Nope, it's not a truggy. It's basically a huge rally car with a normal body (real world rally type, Citroen). It is a S3 competition buggy with the rally conversion on it. The engine will come afte ...

The red piece on the steering is an upgrade. The difference from stock is this is red and has bearings.

Great, how about the body?  What model is the shell??  a BMW??

I can't wait to see this up and running!

yes, and U might need to consider working overtime at night ...

I am already studying waaay overtime these days...I get barely a day of sleep a week
BUT there's always room for RC...whether it's only for a few minutes to a few hours

haha, good ar, work hard in your study and start RC projects when exams are over .... good luck buddy.

How's the weather in Toronto anyway?

We are still having a lot of snow...good for drifting
I am quite surprised it's still not getting warm yet...rather it's getting more cold...

It must be very fun when playing big Monster Trucks in the snow .... a lot of climing and drifting actions by big wheels .... Hong Kong doesn't have the luxury of doing this man ....  

原帖由 Jackson 於 2006-3-3 10:59 發表
Yup, lots of drifting here...not just RC's too
Snow is the only time 1:1 FWD can drift easily here

haha ... then would the snow drifting be controllable??

Full speed into an empty car park.....pull the handbrake to see how many turns I can spin or how fast I can dri ...

Don't worry brother, let's do it using our Monster Trucks ....

Very difficult if you have a high powered monster truck, i remeber driving my mad force on packed snow last year and all it did was slide i couldn't even get control of it. But hell was it f ...

haha ... that's still fun man .... playing in the snow is simply for fun right??

It's ok crunch...you know that's fun

I want to fix up my Pajero...don't want to miss running an RC in the snow again

U need overtime work??

Wow...what was your screen name then?
Today...I saw a very good deal on another Pajero, exactly the same as mine...I am thinking if I should buy it...

Tamiya may have these things remanufacturered some times ....
