Mini RC cars.

The tamiya m3 looks so much better than the hpi

[AndrewBird]

only 180 dollars? is that the whole chassis and everything? and its not RWD?
is it zippy?

Here it is:

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGXB3&P=7

It comes as a kit with no electronics. That means you need to buy the kit, a motor, speed controller, transmitter and receiver, battery and charger and also paint for the body as it comes clear. It is AWD, though to make it only RWD, all you would have to do is remove the center driveshaft.

If you don't want to have to build the kit and want something that is ready out of the box, you can buy just the body, then fit it to any 1/10 scale car.

Does anyone have a battery charger for a TA-01 chassis?

[AndrewBird]

Any charger will work, doesn't matter what car you have. Only get complicated with LiPo batteries. I've got one of these and like it:

Simple one button control, will charge Ni-Cad and NiMH, but not LiPo's and is cheap.

Fuck. This is really making me want to bust my Traxxas trucks out again. But alas money needs to go to more important things: (

[spike68]

I used to have a Nitro Traxxas truck that i used to use everyday, but I blew the motor and never had the money or time to fix it. Its still sitting in my garage. Not sure what i want to do with it.
I might just sell it.
Any takers?

OMG you are my hero, my fucking dog bit my M3 body and I couldn't find just the body to replace and was going to just buy a whole car again. Thanks for link to just body.

My old nitro rs4 belt drive. 2 speed, full carbon graphite, low gears. Shit is a pita to up keep but who cares when I push 75mph on my street. Sometimes race this thing at the local hobby shop on Sundays.

I have the RTR nitro, not so modified as your but I put the 2 gear system in mine, crazy fucking fast. When it shifts it's fucking un-controllable in a turn, smashed it into a wall at probably 50mph and crushed all the suspension

My TT-01 chassis M3.:p

[mbonanni]

I have had multiple rc cars, in fact I have probabaly dropped more in rc cars ove rthe five years I did then than I have my car, including the price.

I used to have a Losi micro t, they are about 5 inches long and that thing went about 30 mph.

Also used to have a rc18t, full carbon fibre chassi, shock tower, brushless mtoro lipo batteries. whew, super fast.

I have two 1/10 rwd trucks in peices, two t-maxx's in peices, and a chepo on that need a $10 part to fix it.

They are money pits, do not get into them if you struggle with your e30.

yes i was into the align helicopters and the r/c hobby is deffinately costly. especially when you are first starting out. i cant tell you how many rotors and shafts i went through before i got good at flying it.
