Here's my 1/18 scale "Super Fast" RC - fully modded. A similar car was clocked at just over 50 MPH in a magazine with this brushless motor, battery pack upgrade & gearing.

Photos speak for themselves - I have over $600 invested/incl. car.

BTW: I may be selling it soon, needs very minor TLC.

DAMN, that 1:18 looks snubb....

three years ago i was driving my rs4 up and down the street, it was winter time so there was ice on the road, on a WOT run the car lost control on an ice patch, got air born a bit and smacked into a car tire and it only cracked a front arm and bent a CV shaft....

Founds some old a$$ pics of some bodies i did in like 2000....hahahhaa

LOL... It's so I can have good traction on forward & reverse! j/k - I had just installed them quickly for the pics, they're in the righ direction now.

It's a amazing how much beating & flips these suckers can take. I 've never broken anything; worn axles & spur gears all the time due to the power.

Nice kits Chido!

Thanks.....I have another body in mind that I want to start and I'm gonna actually take my time with it, like Mike did, instead of slapping it together. I usually paint, trim and mount within a day cause i had no patience. :sad:

i always regreted not buyin the rally one. would be fun to tear up a baseball field

Had that same thought once... until I found out how dirty it gets the car. Not worth it unless you have that air filter cinched down tight and want to do a full rebuild when you're done.
