Nitro Cars

[gtst25]

Hi all,

Anyone got nitro rc cars here? Just bought this one on a whim - 2.6 horsepower, does 38500rpm, does huge jumps and a top speed of 50mph.

Cheers

i had a nitro car a while ago. it was a road car though.. theyre fun little things. i sold it and recently bought an electric one. the nitros are such a bitch to maintain and hard to drift.

but the buggies look fun. theyre the only nitros i'd buy.

i dont think the bigger motors need to be richened up when they get hot, the smaller ones do so you're lucky there

Nitro RC cars are a lot of fun. I used to have a Tamiya TG10 and for about 12 months it kept me entertained every weekend. I gave it up in the end because it was starting to cost me too much to run. It seemed every time I took it out for a run something would break on it, and it was usually something that was expensive to replace.

But anyway, I've been thinking about getting another one lately, probably an off-road buggy this time though.

Yeah, got an R34 calsonic skyline, It's in my avatar. Haven't got it out for ages though...

Heaps of fun when you tape up the wheels. Really slippery.

Cool fellas, thanks for the replies. It's been running faultlessly since I blew up the front cv joint, then the rear diff pinion - just a manufacturing fault as it's been running great since.

Will take some pics of it midair tomorrow.

Cheers
