makes me wanna go out there and buy one of these suckers. very cool.

 

yea those things are fun...i still would like to purchase one.

 

yeah, these RC cars are awesome. i've got a truck that hits 45 mph, & a car that tops out around 65... incredible little machines.

the little car, with a mclaren f1 gtr body, about 15 inches long or so, hits 60 well before an 8 does.

the truck & car run off of the same engine, but the truck has a driveshaft while the car is run on belts. the engine is a single piston, & its pumps out around 1.3 HP when tuned correctly.

they are an absolute blast to play around with; they have taught me a lot about cars (no rotaries, unfortunately...what a cool project that could be!!!) & patience. for every minute the cars have been running, ive probably spent 5 minutes tuning, tweaking, repairing...oh yeah, & the truck burns 125 mL's of the nitro fuel in about 15 minutes, depending on how hard you run em. it would be interesting if there was a way to figure out its gas mileage, but thats pretty much impossible. i bet its better than the 8 though!!!

 

The first time I saw these things was at 7stock, and I was amazed how fast they are, and well they handle. I guess I just had no idea they were capable of that kind of performance.

 

Yea, I so want to get one too.

 

How much do those things cost?

 

The drifting craze originated in Japan, hell its where every thing driftable is built. I bet those tires eat they're *** up in yen.........cool stuff and a must have hobby.

 

actually, most people just spin them without tires... or something like cut pvc pipes

 

mine were around 400 a pop, plus a considerable amount for replacement parts, tires, gas, tools...& MODS!!!
