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 cheaper and parts are still available

vone Rrr拉！！

V-ONE SR

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!

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

Is your V-One-S II still available?  If so, why don't you start playing with it now?  It looks good and should be no problem for start playing until it retire.
If you don't have companion, please come to join us at Kwai Fong.  Most Ching play on Sat night (sometimes Fri night).  They will setup track and feel free to have fun and they are knowledgeable to help resolving problem.  I am newbie too and they helped me much.

You can refer to the host's post like below.

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

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。

RRR 高級，
SR 及 V-ONE SIII 都算中級，
但SR 是RRR平板，寶下都會變RRR，
及大部份parts 共用.

Is it 2A x 4 Battery Case?  It is easy to get one at $10 or below.
Oh, we played last night already and you can join us next week.

I suggest to try your existing car first.  I am newbie and start with a 10+ year car and happy with it and not easy to find parts in HK.  I am poor, so I will buy a new one until it cannot move anymore.

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.

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

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？？？
