My new FD

Here it is

0-60 : fast
Top speed : very fast

This car puts out more HP than anyone can cope with.

Mapping and engine building, car setup, all done by me.

It is a drift, drag, racing, stunt and just about everything car.

It has 4WD! Helps with those backwards entries into corners, running full slick.

Car mainly runs on lithium ion batteries, last about an hour on the one battery and 20 mins on the other, I believe I had solved the rotary emmisuons fix too as this car puts out nothing, no carbon, no noise.

Hope you all enjoy it.

:Thumbsup!

What ever floats your boat I guess is the saying, beats some other hobbies

It might be a tamiya, I would have to go in the loft to check the box though. I had a choice between this one or a GTR drift car but I bought this one instead. The nitro versions of these for drifting are Â£300 upwards. Waaaay too much for a little toy.

Ada7 · August 18, 2011, 01:09:29 PM

Yeh that was the price of the 787b one I saw. It was an old model though but unopened and in mint condition

onyl problem with buying that is you wouldnt want to take it out of the packaging as it would become worthless. I will bring this down to rotorstock with me for shivs and giggles. probably wont get it out though as if i get talking to everyone about their cars i wont shut up. lmao
