[Hell Angel]

I quit RC for more than 10year.Last time buggy was very popular.Now tour car series had take the lead.

[Touch n Go]

ha.. Buggy? it used be the heaven of buggy both in singapore n malaysia..but now only touring car.. hmm it'll be good if the trend is back as buggies are more versatile n reliable..can do stunt, jump, fly!! . touring car canot~ . any1 stil have tamiya electric buggy?

[archenemy]

i was at the dreamcars show & was watching the tamiya RC races..

 

sort of ignited my childhood interest in RC again..

 

dont think i will go into fuel powered ones..maybe battery powered ones which i can play anywhere..

 

any recommendations?

[Touch n Go]

hihi, glad tt u make a wise choice.. .. there are so many electric R/C car brand now..hmm if u like small size, get HPI Micro RS4, it is 4WD belt driven, tons of hop up parts, veri fast!!, polycarbonate body shell n u can design ur own paint scheme, tyres veri long lasting, mine lasts me 2 races n plenty of "car park" rally. hmm if ur lookin for 1/10 scale, Tamiya wil be gd to start but too expensive to mod, HPI cars are easy to set for racing, Yokomo has drift cars n touring cars n its a reliable brand, Maybe u can check out Hobby place at Sembawang shopping centre as it carry quite a number of R/C brand, or Elite racing in orchard plaza. The models i recommend are: tamiya TB-01,TL-01,TA-04,TT-01. Yokomo MR4TC, mini MR4, Drift MR4TC. HPI RS4. hope tis helps.. any queries juz pm me...

The TAs from Tamiya are good and there are races for stock class if you are really into it. But if you want to just play play at home get the mini-Z.

 

If you really want to get deep into racing types. Here are a few Options.

thanks for your help guys..

 

will continue to look around & learn more..

 

actually the reason is...now no money lah!! haaha..

 

btw..i saw those tamiya 1/10 models going at $300..is that considered cheap or expensive?

[comics00]

$300 is kinda lower range car. if u r in for some speed then u will need much more than that. a good controller alone with digital servo strong enough to handle the power set u back $500-$700 depending on brand. if u go for 2nd then prob can get a decent control for mayb 1/2 the original price.

 

btw i've a 3PK & M8 thinking os letting go 1 of them when i m back in sg.

 

personally i go for nitro car though elec car has better pick up on top speed. 'cos its closer to real engine & it has better endur than elec. performance is constance not like elec which depends on the level of charge in the batt. & i get the kick from break-in the engine, tuning and hear it scream when it reach its peak performance once had a 6hr endur race, dont think u will wan to do it with elec model

haha bro u veri power ah!! whack straight from stairs!! Drift! Sg have a forum about R/C drift. R/C drift is fun but difficult to learn, maintenance is very low, the PVC tyre only cost u few $$. Electric are better for drift because the power from motor is constant, u can hold the power to make a drift turn, but nitro cars have engine lack, abit more challenging to hold the power, oso if the tuning not correct u 'll end up engine dying. heh juz my 2 cents. drift forum : http://www.sgdrifters.com. ..

try using GPR tires. they work wonders. Last time i got those from Elite Racing.

The next best is form. usually i'll use front 38. Rear 38. But think Ben will intro 38 front 40 rear

i tried rear 38 & 40 but it just doesn't grip in the mscp mainly due the layer of dust/dirt . saw in mag there r tyres like real life BT/Perillis/ect with thread but yet to try them.

bro maybe try the stock rubber tyre? it should work.. get the traction compound, about $8 and it will give u better grip!
