Anyone in to nitro rc cars

[Danny s-p]

getting one for my birthday off a family member so i can go race it with him every so often at his mate farm. he say it a large tarmac place we will be on so no need for a buggy so just want some advice he says i have 150 -200 pound to spend on it was think of the link below so then i can spend the rest on finding a cav jtcc shell and make a cav turbo rep

Hi mate the car you was looking at on your 1st post i have 1 of them myself there quick little things but the only thing i say is if your going to drift them then id change the servo to a heavy duty one as they pack up very quick. The wheels that come with it dont last long on the tyres either but they are fun i have a few sets of wheels with mine including drift wheels but good fun :thumb:

[ryansnova]

i have had about 20 nitro cars lol

atm i have a mardave mini stock a hpi baja clone and a traxxas t-max

[pie]

same ere dude i got a 1/8 associated redbull truck

servo meaning the bit that turns the steering id get a metal geared one

drifting leccy ones you just lock the diffs etc

on nitro you got to change oil i the box

These things are good for drifting but i wouldnt use rubber tyres to do it on road as it kills the tyres very quick i bought drift wheels off ebay but there hard there not rubber but dont wear out. By servo i mean the throttle servo mate its in the picture on your 1st post if you look :thumb:
