4, 2015 first kit I had was a Tamiya Falcon, always wanted a tamiya lunchbox, which i duly got when they re-issued them. I have many cars, will post some more pics! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martinb 0 Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) First one I ever had was a Tamiya Blackfoot (although I always wished I got the Monster Beetle instead). Ive still got a few, between myself and my boy we currently have (from memory): Tamiya Lunchbox Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin Tamiya Grasshopper (X2) Tamiya Subaru Impreza Tamiya Twin Detonator I've also built an RC Corrado as a mini replica of my G60 - based an an Ansmann ARE-2 Chassis: *yes I realise I put the rear light stickers on upside down :( :) Edited June 4, 2015 by martinb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mic_VR 3 Posted June 4, 2015 some serious cars there! I've got a Traxxas T-Maxx still in the box I've been trying to convince a colleague to give up his T-Maxx so I can rebuild it. The motor is fubared but the rest is good.... apparently. Didn't realise so many had RC cars. Never had any myself but if I can get hold of this one I will.

Jim Bowen 1 Posted June 4, 2015 I actually bought one of those mini matchbox car sized rc cars to drive around my desk at work, they come in a coke can sort of thing.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerfish 10 Posted June 4, 2015 Cool thread :) I've had a few over the years, never gone to nitro though. Tamiya Frog Mardave Mini Tamiya Lambourghini Countach Mardave Stock Marui Samurai Currently still have the samurai and a Kyosho Turbo Optima. The optima has been converted to brushless, so is crazy fast for electric :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
borarob 0 Posted June 4, 2015 i did that when i put them on mine. the way the decals curve suggests that is the right way! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
borarob 0 Posted June 4, 2015 if anyone wants to get into this cheaply try http://www.hobbyking.com they have a uk warehouse which has some of the stock in. some really cheap - but good - i can testify to that - kit there... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted June 4, 2015 Electric cars are now going around 50-60 mph too. I had tamiya tyrrell 6 wheeler tamiya frog modded sandscorcher kyosho tomahawk sg leopard Yes as above didn't realise so many had cars. Ive still got radio race car from 1983 plus the tamiya guide books. What a dweeb I know :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
borarob 0 Posted June 4, 2015 This is my other mini me. Originally a pure Tamiya TT-01 touring car, I have upgraded the chassis to carbon and among many other mods fitted a brushless electric motor. This thing is the fastest I have, quicker than my nitro cars. In fact its too quick and scares the bejesus out of me. I put drift tyres on to make it semi usable!
