just wondering cuz i have one and was wondering if anyone else has one they are so cool!!! mine is a HPI NMT w/ o.s. .15cv-x for those of you who know them

edit title

and from the question below YES!!!

it goes about 35-40mph
 
How much do those cars cost? Where can I get info on them, I would love to have one! What do you look for when buying?
 
I have an HPI Super Nitro Rally with .15FE. Raptor13 owns one too. I need to finish up the upgrades for spring. This weekend its gonna be in the mid to upper 50's, so its play time!!!

BTW, pics can be found here
 
you cant just jump in you gotta look around and see what you want towerhobbies.com has the biggest inventory but if you want to try a local hobby shop they should help you

good beginners cars are not amazingly fasat




THEY ARE EXPENSIVE!! as beginners you can run the price up to atleast $1000 really fast by crashing it

just the car w/ engine and remote range from 200-500 stadium trucks are good most are 2 wheel some are 4

monster trucks are 2-4 wheel too and sit higher

check out the RC car forums at

www.rccaraction.com (sorry cant post links for sum reason at school (wont open new window))

you need to do everything it says in the instruction manual!!!!

 
I spent a total of $500 so car. $300 for the car, $50 for the controller(got a cheap one), performance parts, tires, gas. I need new tires soon.

<< you need to do everything it says in the instruction manual!!!! >>



The most important part. I switched around the front and rear axles and my dogbones kept coming out when i hit a bump, i coudnt figure out why until i took teh whole thing apart again.

HPI racing - my fav. cars


Tower Hobbies - good parts that are dirt cheap.
 
I have a Tamiya TG10 Mini Cooper. My GF bought it for my last Xmas. I liked building it but playing with it is fun but it gets tired quick. I just run it on a dirty road so I can take it apart and clean it again. I ordered a 1 HP Novarossi engine once for it but came to my senses and cancelled it a day later😛.

This is pretty much what my cars chassis looks like once I was done with it cept my rim/tires are different and my engine is the stock one:disgust: Dont get me wrong it is fun but if your not good at cleaning it after running it the engine wont last long.

Just looked at the pics and noticed you have the same muffler as me but I had to make mine fit. For the guy asking what to look for, just remember these letters HPI. My Tamiya is a nightmare to find parts for except for rims and stuff so if your not into fabricating stay away from Tamiya. I on the other hand like doing stuff like that but feel bad when I go into a hobby shop and see a HUGE wall of HPI parts and the Tamiya parts in a small box under the table😱

Kay now I'm done...

<< that takes all of 2 seconds. Take out the glow plug, put in the oil, move around, done. >>



That's cool, guess I'm not as into it as you cause I hate having to clean it after so it sits here collecting dust😛

HPI is amazing for on-road cars

there off-road ones arent the best but replacement parts are easily available

if you want a sweet car that can take a beating off road try RC10GT by team associated you will have it last for a while
 
A lot of my friends bought them and stuff.. they're pretty cool, except they all crash it into something within the first week.. and most of them the first day.. expensive toy...

just like the RC airplanes you crash into trees
