I've been throwing around the idea of getting one of these pretty soon: http://www.rcplanet.com/tamiya_subaru_impreza_wrc_70582_prd1.htm
I've got a nitro savage monster truck. Its great but boy are those nitro engines are picky w/all their tuning and crap it may just be my lack of patience or my short attention spa........
I have the HPI Nitro Rs-4 Type SS Very very fast machine, all wheel drive, 2 speed tranny. i think it boasts 60 mph! Might be for sale if anyone is interested http://www.rccaraction.com/articles/hpirs4_3.asp
its electric, for the drift cars its usually preferred. cheaper to run and a lot less annoying too. not nearly as fast top speed as the gas cars but not designed for that kind of thing anyways. If an RC car can hit 60 mph, chances are i'm not going to be able to see it anymore to steer it, unless i'm chaising it in another vehicle. Also the chances i have enough pavement to do it in are also pretty slim. here's some good examples with some really crappy music:
I have been thinking about this same car for a few months now. Little cheaper at other places though. http://h1069837.hobbyshopnow.com/products/description.asp?prod=CEG9414
new toy i just got a nitro 4tec with traxxas tuned pipe it has the 2.5 motor and it goes about 70mph, the gas is a ton of fun they sound bad ass my has not requiered alot of tuning but it sucks to clean after every run.
this maybe an extremly stupid question but .... do these have the subaru boxer rumble? AspitFire- post a pic i might be interseted..
