I got 3 cars....i 1/8th scale off road, a 1/10the scale off road truck, and a 1/10th scale NTC3. os .18 in the smaller cars, and a .28 in the 1/8th. My little on road cars impossible to drive, it breaks all 4 tires loose from start to finish, and its no fun when 2nd gear kicks in cuz it starts to get sideway:eek:

[an0therh22]

Look at spending between 200 and 400 Depending on what you want.. they are all fun I loved my old RS-4... You can easily spend towards 700 bucks on just a roling chassis but thats a little overkill eh??

[an0therh22]

haha 700? wow i just wanted a hobby so i can stop spending money on my car but hey 700 to my car is so much more worth it i dont think this is the hobby for me i might start fishing now at least thats cheap lol:bump:

[NitroJunkies]

you can pic up a used R/C car for about $100-$150 AND A SET OF OUR DRIFT TIRES and you'll drift just like we do in our videos! :police: www.NitroJunkies.net (http://www.NitroJunkies.net)

Yep, i bought a different car instead of the one that i was talking about. it's got a .18 in it and 2 speed like yours. Even if i find the biggest parking lot that is a whole strip mall with a publix and all sorts of other shit completely empty, it only takes a few seconds to cross the whole thing. and yes, 2nd gear hits it gets squirly. I've found that different pavements determine how much traction you get. I was on one last night across from sidelines on roswell road and you couldn't go above 1/4 throttle without it spinning, and it's got race tires on it.

The one i just picked up ahas a starter box but the engine is pretty new so it's being a pain to get it started sometimes. I had to hook it up to my car battery to get it enough juice to crank the car, but today i couldn't even get it to crank. :( Oh and i think i melted some of the insides of the starter box :-o oops...

Any tips? Should i get a pull starter or something maybe?

[V84lunch]

It shouldn't be that hard to start where it's melting stuff......if thats the case, something is wrong. Might be simple as just getting the motor tuned......or something could be binding, too high of a compression, ect ect......

[ALVIN]

CEN CT-4S for me...73.4 mph out of the box....I have yet to hit 2nd gear. I am too afraid because by the top rpm in first it is already way down the street lol. They are fun and I can drift mine but ever so often...I need a new arm for my suspension because mine ran out of batteries and was stuck in high and I had to step on it to stop it so I could turn it off.

Mine was 360 + tax, shipping, nitro fuel, and starter kit all equaled $425. It is a fun hobby when you arent fixing parts. For those starting...get at least 3 GOOD glow plugs, a couple GOOD chargers or one Heavy duty one (costs over $100 easily), and gears because they rip so easily unless you have metal ones lol.
