the owner of this one that i bought it from said it was good for about 80 mph  :shock:  :shock:
i have a bit of renovation work to do , so it should keep me busy while im waiting for my landie to come back.

so who else has one then.......nitro car that is

IMHO dont bother, the chassie looks like a bad/cheap copy of an old Tamiya one, and its just awful.

I have a T-Maxx, and a Cen funfactor truck. :D  and two Landy bodies to paint and prep to fit on.

Tmaxx £200, plus maybe another £200 on other bits an pieces.

That for nitro powered models. :D

and the rubber tyres are filled with air
Duh..  oh and why would they sell it with spare parts included, unless they know those bits break first.

Its your choice though. I might be wrong.

I got me boy one of these for Crimbo 2 years ago.
It's just so fast !!!!
And with my hand/eye coordination it spends most of it's time broken  #-o
One good thing they're made in Northampton so not to far to fetch bits.

I use to be into RC cars in a BIG way!

Had loads of Tamiya stuff, and offroad buggies, mostly 1/10th scale and all electric.
The ones that were most fun was a Tamiya ClodBuster, a HUGE 4x4x4, a Tamiya Pajero Shogun, very realistic, and an AWESOME thing called a JackRabbit which was 1/8 or 1/6th scale with a 23cc chainsaw type engine in it!!! :twisted:

Still got it in bits somewhere, along with the Pajero too!! :D
