Certainly beats my days of DIY 2-stroke glow-plug engines! Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbeEM...eature=related |

Osvaldo Newhall 09.12.2011 | I also used to race R/C cars. From the mid 80s to the late 90s, I used to race off-road cars. I started from a Tamiya Subaru Brat, then converted it into a Tamiya Frog because it shared the same chassis. Then switched to Tamiya Astute and then bought an FF-01 Tamiya Renault CLio that I eventually converted to FRP chassis and on-road. I stopped racing from 1998 then resumed to that hobby in 2004 when I first seriously raced on-road EP. My car was an HPI Pro4 that I heavily modified. But I switched to another hobby in 2007 and have sold almost all my R/C stuff since then. I miss the hobby but the expenses were killing me. Never ending expenditures. Hahaha!

Tess Faillace 10.12.2011 | the aerodynamics design on it must have been a bitch. Getting something of that size and weight from going airborn at those speeds isnt easy. |

Romelia Stankard 09.12.2011 | Man RC cars have changed since I used to race... I stopped when brushless was still very DIY and was racing with airplane motors and shit in the nitro classes. Now you can get an out of the box 100mph car? what. The RC equivalent of digital vs vinyl was electric vs nitro. I guess electric is more accepted now for speed. |
