R35 R/c Drifter

[SCR48]

got a tad lazy and havent taken real photos of my new shell but its as pictured here... thinkin about painting it a stock colour though... what do you guys think? Maybe like a matte black or matte blue look? Also will i just be able to spray the paint over whats on it or?

You might want to strip the stickers off and give the shell a good clean to clear off any abrasive from the stickers.

Or use it as a practice shell and buy another shell and paint that up.

i just missed out on buying a TA-05 rc car from the sale threads in these forums... dahmm to late... and it was only $110 for the whole kit...

im really interested in buying one... do you guys recommend any other online websites that you use to buy you rc stuff...

iv herd mixed reviews about RC-Mart

i might just look around RC forums for something second hand to come up again...

or some1 could organise a group buy on RTR RC drift cars... maybe the TT-01D...

[Mohsen]

wait out a bit

tamiya just released R32 GTR drift kits!

WITH REAL LIGHTS!

frontline hobbies is where i get all my hobby parts from and even my tt01-Type E

they have heaps more in shop than the site shows.

I am thinking of getting a TT-01 type D but i duno if it would be worth it. The type E lets me go fast and not have a such bad time as the normal TT01 when doing 80km would be impossible for it.

Thats my chassis with the parts i use to help me get that good cornering.

wana sell me your R35 rims?

i think they would look sexy on my R34

[Mohsen]

R33's are indeed rare. Getting your hands on the road going version is virtually impossible but I was lucky enough to score a couple of brand new R33 GTR N1 kits (now sold).

The wide body race spec R33's aren't my thing.

You can spot the Sard Supra too. Hard to get stuff.

For R32's, HPI make them for around 50 bucks. They lack the detail of Tamiya but will be fine if your looking at using it as basher.

hey AU92 are you still in contact with the guy who bought the R33?

ive searched all of ebay US, europe, malaysia and oz and found nothing

even if you find a banged up POS shell destined for the bin

pm me please! i want to make moulds and make up my own copy

Wow.. I got to the level with my TT01 where the next thing to do was start upgrading all the control arms with alloy bits etc then decided not too.. it's hard to justify spending 3x the original price of the car!

I have some TT01 hopups I could be persuaded to part with..

[central coast person]

yeah but i did get them at a good price of like $175 all up and the guy that i see all the time at the hobby shop only gave me what it needed. The type E is good for racing but i do want a Type D to drift....

i probily wouldnt part with the rims because i don't think tamiya make them separately and there sweet quality

[bubba]

My NiMH stickpacks are dying so when I went to get some new rims for my truck yesterday.. had a look at some LiPo's.. my brushless can handle up to 3S but I can only physically fit 2S in the chassis.. it's like a $400 excercise to go LiPo! so I guess it can wait until my real skyline is back on the road

[HomeDawwg]

$400 for lipos? U planning on racing or something? Or was that a few batteries. Ive seen plenty of well prices lipos online that will do the job for drifting, and a lot cheaper than the LHS wants for the same thing

[britz1]

sweet little cars i used to have a nitro one there shit go electric

Hey,

Yeh I do but i highly doubt he'll part out the body with the kit and even if he did you'd be looking at a VERY large amount for the body alone

As for Lipo's. They are cheap nowadays. Just make sure you look after them as I've heard of Lipo's exploding

[Mohsen]

any chance you can ask him how much he wants for the body?

is it still unpainted?

[bin]

Actually I have had a Tamiya R33 GTR Loctite shell for quite some time.

Yea I hoard lotsa rc collectibles, especially Tamiya stuff lol.

Anyway, here's some pics of some of my shells.

[Mohsen]

bin

can ya post pics of your R33 shell?

u wana sell it?

[bin]

The shell is unpainted and still in plastic inside the original box.

So the most I can take is a pic of the box lol.

Not really willing to sell, unless I'm made a fantastic offer I can't refuse. ITS REALLY RARE!

[Mohsen]

you have pm
