hutchyvw 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Suppose this does class as car chat :) but not sure if you'll be able to help? i'm considerin gettin one of these, soon. i'll be lookin for a 1/10th scale , touring car style. would'nt mind a corrado body if poss and do a bit of a replica to mine. BUT.......i'll only have about £300 maximum to spend. i might be able to salvage some radio gear from one of my 'old projects'. So may not need that. has anyone got any recommendations of new or used cars for sale?? much appreciated 8) hutchy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hutchyvw 0 Posted September 29, 2004 ooops :oops: too late just bought one, its got a novarossi .15 racing engine with an uprated exhaust and air filter(said proudly with no idea what i'm talking about ) :) its a new shape 911 body. i'll definitely have to look out for matchsticks though coz it does 60-70 mph :shock: any news on the corrado bodies, i know there was a thread a while ago but i can't find it :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 0 Posted September 29, 2004 I hope you find somewhere safe to drive it mate... I'm a member of the BRCA (British Radio Control Association) as race 1/10th at National events... they have insurance as part of the membership cost and well worth considering getting... Also make sure you fit a fail safe. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banana Man 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Definately get a fail safe best £15 you'll ever spend on the car I once had my reciever batteries die on me in my old nitro truck and it decided to go wide open throttle on me with no way of stopping it!!! It ended up in a pond for 3 days, eventually got it out of the manky water and it was dead as a dodo :( :D :D As for the corrado shells you wont be able to get one till I say so :D I will do another group buy in the next month or so hopefully but cant guarantee anything yet!! Is the car you've bought second hand or new??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
