wat they like how quick etc

wat they like how quick etc

 

0-60 prob around 4-5 seconds, runs for around an hour on about a litre of optimax unleaded and motorcross racing 2 stroke oil, engines are anything from 23-33cc and the only maintainence required is to change the piston ring every 10 or so hours.

 

mine has allround disc brakes and the radio actually fluctuates the throttle and brake servos to help with traction control, and give an ABS braking effect (all programmable from the radio unit), mine has also an adjustable LSD, alloy oil filled shocks, a K&N and a tuned exhaust.

pretty sure the texaco RS500 was made by kyosho in the late 90s, 3.5cc nitro engine in about a 1/8th scale?

[EmmaOrbit]

My dad used to have some one race them for him, they came third in the european champ's. He went to Mendip most of the time, he had tyre warmer's the lot.

 

 

I got knocked down by one once when I was marshalling at Mendip, fookin hurt it must of been goin about 50mph, me Dad said at the time.

i raced an ecoline honda accord 5th scale at mendip a few times, managed 7th out of 18 entrants the last time i went, not at all bad considering i didnt have a sponsor at the time and was running an dead basic ecoline against all the sponsored drivers running big buck comp/evo chassis cars.

 

marshaling 5th scale races is crazy, in recent years i think theyve given marshal points barriers to take cover/dive behind when it all goes wrong.

[joev8]

do they do other types of body shapes as well as capri and mini

[BaileyMex]

Thats MAAHHOOOOOSIVE

 

You should get some video of it in action

[LUKE261]

my mate races 1/10th scale mardave hotrods, he also has 2 saloon stockcars 6cell and 4 cell,and a banger, he did have a 1/10th scale f2 stockcar aswell but think he has sold that now.

 

i borrowed his banger once and had my own shell painted up still have it, going 2 use it again, was a mk1 granny coupe!!

i got one of these i am selling it with loads of spares of someone wants it only £200 includes 2 other cars and 3 controllers

[X-pack-Glyn]

Yes, the choice is vast but oldskool motors not so, they do the old BMW CSL shells as well as the old beetle, there was a 65 mustang, and someone did do a mk1 escort to fit the marder offroader but no one brought em so the project was scrapped, very very few were made.

 

as far as modern stuff goes theres loads of shells mostly of german DTM cars, but also stuff like hondas, vipers, megane,s,...

 

the porsche 911s look awesome but i would avoud em as they are fitted to the SWB chassis and dont handle too good, most shells fit the 575 mm wheelbase shassis and best to stick with a 575mm chassis really for future shells.

 

a mk3 capri zakspeed has just been released, not sure wether anyone will come up with another mk1 escort, as the chassis and shells are mostly of german manifacture the germans didnt really like the escorts as much as capris.

[sambo]

Absolutley awesome!!!

[Mr Sam]

ah, a 1/8th rallycross buggy, one of my racing buddies did a season of international racing with one of those things (well, say "one" he had 2 back up cars, spare engines etc etc) and blew £35,000 for a seasons racing, thats more than an average entire motorcross team

 

if the other two youre selling are vintage early 80's tamiya buggies, especially metal chassis ones like the scorcher beetle il pay good money for them.

Thanks for the coments chaps,

been a labour of love over 18 months that thing, believe it or not there is so much tuning stuff out there for them i could easily loose another grand in it replacing every plastic part with alloy, but i think il call it done now, just gota connect up some strong servos for the brakes and shes a runner...
