I agree lor.. Its expensive. I used to commit to it back during my secondary & poly days. Will spend mostly on the fuel & the glow plug which normally blows off after an hour.

 

Now married man already cannot liao but I tried to played it once in a while when I'm a "bachelor" just for the day...

Actually JB I would say that comparing fuel based engine & batteries, I would prefer electric based cars. No doubt the power & sound could not be compared to the fuel based types, it would make up a lot for the maintenance & hygiene session.

 

After I played with my car, I'll have to spend at least 2 hours to strip the car and clean the inside. The rubber tyres also got burn off quite easily if I stretch to top speed, and I have to top up the fuel and of course the glow plug.

 

Altogether I spend roughly around $700 for it....

 

Bro y dont u type SGdrifters? I find that their 3rd production is not bad leh... Especially the music..

[cure75]

[Xenophobia07]

I was thinking about this hobby. But what kind of cars to begin with and how much does it cost?

[gloves2ali]

tried b4.. beginer i use a tamiya tt-01d.. but after that feel thats its waste lor.. cos olso 300+ i rather add 100+ to get a Yokomo mr4tc.. better kit.. aiya this hobby must got $$ then can play.. i quickly sell all my rc stuff last year.. cos its quite hard to drift i try it out everyday still very very hard.. keep drift way too far.. haha.. just a kit 2nd hand can cos 200 to 300... if u want good one like Yokomo all this it can cost a bomb..tamiya got 1 new kit 500+ w/o hop ups and transmitter.. lol

[Davin]

R/C hobbies are really for long term one...if you are not sure do you want to pick up this hobby or not then think twice cost giving up half way is gonna put a big hole in your pocket...in the starting this hobby can be more expensive than maintaining your bike but after sometime when you are more familiar on your hands you will eventually spend lesser and lesser...unless your temptation to bling bling your machine cannot stop then you will start to spend really big $$$...

 

I myself fly R/C helicopters and 1 crash is like @#$%&!!!

[Xenophobia07]

Is there like any track for these cars to play on? I remember seeing something like some mini r/c track at East Coast area when I was jogging past.
