r/c cars, grip and drift. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

NINJASPY · 10-25-2010, 08:23 PM

anyone drift or race r/c cars?
any interest in ready to run combos?
my friend has a r/c store and I mentioned some interest in r/c drifting from people on this forum. He mentioned that he could put together a ready to run set for people if there was interest. But, the better the parts, the more expensive they would run.

I myself race grip and have a set of drift tires that I occasionally run when I feel like drifting.

Its not a cheap hobby, but its tonnes of fun!! I am addicted and my s14 has not gotten any love(or $$$) recently.

ZenkiKid · 10-25-2010, 09:45 PM

I race monthly.

I have a cyclone S that has an exotek chassis that I run in 17.5 spec.

I have a cyclone TC that i am buildling up as a drift car

and I have an Associated sc10 that i run mod class in.

yes very expensive but at the same time very fun

articdragon192 · 10-26-2010, 02:00 AM

I have a car that I run 1-2 times a month.
Used to drift a Hot Bodies Cyclone S.

Retired that and currently race and drift my Tamiya TA-05 v.2.

JayDee M Rolly · 10-26-2010, 02:26 AM

90hatchie · 10-26-2010, 02:31 AM

NINJASPY · 10-26-2010, 03:13 AM

^wow thats hot! those wheels and those fenders!! ssr type c?
what bodies did you combine(brand)? those headlights!! omg
that wing though... lol
are those extreme dimension fenders?? lol
trim those smoke stacks too! take pics on the road please,, that thing looks real almost.

Arcticdragon192: I spy another car on the left of your pic tamiya trf shocks... only racers write on the inside of the wheels...

ZekiKid: how do you like the sc10? I am thinking about going sc, but can decide kyosho ultima or associated sc10, I want to run stock class or 17.5

Yeah I race with 17.5 speed passion cirtix stock club race unboosted on tamiya trf416x

90hatchie · 10-26-2010, 03:47 AM

i dont have it anymore
but i was doing the bee*r r32.4 before they painted it yellow
(diddnt finish fenders)
the bodys were both tamiyas
spent 70 making the body
sold for 300 for just body

BoostSlideWayz · 10-26-2010, 12:37 PM

i noticed drift cars are mostly electric.. i wanna see some gas powered drift cars.. I have a traxxas jato 3.3 its very fast but not capable of drifting because its rwd and has too much power for only 2 wheels... needs some power to the front wheels and it would be a much more enjoyable car.

fckillerbee · 10-26-2010, 04:05 PM

lol...got one for christmas....drifted it 4 times....broke tie rod. cars sat for almost a year now. lol

*exitspeed* · 10-26-2010, 04:13 PM

I had the black one of these back in the day. And it was fucking bad ass. Fact.

I had the Heads-Up one too.

sc10 is a sick ass car.. I used to run with a slash but slashes are garbage for serious racing. SC10s kinda suck out of the box but once they get dialed in they are amazing SCs. I highly recommend one, you might as well get the FT one since that recently came out. Stay away from blitz's. They are virtual ripoffs of SC10s but have a shitty drivetrain layout that will lead to premature wear

Yup I run the cirtix system too...its fast as fuck considering its unboosted/fixed timing. You should join SOCAL-RC.COM we run races monthly

dude i had one of those too!! i thought it was soo cool because my dad had a hardbody too. My big bro went to the hobby store and bought some Nissan decal set that we put on there, it looked pretty dope taking off the original decals and putting Nissan on the side etc. Those Tycos where pretty dope, i think i also had the head turning buggy too.

lmao very bad ass though.

messed around with my friends and its fun as hell but his trans went out so he hasnt touched it in a few months and he only bought it maybe 4 ago lol

Z_Spool · 10-27-2010, 12:30 PM

Haven't gotten to use it in about a year or so as it's still in CA. It's a good time waster for sure, and a blast at meets and whatnot.

*DALAZ_68* · 10-27-2010, 05:18 PM

sigh...how i miss this thing...

Yeah, another TA05 v.2 with a few more mods than my own. Belongs to my buddy, an editor over at XRC magazine. We race together at SpeedTech RC every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. You should come out. It is very grass roots and lax. Great atmosphere. It's where I started racing.

RyanS13 · 10-28-2010, 03:36 AM

My dad has so many of these things. He probably has like 12 of them. Multiple for every other kind of racing. He has like 3 for oval racing, 3 for rock crawling, 3 for touring car racing, and other ones I'm forgetting.

I had one a couple years ago but I never really got that into it.

My dad goes out there too. Maybe you've met him. His names Bob.

chato de shamrock · 10-28-2010, 07:51 AM

I do it from time to time but since the hobby's slowed down I've gotten lazy to attend any of the get togethers the folks from a local RC drift site create. Before I crashed them into every corner. Sorry about the second picture. If anyone can help make it smaller so that it doesnt take too much space, i'd appreciate it.

hulkster_s13 · 10-28-2010, 09:51 AM

My s13.4 that I made a couple years ago.

pahaf · 10-28-2010, 12:50 PM

^
that looks sick

Super_OK_S13 · 10-28-2010, 04:20 PM

here's mine... i painted this before my 1:1 car was. not too much drift action in central pa. wish i could fly to california or hawaii, seem to be the hotspots!!!

Bubbles · 10-28-2010, 06:25 PM

Dude, I think I had that black one.

Didn't it have a fast and slow switch on the rear diff area?

Thing was fast.

Lol... I was looking at your car in your sig... then I was thinking... who is that? Then I remembered you were rolling on volks ce's. Are you the guy with that axio corolla? I am the dude that rear ended you on the straight in the Amain!! LOL YOU KILLED MY MOTOR!! I only had 8 packs or so on it!(got it used though). Never ran the same after that incident... Your real car is haard man. Made me want to sell my s14 for a second... nicest three'z ive ever seen EVAR!

Wongger · 10-30-2010, 12:03 PM

Where do you guys buy these? Looks cool wouldnt mind picking one up.

90hatchie · 10-30-2010, 03:11 PM

any local hobby shop will have them
theirs all different brands
my competition setup alone with spare parts hop ups electronics and such was around 1200 bucks

Wongger · 10-30-2010, 04:50 PM

Lol, Im not looking for a competition set up. Just something to fool around with in the street.
Any recommendations? (want electric)

Are the ones from Nitrorcx.com any good?

Haha indeed that is me. I still can't figure out a way to keep the rear planted off throttle.
