you can get either apparntly electric is better cos for drifting it gets quite hot and not enough air flow to coool a nitro motor.

i paid $600 for mine, car,remote,long life battery and charger. can get em for like $250 but u get what u pay for.. could pay heaps more but fek that

theres tracks in hoppers next to all green one indoor one outdoor havent tried em yet though..

ah yeah, more than I'd wanna spend on something I'm not really into and would no doubt be over pretty quickly haha.

I bought a nitro car off a mate years ago coz he was selling it cheap, more hassle than it was worth at the end of the day...Took it to the hobby joint near all green once too

I use to get my hobby supplies from there when I use to live in Point Cook.

Quite a good store.

Yeah, mine and Alex's Tamiya R/C Car is the Expert Built (XB) model and is electric.

Everything is pre made / assembled + remote.

I bought a battery as well.

It cost $450 for the R/C car but I bought that in the City, which they fully rip you off.

The hobby store in Box Hill was selling it for $350, same package set up too.

Yeah I got over it a bit, but now I should really get back into it, just kept putting it off.

Gotta friend in my area who got a R/C Car too and hopefully head down the track soon.

It's all money at the end of the day, Body Shells can cost $50 - $70 then you got to paint it ($10 - $12 a can of paint).

Buy a set of decent wheels to suite you look (If you want) Wheels come in a pair = 1 set = $15 - $17

Since you need 4 wheels you need to buy 2 sets = ($30 - $34)

Then you need to buy the tyres, so I just went the cheaper tyres = $27 - $30 a set of 4 tyres.

You can easily spend up to $117 - $146 each time you want to do up a R/C Car.

Also depending on how many colours you want to paint it or you can save on wheels and tyres.

now u tell me the city is a rip off >.< haha i went to the place nxt to melb central yer?

man those prices are high can get shit online a lot cheaper but really u only need 1 shell just tyres/wheels u swap around if ur not full into it..

awesome fun..

Yep, that's the place, the Hobby store next to Melb Central carpark.

Yeah, I just have a lot of ideas when it comes to R/C Cars, that's why I wanted all those body shells and wheels :thumbsup:

Mix it up a bit I guess.

http://www.genkidoridori.com/ - These guys are fucking mad!

http://www.hpiracing.com/drift/ - These guys make some decent accessories but the body shells are kinda shit.

Their wheels are great + their "Bling Kits" which come with exhaust muffler / intercooler / mirrors are great.

yeah theres on on ebay for like 200 bux

but they are gona make reproduction ones

edit:

i have a hpi e10

butchered it- making a custom chassis drill motor powered thing lol

I dunno what it is, but Cadbury milk choc gives me a very slight allergic reaction. Nestle, lindt etc are all fine, just cadbury, and only their milk choc, their white, mixed and dark is fine.

haha thats interesting, ill run it past the sensory team at work tomorrow and see what they say. Cadbury produces a range of different types of chocolate recipes. Picnic uses a different chocolate recipe to the blocks and Cherry Ripe has dark chocolate. Do you get any reaction to these chocolate bars?

How did you win 10kg of chocolate?

some marketing internal competition. Had to spread the word about the new fairtrade chocolate etc.

no just the milk bar blocks, and only if I have large quantities of it (like half a block). I'm OK with small pieces. I have tonnes of Picnic (my fav Cadbury) and I get nothing. Also one of the ladies who works with me, her husband works as a manager at the Cadbury factory.

lol @ legit peeps losing shit when updating... lots of people I spoke to are getting this. Just restored all my settings docs music etc to my phone after jailbreaking iOS4. Anyone with a jailbroken phone backs up before updating as a force of habit :D

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
