martydaman Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 that thing might have impressive acceleration but i want to see that thing on a track... i cant imagine having 8 wheels as being in any way beneficial round a bend Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/56929-wont-this-be-fun-and-interesting/#findComment-1101080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammus Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 very stable... kinda hard to break traction. HICAS would be useful Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/56929-wont-this-be-fun-and-interesting/#findComment-1101086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkenmaster Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I have been watching this car do laps several times on local Tv and had no idea what the whole show was on about You should see the batteries, its like a whole floor pan that slides in.

pentae Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 electric cars are the future.. once most of chinas population is driving cars in about 5-10 years and have more people buying petrol than the americans, petrol bowsers are going to be a thing of the past as soon as the oil prices triple, which will mean a direct translation to the petrol pump. I bitch about $60 to fill my tank now.. in 10 years it wont suprise me if we're looking at $150-$180 for the same tank. My GTR truly will be a weekend car, and 5 years later be old enough to qualify as a classic car Assuming I still have it by then..

shaolin Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Lithium Ion Batteries have quite a punch... They have more power and less weight than the nI -cads but from my limited knowledge in RC they can be quite unstable....They burst into flame if you drop them hard enough or over charge them ... I am sure there would be less wheels when they have more powerful electic engines...

someonestolecc Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I heard about that car a while ago... i like it looks sick. Imagine in 20-30yrs time the first electric GTR... FAT! Better yet a revival of the 60-70's shaped cars with electric engines!! I'd love to see my GT back on the road without having to pay for the petrol (sure no v8 growl but you can't have it all). ... well.. actually I'm dreaming that won't ever happen, I can see the men in black suits arriving now. :uzi: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/56929-wont-this-be-fun-and-interesting/#findComment-1101427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 The torque of elec. engines is what is impressive. As for the sound issue.. I'm sure these little things can be modified http://www.sunamiturbo.com/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/56929-wont-this-be-fun-and-interesting/#findComment-1101439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
