Default Anyone into R/C?

Building an SC300 Mini Me.

My SC:



Thunder Tiger Tomahawk VX Nitro 2.4GHz RTR w/ 2-spd tans.



HPI Vertex Toyota Soarer body set.



Found a set of Volk GT7 wheels from Integy.



Going to use this RDLogics pipe in the rear for a dual tip exhaust.

Thanks for the links, Dave!

Tabaka, The car was $219 shipped from tower hobbies. Normally the VX with 2-spd sells for $289, but it was on sale for $249 (BMW GT2) plus $30 off discount code. HPI body was $30 and the wheels and tires $17 shipped.

I was too, I had a tamiya TA06 GRT all graphite and aluminum, 1.8 counter steer, I had multiple bodies and wheels. 180sx, a few 240 coupes, toyota gt86, and An hpi soarer painted pearl white to be an Sc400. I had Cr kai's, vs kf's, xd-9's, and etc. trimmed the bottom skirts, front bumper, and rear bumper so i can tuck rim without the body scraping on the ground.

Here's mine, my SC in 1/10th scale. My chassis is the HPI Racing Nitro RS4-3. Upgrades are ball bearings, fiber brake disc, shocks and springs, two-speed transmission, 18SS Outlaw engine (discontinued, f'n fast), carbon fiber composite upper deck, GPM 3mm chassis (first race, had a crash, bent the original chassis), driveshafts, GPM adjustible tie-rods, failsafe, HPI Racing D-Box. I hardly ever drive it anymore. I just bring the car with me to meets to show off with the car. I may take it for a spin some time this season.







And here's an even smaller one I'm working on, in 1/64th scale (same size as hotwheels), should be done by tomorrow I'll post completed pics when I'm done.




I'm into so many hobbies, I can incorporate some in one and another as we all have done here lol
