R/C car video - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

ScottyS · 2005-09-07, 03:04 PM

It just occured to me that y'all might get a kick out of a couple R/C car videos I made not too long ago.

Stupid? Funny? Wish it was a full-size rally Suby instead?

Enjoy.

Haha! Those rock! I have a Mini-t also, although it only has a 300 size motor, and Gpm Oil shocks. Not nearly as gnarly as yours.

tysonK · 2005-09-08, 04:54 PM

You really gave those a beating, do they hold up just fine?

M3n2c3 · 2005-09-08, 05:28 PM

That sucker really cooks!

No.

That's why I'm switching to onroad touring....

sybir · 2005-09-08, 09:03 PM

I need to dig my Mini-T out of storage and hop it back up, you want to part with your buggy setup?

ScottyS · 2005-09-09, 08:26 PM

If it doesn't get traded in the next day or so, it (and the brushless system) will be for sale. But seriously, all that kind of speed does is break things.

Libila · 2005-09-10, 10:18 PM

I want to play with RC cars again!

Bob Danger · 2005-09-10, 10:24 PM

I've got a sweet R/C Drift Car with a Mazda RX-7 FC3S body, that thing is fun.

ScottyS · 2005-09-11, 03:54 PM

I want to find a 1/10th scale Subaru Wagon body for onroad, but I don't think they've ever been made. I have found 04+, Bugeye, GC, and LGT sedan bodies, though.....

sybir · 2005-09-11, 07:55 PM

Scotty......
I've had this thing around for a year+, I don't have an airbrush and can't find any RC paint in a can that's charcoal (to get the two-tone right for a replica of my car)

Company called ABC out of HK makes them, I paid like $60 after ludicrous shipping, but the body is a nice one. I'll see if I can track down another one for you. The place I got it from doesn't list it anymore, but I'll send them an email.

Kevin M · 2005-09-12, 01:22 AM

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

that Aaron is the pimpmaster of all things wagon-related.

ScottyS · 2005-09-12, 08:17 AM

"AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Sick!"

Good grief, I should have known to check here first. Yah Aaron, I'll be doing a search now on that company.....if you run across any info on one, be sure to send it my way.

sybir · 2005-09-12, 04:23 PM

I'll keep looking, I've never been able to find the damn things anywhere other than that site.

http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/default.php?language=en

For all your HK needs.

ScottyS · 2005-09-13, 09:50 AM

That's funny. After you posted the info about ABC, I did a google and found that rcMart site. My inquiry email was answered this morning --- they don't have any more, and neither does their supplier. Now that I know the darn things exist, I'll keep an eye peeled.
