[Annie]

Nope not anymore I moved up in the world & got a nova :)

[xxspudxx]

Used to race a FG 1/5th scale nationally, got to expensive and slowly people stopped doing it so it got boring. Great fun though, better than 1/8th and 1/10th scale imo!

[nova josh]

no this is 1/10 and 12th pan cars

[draper]

i buy 1 every now and again to play with, normally end up crashing it or stripping it and never building it back up then flogging it (same as my actual cars as far as that goes)

[nova josh]

love the idea mate i do the same somtimes

[Martingsi]

ive got a mardave v12 i do banger racing with, good laugh
got a tamiya i try and drift haha
and a hpi nitro rush

[nova josh]

[Martingsi]

[nova josh]

I've a Tamiya DF-03 buggy with a 9t brushless and 7.4v lipos, its great fun!

Also have a TL-01 Touring car with and Astra and Calibra shell.

I'm picking up an older TA03 Belt drive Calibra Cliff next week, New in box never built!

I'm looking to get a 6900kv mamba max brushless system and 11.1v lipos for my buggy soon. It'll do about 60mph then!

Obviously the above were newly built, they are now battlescared, and the buggy is on it's second chassis LOL

my brother has got an avante df03 that will be forsale when fixed and i run a 3.5 turn and 40c 5000mah battery in a 2wd buggy

[krobinson]

DF-03 is a good chassis, but the alloy pinion wears. Especially when running brushless and lipo power, they can get crazy fast!

[nova josh]

he left the rc scene a while back and has got rid of everything apart from this df03 thats not very exciting thoe

[krobinson]

I don't go to meets or race, mine are just a hobby to pass the time. After I'd finished building the Nova I started collecting the RC stuff.

Although other brands can be better than Tamiya, I prefer to build Tamiya's, and I like their old skool stuff, like the Grasshopper and Lunchbox.

[Pistol Pete]

IIRC Ernie used to do alot of RC stuff. Not sure if he does anymore.

[nova josh]

yeah i know the oldest car i have had was a corally pan car but it got to expensive to run but i love my buggy

[Hobbit]

I've got a 1/6th lotus elise, is pretty fast. Too fast actually, everytime i fix it i smash it up and it cost loads to fix. It currently has most of its front end missing lol

[nova josh]

love it is it nitro and nothin is to fast

[Hobbit]

Its a schumacher big 6
