I'm into RC too. Got a few nitro onroad cars, nitro truggy and an elec touring car. Much prefer the nitro, but the elec gets me that all important in between nitro races practice.

I have a nitro heli too, but cant fly the thing to save myself.

So I had to fix it up a bit, the red gear was shot, and after 15 mins of getting it going..... the electronic speed controller died.

got it all fixed today, and also found a BA falcon body for it! gonna paint it LS to match my car

Corney I know, but im all about the cheese

LOL my RC cars are worse then the real thing. Got 3 Rc cars and only one is running atm and that's on a good day. :gooff:

ELECTRIC :bum: is better then gas!!!

but that's only brushless, as no maintainence and no heat issues.

My fav is probably Xray T1 factory kit. Probably get that moving at over 140 km/hr if I tried.

Dont bother with CEN, they maybe quick but they aint quality. Like my Xray is better as all carbon stuff, but CEN is all plastic.

My advice is look around and buy the better quality stuff you wont regreat it. It like a car if u sting for the extra power it will just cause you trouble later. :roflmbo:

between me and my father we have around 30k worth of rc cars and boats.

carbonfibre 1/5 scale onroad race cars with 23cc komatsu petrol engines fully worked in the usa running 4 wheel hydrolic disc brakes with xdrilled and slotted rotors, 1/4 scale sprint cars and 1/5 1/4 scale boats 100mph.

my fathers more into the boats but I finished 18th in the femca world champs held at morebank nsw in the onroad car about 2 years ago.

in 2005 I was leading the club championships untill u did my back in and havnt competed seriously since then, after the old man had a stroke last year the cars dont get much use now but he can drive the boats with one hand as the perallisus has only been limited to one side.

so year im into rc cars 4 sure :roflmbo:

Cheers for your advice bro,

yeah I think I will stick to the electric for now aye. heard too much cleaning time and maintainence is real time consuming, whereas with electric its just charge and play.

The chassis I have is also carbon! it looks great aye, got plenty of concreate at my place so can really rip it up, the new speed controller does wonders!

here is a pic of it with the unpainted falcon body
