Got 3 Rc cars and only one is running atm and that's on a good day. ELECTRIC 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. ←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←Nice.You still cant beat the smell of nitro thou.

Brushless is expensive but well worth it, it will make your 12 turn engine seem as slow as an excel. Im running a 30 tooth pinion and 86 tooth spur gear and I got no probs at. Also lookin at runnin a 14volt lipo. That should hopefully get me to 150km/hr if not more. Its crazy but I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might pay to contact these guys to see if they can ship or if they supply to hobby shops in your areaFrewer International LTDMill RoadKaiapoi Rd2New Zealand0064 3 312 6602Email: frewer at xtra dot co dot nz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
