i should find a mabuchi 380 motor with the adapter braket. then i can drive it for hours.

alcheng

here's the link to the kit

M-05 Pro Kit

I am getting 2 bodies one for medium wheelbase and one for long wheelbase



And a HPI Civic EK body..




true..!!

the M-chassis is small enough and I can play with it in the house or drive-way/street for hours...

just need to tune it right for the 5 minutes when needed...

kenchan

nice, mr.alcheng! i use to have a HPI mini civic.

alcheng

I've never owned a M-chassis before cause I don't like Tamiya...

but I saw how they race the M-chassis this year and it was fun and quite exciting, so why not give it a try..

the only cons is.. (also the main reason I don't like Tamiya..) the hop-ups cost much more than the kit...

kenchan

yah, tamiya's are like toyota's in my mind .. im not a big fan either, but they have a lot of the ordinary folk non-competition style cars too which is great for just screwing around the local parking lot or park or watnot.

ive watched some of those tamiya races in LA. was fun to watch.

alcheng

I have to admit they made the most detailed R/C body, not the most functional but surely the most realistic

too bad Tamiya has canceled the TCS due to economy crisis.. because it is one of the most attractive series in the industry.

kenchan

yah, i like how they have side mirrors and as you said, very realistic looking.

i should plasti-dip the receiver and drive my wildwilly2 in the snow. jk


hello, mr.gale!
