I actually thought the madcap was shit1

The madcap??

You recon any of this talk could get you laid?...with a lass?

Thats how I pulled my eventual wife, I boasted how many turns my motor had.

The grasshopper!

I was tempted to get a skyline when I was choosing my new car. I agree with you on the boxes, incredible.

heat sink, whatevs

the ceramic thing is what I think carries away the heat from the resistance of the motor?

Nah, I fucked those off straight away and got an ESC. Destroyed three of them, driving them in the rain, like a knob when drunk.

If I am correct, the LiPo is better performing than a NiMh pack? Still a little confused by that chart though!

4600kv I think is roughly what my brushless motor equals too. I have thought about a LiPo battery, I have a NiMh one now. What are the benefits of LiPo batteries?
If we can get people people together, a race in car park would be so good!

They are so much fun man. I got mine from Gee Dee models, up in Notts, via their mail order. 275 for the kit with a 2.4 ghz radio kit and NimH battery pack and fast charger.

Tamiya do a lot of paints. If you remember, most of the shell are clear, so you can paint them what ever colour you want. Cutting them out is a bastard!

And flimsy! Well, as long as you try not to crash them, already flipped mine over twice.

The hornet is a classic, they were only reissued a few years back. Just under 100 quid for the kit now.

I know I'll regret posting this, but my lunchbox was crushed under a 248 bus when I was a kid.

They were demo'ing one of these outside HMV the other day. Ingenius, but a lack of home build about it.

I must admit I did a LOL when I read that, sorry! The worst thing to happen to an RC car!

Rusty, that thing looks insane! This is a link to my BMW,

Always wanted the lunchbox when younger and a hornet...very tempted to get a hornet actually.

It is indeed! Drift spec yeah?

its actually a drift spec type, am running regular road tyres on it at the mo.

I have had two buggies and a 2003 impreza, all tamiya, destroyed the last two when I was drunk and burnt all the speed controllers out. I am a lot more sensible with this new one. Fitted 10.5 brushless motor, changed the stock plastic shaft to an alloy one and changed the gear ratio...its bloody fast!!

I think the pic you put up is an Air Max Light?

Get it finished and racing! What kind of motor you thinking of putting in it?

Anybody into building, racing RC models? I have recently built a BMW M3 Sport Evo.

is that^^ meant to be a copy of the Air Max USA? If so it's a pretty poor effort.

Whats an Air Max USA? I know they did an AM1 with the American flag on the heel, maybe the tongue a good few years back?
