Remote control car 1:10 scale of Subaru WRX STI 4 wheel drive model.

running on a 5% ethanol pre mixed fuel available from hobby shops, do not use petrol!

this car little bit dusty as was driven on gravel / loose ground.

comes with a whole bunch of extras still about 3.5 liters of fuel, 2 starter battery, spare glow plug. whole new wheel / rim kit was put on this car for better road driving. along with a recent service of new air filter, glow plug, fuel filter and fuel lines. Comes with a simple to use, remote control, left right and accelerate, with interchangeable idle speeds on the remote. One tank of petrol around 200ml lasts about 20/30mins of drive time, depending on how hard the car is pushed, and engine configuration. top speed of around 60km, hard to say thought have never had a large straight road to fully unleash the engine on.

Drives perfectly, easy to tune the engine and play around with fuel / air mixture to run lean or rich. A all round great car, the car is 4wd and has interchangeable shell, available from most hobby shops.

For local pick up only, as too bulky to post, too many loose items, if desperate can arrange postage *however the fuel CANNOT be posted*. Victoria, 3150.

Melbourne pickup 3150, south east, or can deliver to most eastern / south eastern suburbs for petrol costs.

Asking price is $350 *ono*

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
