rc/ car or buddy club p1's

[ALMOSTJDM]

have a debate on what i should do i have a rc car that over the years i invested over 1000 dollars on now i have a friend that has brand new buddy club p1 rims that was given to him dont know how much they cost brand new but he want 300 for them now someone wants my RC for 300 should i sell my RC and buy the rims? help me out

rims are 17x9+22 17x8+17

Those P1's are suspiciously cheap.
I've seen them used go for $900.

[Full-Lock]

ya, that does sound kinda fishy. id talk to someone with real P1's and ask them to tell you if there are any specific markings to look for on the wheel, such as branding on the inside of the wheel. then compare the 2 sets.

there real, he was selling them for a grand but his selling them on the side for cheap just cause he knoes me they come in the box also i guess he needs money :eek2:

[kevtrinh]

buy them now!

[Full-Lock]

ya, then pick them up for sure. if you need the money you could resell

[ALMOSTJDM]

thats true how much do they go brand new?

[mr_240sx]

why sell your RC car for 300 if you have over 1G invested in it? just work over time for a week and get the 300 bucks to buy the wheels.

true but i dont even play with that thing anymore
are buddy club rims any good ?

[McRussellPants]

Ugh, RC Cars are for faggots.

"look at me, I don't have the balls to drive for real so I'm gonna swerve this pos toy through the staging lanes and your conversations and pretend that making it slide is drifting."

sell it, buy the wheels.

[CylonFrakker]

^^^^^Your such a fucking cunt.


Keep the RC Car and work some overtime like Mr 240SX said.

[Wei240]

i'd get the rims no doubt even if it was fake, cheap spare rims to beat on

[Wei240]

^^

yeah i know, i read your post,
but even if it were fake, they're brand new and decent size/offset, it's cheap, a good deal...

[Slidin240Wayz]

What more would you like for us to tell you?

[LB.Motoring]

I would assume these Are the 1pc,

damn a good deal...

get them

[HyperTek]

i will go with rc car for this one.. cuz the fact that you even considered debating rc car over rims.. rims are image... racing the rc car is another story.

i debating selling my old rc car but figured i wouldnt get much out of what i put into it, so a few more weeks of work aint bad to come up wiht the money.

[ALMOSTJDM]

get them

yup the 1pc ill get pics around 1 ish to see if they worth it

[CylonFrakker]

nice get the rims keep the car.

[Team Rootbeer]

i second RC cars are gay.

i used to see all the nerds driving them around the PVC pipe track and nerding it up at the local hobby shop on saturdays when i went to the store next to it. dudes are like 30 and still live at home driving tercels. gay.

but, 8in wide wheels are equally as lame.

[CylonFrakker]

I'm sure you do think they are gay. But every one has a hobby. it all depends on what you like to do. Some cycle, some skate, some do R/C. Its just as competitive as any form of racing.

very true theres always going to be competition but any ways more people are saying get the rims then the rc car

[blackflag_Rms13]

Why let us decide for you?

['90RPS13]

I'm with Supraflame. And If I am not mistaken, thats a Supermaxx in his sig. Supraflame, am I right?

I use to have 3 Tmaxx's and they are pimp. I had well over $1,500 into my SuperMaxx.

MCRussell, WTF? There were R/C cars way before drifting came to the US. Further more, since when does owning a R/C car or truck make you a drifting poser? haha, DRIFTING THIS, DRIFTING THAT? Get a fucking life.

Work some extra hrs, keep the R/C and buy the P1's.

*a

[SlowCoupe]

i say keep the r/c car. shit is fun as hell. i need to get my r/c truck up and running again...another money pit!

[Wei240]

in terms of monetary value, get the rims,

because you can sell them for at least what you pay for, probably alot more, and spend on the r/c if you wish...

[!Zar!]

I have over 45 rc cars And I have helicopters/boats/planes also.I'm sponsored by Team Kyosho. I'm also Manager of Norcal Hobbies. Rc is only gay if you can't afford it or if you give up sex for them.


Tell me which rc car you have and I'll tell you right now if it's worth it.

People all the time have some weak ass rc cars and think that paying for maintenance = 1k. When in reality it's only worth $100.

Ok, all that means is that its been lamer for longer than drifting has been in the US.

Shits dumb as fuck, cheesing around RC cars is gayer than bug chasing, paintball and corrolas all combined.

whoo hoo RC cars are so fast. the way they bounce across parking lots and/or a dirt mound I kicked up with my foot is SO INTENSE. OMG 1 foot of air and then it crashed, SO DOPE!

Every person over 20 I've ever seen in possesion of an RC car that cost more than 50$ is a dumbass, it happens that I only see them at drift events because I'm not lame enough to go to RC CAR RACEZ or Car Shows, or Hobby Lobby. they cheese them through the staging lanes and into peoples ankles, trying to show that RC cars are just as cool as the real thing or something.

The super cool guys will take them on to the pad where we're driving and flip them so that we have to wait while they go get it. whooo hoo, thanks breh.

ugh, this thread sucks, trying to justify spending 1000$ of dollars on a pile of plastic that cost china 1 cent to produce is wack.

This novel of a fucking reply is wack.

Thanks Guys For Helping Me

[kensreliableb18b]

looks great. for people saying the price sounds fishy i say no....i bought p1's for a good price 6 years ago and ended up selling them for 350 with tires.

ALMOSTJDM: remember to post pics of the wheels on ur car :)

[Wei240]

man, that's cheap, especially for that size/offsets, usually all i see are wack fwd sizes...

ken, you sold yours for 350 w/ tires? apparently you didn't check out the classifieds here, mine sold for about twice as much and in 16X7.5

[kensreliableb18b]

needless to say i was desperate for money at the time ;)

[Zero-Offset]

put that shit up on ebay, youll get more than 300 bucks. then buy some decent tires with the money you made selling the rc

[ALMOSTJDM]

thanks for the help guys !!!!

[GSXRJJordan]

Great rims, and glad you got to keep the car - sorry to say but I'm with McRussel, the only guys I see driving RC cars are lame/hermits/gay/drive lame cars/etc but I dont doubt that cool/straight/240-driving guys might also be into them lol. Ugh, why can't I have friends that have nice rims and need money that bad ~ all my friends play poker when they need money and never sell anything.

Late reply but you should've traded him. But you came up with both, so that's cool.

[Full-Lock]

in those pics they look close to those Granades. pretty rad deal...

[LB.Motoring]

ahaha damn, sell them to me :P

['90RPS13]

Gay? Plastic? Worth .01?

Well, This is 110% American Made and well worth over .01. Sorry. Being able to go 70mph and jump a fucking house isnt to gay to me.
