Somemore..
Before i got into bike i used to race these cars. This is 1:8 and it can do 75-80 MPH on a big track with the right gearing. These type of cars are made for racing and racing only. Some people use them for running up and down a parking lot, but the real challenge is putting them on a track. Just like a bike anyone can go fast in a straight, but get them in the twisties or on a track and they are talking a different tune.

Awesome, didn't know you were into RC's. I used to be big into rc cars. Loved my Predator Lynx carpet racer, all graphite chasis, axle, direct drive, Trinity Pure Gold motor w/ lighter springs and off road brushes, mini servos, 9.6v...ahh I love the smell of Paragon.

That car rocks!

Thats awesome. I just recently sold my Team Associated TC3 to a good friend of mine, to fund one of my track days. It was a good (electric) car. Had the 200 mm conversion kit, and it kicked ass in our "league" after work.

That's great... but I still need some idea to exactly how big or how small this car is... how does it compare to something like a can of soda?

Looks real good Jase. Maybe you can inspire me enough to mess with my Veteq....

Nick that car is a little too big for you. You might not reach the petals LMAO :omg:

It's a two stroke with a 2 speed tranny with a centax clutch.

The Veteq was good, the problem was wrenching it and getting it setup. The Serpant team drivers used the NT. The Veteq lasted a year.

Rev's what's an hpa 2 speed? That's a new one to me.
