nitro rc car

[97LaserRed]

hey im looking to get a nitro rc car. I currently have a electric one and its broke. lol its a off road car. to be honest I dont like it.haha. I was think of getting a on-road nitro car but im not sure wat to look for or where to begin. if anybody knows anything about nitro cars let me know!! I would like to get a 300zx body but im sure its hard to find that. I would also like a sn-95 mustang, or 350z body.

The hpi rtr gas ones are nice,easy to work on and relatively cheap.

hpi or traxxas all the way .. the offroads are awesome and our local hobby shop carrys all the parts for them . i lkie the savage and i love my t-maxx's . only on road i have is rs4 and its crappy .. the smallest gravel can do major damage .. i just put street tires on my stadium trucks and run them on road .....

^i agree. Your best bet for durability is running an off road vehicle. I have a bunch of vehicles, I could sell 1 to you if you are interested.

Get a Truggy. They are sick and durabled for the price. I had the T-MAXX's. They were fun but I deened more so I got an OFNA Dominator. It was sick. Thats the week I dumped $3000 into a hobby that I played with in my driveway. My wife flipped out. HAHAHAHAHAHA

There is a hobby town right in Robinson by the ichiban restaraunt. Check it out.

I was thinking getting the rs4. I heard good things about them. I wanted to try a on road style since I got bored with the electric off road. Does anybody kno where to get the hpi rs4 cheap. Or does anybody have any for sale?

I raced a couple seasons on a clay oval in Winchester, VA. Pretty sure it was called Shamrock Raceway then. I raced in the "stock truck" class which was the electric stadium truck with stock motors. I think my truck is a RC10T2. I picked up an electric TC3 a few years ago, never really did too much with it. It would be cool to go race again, especially in the winter when there isn't much else to do.

+1 on ebay. That's where I got my last one and it was a pretty good deal. I would imagine they pop up on craigslist too every now and then.

[97LaserRed]

what should I look for when buying one? I would like awd and a 2 speed tranny. any pros and cons about that.

i def want a ready to run. are the RS4's a drift style car?

[mineralrob]

ahhh ok cool. the t2 in its time was a good truck. just to update ya they now have the t4.

Cool all you guys used to race..so did I like 15 years ago. I did 1/8th and 1/10th scale clay oval,electric buggy offroad,1/8th gas off road,1/10th and 8th on road touring,bolink legends class and some drag racing classes we made up at the hobby shop i worked at. HPI is a great brand to start..mods out the ying yang. traxxas has come a LOOONG way from what they used to be. But stick to those brands or the more comon ones like Kyosho,Tamiya,Schumy and the like...stay away from CEN and some of its other China built cousins. Ofna is hit or miss. The last r/c vehicle i had was a Tmaxx with a .26 conversion,ofna 2spd,Alien<now hardcore i think>extended chassis and roll cage and Proline big40 chromes wheels with spinners lol...it was a handful at WOT.

tmaxx FTW!! i have a tmaxx and put slicks on it and it does great on the road they have a 2.5 and 3.3. the revo is also fast
