My Gas R/C car

[HKSemo]

here is my HPI super nitro RS4 with a skyline custom painted body on it....the scrapping noises that you hear are from the body hitting on the street...its so damn low lol

sister is the one filming it

cool car,maybe it could use a better driver jk

how much was the total cost for parts and everything??

[HKSemo]

lol i was just driving like shit trying to drift it but that thing has too much power to drift lol...and the tires are super super slick lol

for cost wise:

HPI SUper Nitro RS4 RTR (ready to run) w/ 350z body- $500 when i bought it
performance side exit exhaust w/ header- $89
upgraded car transfromer for better signal strength and less glitches- $30
better glow plug- $9
glow plug starter- $24
gas r/c starter kit- $50
HPI r/c fuel- $10-$20
HPI 300mm Nissan Skyline body unpainted/not cut out- $35
spray paint for the bodies- cant remember but i just got normal spray paint

thats about everything needed to run and with a little more performance and better parts
my kit is probally about 350-400 now because i believe they stopped making them, and more ppl want the smaller version of it b/c they have tons more parts and drift kits etc. and are about 250-350 for a RTR kit and are either just as fast or faster

if you plan on getting into the sport or hobby, expect to spent around 600 for a desent gas one or around 400 for a far desent one...or a good electric one would be like 200 or less

all together ive spent about 750-800 for mine total, thats including all the gas and everything

yes, doesnt seem like it, but rc is a huge MONEY PIT. even if u get the cheap stuff, u still spend alot

[TacomaSR5Dave]

thats for damn sure, I'll have to run my Losi here and see if I can find all the shit I need to get it started

X3 i used to have a hpi nitro mt well i still got it but kinda grew outa that stage and started modding real cars really fun hobby tho

[HKSemo]

yea its a great hobby, im not too much into it anymore b/c its too much of a pain to maintain them...and every time i drive it on my neigborhood, all the damn little kids ride them bikes over to watch me

i tell them that i ****ed their milf mom so go cry in a corner...then they like, "what?, ill kick yo ass" and they only like 12 or younger lol

[nick6690]

yea i used to mess around with rc cars and it was a huge money pit. i got tired of stuff breaking and having to buy more stuff.
