Dude, pictures are excellent. Too bad that R-34 looks toy grade next to the others. I think its the lack of the clip on body. Just doesn't look as serious.

Sweet BM. Who's is it?

mate...what would be the smallest electrical RC car brand/model that would be good for indoor racing... Think i've seen fairly smallish type of car that can take many types of bodies but is still quite nippy... Think they showed it on TV or summin... the bloody thing could drift

something like that might be able go through customs in SL

You could look into the Kyosho Mini-Z's and so on.

Or these - http://preveenr.fotopic.net/c620631.html I believe the scale is something close to 1:28. Nippy. RWD (though you can buy a differential for the front). Very drift happy. Specially on the office floor (office is it's permanent residence.) Extremely modifiable. motor upgrades, suspension, gearing, diffs, tires, rims, bodykits, ground effects, pretty much you name it. Link for that is somewhere on my multiply site. (Which is one of those links down in my sig down there.)

RadioShack XMODS were $50 when I bought it. They phased those out in favor of the XMODS Evolution range, which was about $10 more, if I remember right. But def not 150!

About the same size as mine, as it says 1:27. And I'm thinking ridiculously over priced, specially with an additional $25 for shipping. Just check the Kyosho site to find the prices.

Size indicator.

Hey, Is the Skyline a NIKKO StreetMayhem model?? I wanted one so bad, I told my uncle to buy one, but everytime he goes to Toys 'R' Us it's out of stock. I guess I'll have to settle for something else. Is it good when compared to the Tamiyas??

How much did you spend on it? It's 1:10 I think.

quite irrelevent to dillongt's taste of rc's but didn't know where else to put this...here goes

www.thesun.co.uk

RC Tank

The 6ft long monster is a quarter scale model of a King Tiger, the German weapon which wreaked havoc on Allied tanks in World War Two.

Weighing in at a whopping 250kg, the camouflaged beast of battle has a fully working turret and a 2ft long gun with a realistic recoil action.

And in case you're not getting the full wartime experience, speakers are fitted inside to simulate the tank's distinctive rumbling noise.

The tank is powered by two, 500watt 24volt motors which are so powerful that it can pull a car on a level surface.

It costs £6,600 and is the biggest and baddest of the machines available at Mark 1 Tanks, based in Easton, near Winchester, Hants.

to give the viewer a feel about how big the tank is compared to the car i suppose....much like how the reviewers of car magazines who throw something in the boot to show how big it is comparatively

to be honest they could have used something more exotic or better yet why not the real thing

that would have made more sense and they ought ot have thrown in a car for good measure

afterall , Everything is relative so they say
