Furai Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 damn that looks fast... i really think you need a mucle car body Its fairly quick, I made it to make a scale Mazda Scrum but I hate making bodies. Real keen on finding a tin K360 but they rare and exspensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for one of the Futaba sets, There about the same price but shed tons better quality. Servos are $29 each and Radios $149 from HobbyCity. If you are in Aucks I coulda given you some dicount. Or just get a Cheap one of Trademe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 wow, had forgotten about the lunchbox and midnight pumpkin. iv always wanted a Baka beetle. local hobby store had one when I was very young- I hassled t dad for it for months. when he finally gave in we went down and it had been sold. ended up with a quick drive jeep wrangler which was alllll good.

flyingbrick Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 If this wasn't so expensive it'd be perfect for going on a truck chassis. Theres a second one on tm for like $140!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
