[slothonaleash]

I have no idea how much time/effort goes into these things.... but that is a gorgeous car haha

[Phlip]

That is really fucking nice.

[shinhed]

Sweet! Lemme guess, HPI chassis? I'm a Tamiya man myself.

Post some pics with the body off.

[CrimsonRockett]

For an RC car, that's bad ass.

I need to buy some plastic cement already to finally start building my model cars.

Argh.

[cxlo8331]

pics w/o lexan body?

[Flicktitty]

that is badass!

[tr4c3]

Awesome! I'm guessing HPI as well? I had a nitro rs4 back in the day and a traxxas 4tec (along with so many more haha). Rc was so fun.

[SimpleS14]

That's pretty cool.


Can I buy it from you? :keke:

[JayDee M Rolly]

[MongolPup]

Wow. The wheels are amazing. I'm not sure I have the patience for that type of thing haha

[SimpleS14]

Any info on how a n00b like myself can jump into this hobby?

[90hatchie]

awd is needed for drifting
look into a tamiya ta05 chassis very well balanced and priced well
Tamiya Raybrig NSX 2005 TA05 Kit (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLKT6&P=7)
electronics
put a 27t motor in it like a co27 really good motor
for an electronic speed controller id look into this
DuraTrax IntelliSpeed Auto-Sport Forward/Reverse ESC (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGZX1&P=7)
its pretty decent and its got reverse
radio and servo up next
Futaba 2PH 2-Channel AM/1 S3003 Servo (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXASX2**&P=7)
comes with a servo and u should be good with it till u wanna move up but if u want a better one right away get a hitec 625mg

batterys should be atleast 3000mah and 6 cell
pick up like 2 or three of these Associated Wolfpack 6C 7.2V 3000mAh NiMH Stick Std Plug (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTJH3&P=ML)

now were up to the charger
DuraTrax Piranha AC/DC Digital Peak Charger NiCd/NiMH (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXCLD5&P=7)
its pretty decent and has a lcd screen so u can see the amount going into ur batterys and u can keep track of ur batterys life

tires
i reccomend the hpi t drift tires as their really nice mix of abs and rubber
HPI T-Drift Tire 26mm (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXSGF3&P=7)
ur gonna need 2 sets

u can go to genkidoridori.com to view wheels and bodys and upgrades and stuff

[muddafakka]

That's awesome.

The funny thing about that RC 350Z is that it has better wheel fitment that a lot of real Zs.

I'm going to get in the hobby...someday.

[BRAIN_Z33]

[hpipro4]

That's pretty cool.


Can I buy it from you? :keke:

[Gordo714]

[speedgod^s13]

Nitros are ok, but for drifting i'd pick an electric any day. Nitro is way too fast. Kind of takes the grace out of drifting.

[thestreetzking]

I had a tt01, I miss that thing, wish I could get another but it does get expensive quick
