tamiya nitro ford focus

[masterofinsanity]

sound then... this is it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... CA:GB:1123 .what do you think..... buy it now is £300 haha no way from me........
how do you spend 3.5k on one i just dont get it lol

look at the state of it! he's got no feedback neither has the highest bidder and 90% of the bidders, its a thunder tiger so good make and depending on the size of the engine it may well do 70mph as its a 1/8th scale car.i wouldn't bid simply for the sake he has no feedback and he's relocating so if it is shagged i'm sure he wont respond to you.

what do you think to this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... TQ:GB:1123 for £75 an he will throw in a spare set of wheels an tyres. i think it might be abit pants thoe. only does 25 mph

kyosho pureten are ok mate, not as quick as the tamiya as my nephew bought one after i had mine and we raced them, he sold it on to get a Havoc truck.

you might think i'm putting you off to get you to buy mine but i wouldn't by mine either i'd get a rush evo. fkin quality!!

[superman]

cool wots a ruch evo lol. na i know what you mean its good to have input from someone who knows what there talkin about cos i could get ripped off easy to be honest

[masterofinsanity]

i'll try and get my vid posted tonight then you'll see what a rush they are, a lot of people don't like them but if you wanna spend £300 then get a firestorm, what's your budget??

[masterofinsanity]

[superman]

vid no longer available.. gutted. well budget wise im not vast amounts. defo not £300 lol. want somet to kick ass on i think see how it pans out. i think ill have to spend about £150 on a decent one wont i.

[superman]

what do you think to this one, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... TQ:GB:1123 if you were me how much would you offer????? plus am i correct in assuming that 1-8th is faster than 1-10th im tryin to educate myself here lol. cheers. ps soz about ing your thread here

[masterofinsanity]

1/8th scale is bigger than 1/10th scale, generally it will have a bigger engine so will be faster bit if the engine isn't that much bigger then you have to consider a bigger car so more weight for the engine to drive so could be slower.

he quotes on the listing

DRIVES LIKE NEW WITH NO FAULTS,BRAND NEW TYERS ALL ROUND,ALL BOXED,NEVER RACED,USED ONLY FOR FUN,BRAND NEW DIFFS FITTED IN FRONT AND REAR,

if its never been raced why has he replaced the diffs? this suggests to me the car has been thrashed!i replaced a diff in my nephews kyosho, easy job and cost about £25 and they go cos they've been abused or used a lot.Thunder tiger are a good make and spares should be readily available, kyosho, tamiya,schumacher and hpi are all ones to go for, forget the cheap chinese and german ones as believe me you will need spares, ball joints snap easily especially when you hit a kerb, as do wishbones so the last thing you want is to search for months for spares so get a good make.

this is good http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KYOSHO-PURE-TEN-G ... dZViewItem

but you would need to get a model shop to set it up and run it in and they aint too keen on doin that if you aint bought the kit off them.,

and watch out for a lot of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/subaru-impreza-ni ... dZViewItem

they were issued weekly with a magazine and you built it over a year or so, the world and his wife built them and they aren't that reliable.

if you're looking for on road this is cool http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HPI-RS4_W0QQitemZ ... dZViewItem

[masterofinsanity]

here's my rush evo (filmed by my 10 year old lad with my mobile)

[superman]

so are these thunder tiger TS4N's any good then? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... TQ:GB:1123 im thinkin its lookin good.

that one you got there can shift cant it. i was lovin the look of that. do you race em an that?

[masterofinsanity]

yeah looks ok that, just the body looks cheap and nasty but you can change it.the only thing with these on road cars is you need somewhere smooth to run them, cos there is not much movement in the suspension they bob all over the place on rough roads.

my evo's pretty nippy aint it, don't race em just blast them around and take it down the local bmx occasionally.

[masterofinsanity]

how about this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HPI-NITRO-RADIO-C ... dZViewItem

[superman]

thats not a bad one is it. like the look of it an all. the price is rising thoe aint it lol. still. so if i get an off roader will that be a better choice how much is an evo then?

[masterofinsanity]

i've been watching rush evos on ebay for the last month or so now, just to get an idea what mine was worth as i was going to sell it, for some reason they have been fetching stupid prices, last week a bog std evo went for £150, they've been fetching anything between £80 - £112 recently apart from that one off.you can get them new for £150 watch out for the seller "bestpricetrading" as they are returned stock and have parts missing. you can get a firestorm for £169 new on ebay if you want to stretch a bit more.
