誠意請教,what car to buy?

i am a newbie today but had played v one R ten years ago. And played a china made GP big foot monster lately.  Now, wanna buy a GP on-road car.  i would like to buy a kit set.  Wondering 1:10 or 1:8 is better.  And which model is good to have future hop up possibilities. All c hings pls feel free to give honest advice.

played with v1r is not considered newbie la Ching. nevertheless, v1r3 is recommended because it is c ...

thx c hing. I m really a newbie.  I bought and played the V-one-S II (note: i even mixed up the model no.).  Bought it simply recommended by a R/C shop, not because i knew which car performed better or was value for money. Then played for a couple times, if i remember correctly < 10 times because no companinon.  You know play alone was somtimes quite boring and frustrated, particularly when there was technical problem.  so, this is my shallow background. c hing 們見笑了

In anyway, my heart inside has never given this hobby up.  So i restarted playing with a cheap china made GP big foot in Dec13.  Still a nut street runner without improvment.  This time i wanna buy a GP car which is good in long term playing purpose.  Wish this potential one is popular and easy in terms of parts replacement and hop up in the current market.

c hing. i m interested in the one you mentioned v1r3.  Is it equivalent to v1rrr? i find there are some quite different RRR models in the Kyosho official web site.  A bit confusing to me. Could you pls provide me more information about it.

Sorry sorry for the inconvenience i bought u guys!  As always, people wanna buy the best costing the least!

vone Rrr拉！！

Thank you ching.  Another c hing probably suggested the same model as you do.  By the way, any physical shops in HK i can visit nowadays? Or should i go for the internet shops?  I am out of this hobby for many many years.  Months ago, i went to Mongkok trying to window shopping R/C cars, very unfortunately i could only find a few shops with very few R/C cars and even didn't see any GP model.  But i really like the smell and sound made by GP cars

thx ching for your suggestion.  up to now, ching 們 have recommended v-One SR, v1r3 and v-one-RRR.  In fact, how is the ranking of them in terms of performance or years of production?  you reminded me to visit the Kyosho website but i am quite confused所以厚面皮地好像直接問c hing好D, pls forgive my rudeness

Is your V-One-S II still available?  If so, why don't you start playing with it now?  It looks goo ...

c hing.  Yes, the car is still on hand.  I intentionally took the car out from cabinet and took 2 pictures this morning to share with all c hings.  Well, yes i also wanna start the engine to see if it is working or not.  However, the battery case in the remote control has broken. I have to buy a new one for this.  So i havent tried firing up the engine.  Besides, i am afraid that i can't find replacement parts anymore in the market and i got no place nearby allowing me to play it.  The one free R/C  field (beneath Goose Neck Bridge) has closed down.

BTW, will u guys play tonight at the Wing Gei Road?  If so, I wanna go and visit c hings there to learn more about R/C car before deciding which one to buy

可用中文嗎？

师兄，好的，只因我的手寫板反應不良而且是简体字，所以用了好差的英文，對不起。我有点不明白是RRR, SR, v1r3 它们的分别？ 如performance 表现档次 和生产年份。 因小弟想目标比较新的车子而parts 和 未来upgrade hop up 也较容易找到的。

Is it 2A x 4 Battery Case?  It is easy to get one at $10 or below.
Oh, we played last night alread ...

Oh, it's an 8 AA bettery case.  I wonder if Ap Liu Street has it.

And very lucky, i tried start the old engine on the V-One SII half an hour ago, amazingly it's up and running in just one pull or two by the recoil starter. I had it's fuel tank filled up by half and left it idle running until the fuel was completely used up.  The engine sounds healthy and stable.  I am very excited cos it's been sleeping in the cabinet for 10 years!

C hing, you said you have got a car of some 10 years old!  What if some of the parts broke?  How can you find replacement of it?  This is what I concern most of my ancient V-One SII.  And that's why I am planning to buy a new R/C car which is easy parts replacement and of high hop up possibility.

RRR 高級，
SR 及 V-ONE SIII 都算中級，
但SR 是RRR平板，寶下都會變RRR，

Thank you c hing.  我刚才在淘宝看过一下，它们有的带engine 有的没有，但买家又没有好清楚的说。  C hing, RRR 带engine 或要自己配呢？ 谢谢

呀！HK 哪里可有店铺卖这些RRR, SR 的车子呢！ 去过旺角，多年以前有很多油车卖的，现在好像没见到那里有卖，而且店也少了很多

KEI_RRR 發表於 2014-3-22 15:47
SR 是有引驚，RRR 香港多數唔跟.

昨天下午终于找到BIG 街那间老字号，见到SR ,但店员回应比较负面。 而RRR 说老款了已没有。 更好的有R4s但说代理也没引进HK。后来推荐 Serpent 747说是最新的, 这车不用考虑升級，因已非常好，而且parts 也足够。但要另买engine, exhaust pipe, wheel & tire 等等！

后来又在 肥姐红肠楼上找到一家，忘了店名字，那里也有SR 而且有两款，貴那款带Audi R8 cover 和 engine 带手拉, 平宜那款没cover，有engine但没手拉，所以要另买starter box。 老板还介绍FW06, 说这车有很多hop up parts, 改装后性能非常好！

所以有点乱，Serpent 747, SR 两款，或FW06，或其他？？？

各位骨格精奇的油车的師兄們, 你们在玩什么车型呢？好让小弟参詳参詳一下，免走歪路，公德无量，谢谢！

my point of view:
fw06- class c
v1s- class b

bear_cat c hing, thank you so much for the ranking you provided.  It can really help me understanding how each of the potential car is ranked in the R/C circle today.  Without the list, i really don't know which way to go
Meanwhile, i m kind of interested in the cars listed in class a

