I thought these were illegal?
Pretty loud, the petrol ones seem even louder.
I have a Red Mardave 205Gti, that i used to race with at the local RC club.

[Gazer]

Very nice I used to have a HPI MT2 3.0cc that was a good little car, had couple others but that was the best one, have moved on from nitro now and have a baja 5b.

Thing is just on another level from nitro!

I used to have a thunder tiger dirt buggy.

[Gazer]

Are they loud.

My nitro ones were pretty loud, The baja is louder though and sounds like a tuned chainsaw with wheels :P

The Subaru shell is for a custom built electric car (that was wired up wrong)

[wassy78]

I miss my toys had a serpent impact use to race them at tibshelf

[MiniGibbo]

Got a 21 hpi savage, had it about seven years and still ain't even run it in :S

[blackie_2k5]

haaha, few threads on this....so weird i used to race and have literally just finished scouring ebay as im tempted to build a really fast electric 1/10th tourer...

cant be believe ive come back on to a thread about R/C

its either that or get a marder...

[logic_guy]

Where did you hear this?

Mates, Word of mouth etc

[Gazer]

Lol dunno what your breathing then as its nearly as big as my hand :A:

[Saxo-KidNI]

Mates, Word of mouth etc

Just googled it mate and you were wrong but right if that makes sence

Some towns or citys have made it illegal Cus of sound

[Ali123]

had a few which i sold on but i still have my epic savage 25 and baja 5b
great fun they are!
in the savage i chucked in a lrp 28 spec 3 lump in there, tuned pipe, 3 speed gear box and a few other bits and bobs and woah did it shift! struggled to keep the front end down!
and the baja is no where near as fun i dont think but still good!

[Frankay]

I made a thread about this a while back i was going to buy a hpi one as i had a spare 250 quid, Instead i paid next months rent i done the sensible thing for once.

[Morgzc]

I miss mine. Can't remember exactly what it was but it was a HPI nitro truck of some sort. Put it on ebay and decided to take it out for one last spin, flipped it and took the N/S rear wheel clean off...

[Saxo-KidNI]

mehh mine never lasted a few hours, id fix it, drive it around for abit then boom something else breaks!
at one point i had sparks/flames and smoke pouring out of the clutch and i snapped the crankshaft pin clean off somehow, this all happened at the same time:(
was an expensive repair job:drink:

ive only broken mine once and thistime its just the one way bearing gone so i cant start em up, but they are fun until you drive through some dog shit lol

[Saxo-KidNI]

[Ali123]

i also went through quite a few one way bearings ;( i went through 1 every couple of days use, it got to the point where id buy 10 or so bearings in one go
no idea why that happened doe, it stopped after i completely rebuilt my engine (lrp 28)

[logic_guy]

Are you using rubber tyres?

[billytalbott]

these things look so much fun, ive been tempted into buying one so many times but i just gone of the idea, but i reckon if one comes up for sale i might be interested lol

[Prickle]

I thought these were illegal?

Illegal. Dear meh.

Ive got one and used it alot in the past in the streets and didnt get a section 59 for noise etc. :homme: ;)

there will be a little screw for idiling on the carb that you can adjust to increase or decrease the idle so give that a go

[blackie_2k5]

if anyones looking for a new nitro car...ill 99% have 2 for sale tommorow, so ill update ths with pics/spec prices

so have a look if interested :y:

[Saxologist]

My cousin used to have one, but I seemed to just forget about them.

Do you buy them made?
Or do you pick bits and pieces up and put them together?

[Heftydanielson]

I think nitro is all fun but it's more expensive and takes longer to set up.

I've had a couple now but have gone back to electric, hopefully getting a new brushless motor/ecu for my buggy/drifter soon. xD

What ones?

[blackie_2k5]

What ones?

youll have to check back tommorow mate, i know one of them is some sort of hpi with a decent size engine

lad has two nitro and a shengqi... but i only want the shengqi... but he wont split lol

so the nitro's will be going :y:

I had a shenqi (shonky) for a while and wouldn't recomend them blackie. Lots are fine and some are lemons, half the fixings and standard parts were horrendously fitted and bodged from factory! I ended up with mainly Hpi parts in 2 months, coulda bought a quality 2nd hand genuine Baja for the price I ended up paying.

[Jonny52002]

I use to have (its still in parents loft) a Tamiya Ford Focus Rally Electric car use to race down at the local Go-Kart track, they use to race the small and large scale Nitro's too, lots of fun.

[ryza]

Fg marder and fg stadium truck is what ive got, will get some pics when i can :p the truck is so fun on a bit of wet tarmac power slides so good! And the marder is great on a rough terrain! I never liked the nitro ones as they never seemed to start and run right :/

the price is too good to be missed mate...and its only been used 3 times, its as new, with LOADS of spares apparantly

Nitros take a little too long to tune and maintain, it's just the sound and noise which makes me keep them aswell as the petrol cars which are sooooo easy in comparison.
