Radio Controlled Mini's

[Big Gordy]

On the whole yes 8) but it depends who makes them.
Tamiya and HPI make RTR (ready to run) models that are good but you obviously pay a premium when the manufacturer builds them for you and you don't have a choice of what stuff goes in it.
In the end it's like everything - the more money you spend the better/faster the car is.

It will give you some idea of what can be done :approve:

Guys,

Providing you're not looking for a precision scale model - maplins are selling an RC mini twin pack for £20.

One red and one blue, chromed wheels, controllers included, not sure about batteries. They're on different frequencies so you can race em against each other - and for £20 I'm sure you won't mind too much if you roll/smash/break them.

Of course they won't be up to the quality of Tamiya, but for £20 I don't think you could knock them - we'll be buying a set for as stocking fillers for our satan spawn this xmas.

Cheers!

Scott

Hi people,

within reason and resources I could reproduce most cars close to the real thing.

If you're still lost as to how good these little cars can look then check out some of these Tamiya minis....

[Big Col]

Naaaaaaaah he wont. He said to me just the other day "You know Big C. I think Ross should buy your car off you!"

How many of you are actually serious about this :question:
Just checking as loads of people said they would come to the karting but when asked for money they all disappeared like snow of a dyke :evil: :approve:

I would be seriously interested but probably not till after Xmas - so let everyone else get there orders in first.