Another c hing is like you, suggesting me to give my V-One SII a rebirth.  I too believe it's a good idea.  I m eager to join some car playing gatherings arranged by c hings in this forum to learn more before making my final decision.

in any case, thank you so much and all other c hings who provided valuable info to me as a newbie

xray nt1

Wow, c hing. I found out the features in http://www.teamxray.com/nt1/Xray NT1 today!  What a car!  it's so very attractive.  It's definitely one of my target!  Thanks thanks thanks

Serpent 748 已有傳快出了，所以 747 只是暫時最新.....
樓上貓師兄嘅分級已經好清楚，可以選擇合適你嘅. ...

Yeah, c hing.  It seems to worth a wait before deciding which to buy.  With the very valuable information provided by you and all other 热心 c hings in the past few days, I understand much much more now!  Meanwhile, 我比较心仪 747 or 748 / NT1 2013 or NT1 2014? / RRR or R4s

These cars are in class a! Besides the car itself, they all need matching engine, muffler, exhaust pipe, batteries, remote control units, wheel & tyre ...etc.  It's not easy but i found it's very interesting to me.  I guess that's why R/C GP cars hobby are so poisioned

Regarding my old V-One S II, you are right!  I better get myself familiar with it before going further.  Hope I can make it running.  

By the way, the remote controller i have is also an anicent AM one.  If I pair my V-One S II with it, i am fraid that my cheap controller will jam other c hing's new controller playing nowadays?

小見識小,都算話玩過下1/10,1/8
見到其他CHING/自己經驗就係1/8煩少好多野 同埋易操控好多,不仿可考慮1/8
...

多谢 c hing 提醒, 这几天太集中 1：10 车，差点忘了 1：8 也是我最初的考虑。但我完全没有任何1：8车款的概念。 而且这些大车会否较大和速度又会更快, 我等新仔难以控制呢？ c hing 可否给点车型例子，我再上网 look look

另外 c hing 介绍那个  R/C Tech Forums 好正呀！ 那个 NT1 topic 有 500 多页，好多技术讨论, 虽然我一知半解，但肯定可以日后参考参考。不过不知为何找不到专门的 747 topic。因这两车是目前我比较有意思的

c hing 说得非常对，最好JOIN下尼到D CHING D車局/入車場請教下 各CHING，自己盲蹤蹤舞既話 走既冤枉路會好多！我想走聪明路和带给c hing 们麻烦呢。

真的多谢这里的热心 c hing 们，这几天我学了很多，也明白了不小，虽然知道还有很多很多要学习的。  GP 车 lives on:)

对呀！c hing, 遥控器也不得随便啊！  i will start looking at the 2 brand names and models that u  suggested.  By the way, are these two models good for the potential cars 747 or NT1 I am interested now?
Sorry again, c hing.  Same old question from new hand, where would these 2 models be easily found in HK?  Or I should go for the internet way to buy. Million thx.

嘩！師兄毒死人咩！But they are real good! 而家D控都幾多功能, let me take some time to look look.  相信 c hing 介绍的就算买贵都无买错。 They are definitely potential targets to me. Thousand thx

如果你唔係去車場玩或參加比賽，AM 都可以係 good start，好多師兄都用緊 2.4G 控，所以參加車聚大多唔會 ...

c hing, 比赛？想都唔敢想呀！只是想有个自己喜欢而能持久的兴趣。唔怕讲比 c hing知，我係果D眼快手慢派，眼高手低果D呢！像而家买车呀控呀敢，又要平又要正，什么都比人慢一万倍呀！

也多谢 c hing 们没有嫌棄小弟， 什麼都不懂又问那么多。 而且还鼓励小弟拿部千年古车和控出来玩下先

其实我唔係怕jam 倒c hing 们的控，因为c hing们都在玩最新的2.4G，我只怕我的老AM 会否干扰到你们就大件事啦。我这样说可能好白痴，但小弟真的不懂呀

ckcgary 發表於 2014-3-27 12:14
我都係初哥，都係跟啲師兄學嘢......而且你嗰架唔係千年古車啦，我仲玩緊架爛頭爛尾 Serpent Impulse (唔 ...

Than....k you c hing soooooo much。 真没想到 gary ching 和其他的 c hing 们会不断无私地给小弟意见和鼓励！没开车已觉自己好快。。。wo wo wo wo。。。。葱呀葱呀。。。
这两天在看遥控方面的资料，好像比车更复杂，车子好像比较容易点理解，因为眼睛可以看得到车子的外形呀，做工呀，外观呀， 加上 c hing 们的 comment 呀！初步已锁定 x-ray， Serpent 和 Kyosho 几大牌子。但要等一下他们的新车！正好我还有千年车在手，趁这时间上山向 c hing 们学武， 可以等。


遥控呢！ 先参与c hing 们的 gathering, 与其子上谈冰，不如实实在在上山请教 c hing 们而家D 新控 2.4G 的问题。不过我怕我去过一次之后 c hing 们比我烦死会改地盘放车就币喇

Gary C hing, 今晚你没去真系sai 晒。主场 c hing 真系好到没人有，他不停地用报纸吸光地下D水让我们玩！super nice. 其他c hing 如你说什么车都有又好nice. 对我买车的目标帮了好多。谢谢
