Hi.

I am new into this R/C cars. Bought a Nikko 1/10 Ferrari F2003 recently. Its quite fast runing at 39km/h. Anyone care to share on this?

how fast is your fast? i own a nikko that i bought back in 2001. still have it. as a toy though

The Nikko is really fast. But A Tamiya is even more fast and sophisticated.

But a Tamiya can cost you a lot. The basic package would set you back around RM800. That's without the charger and remote control yet. If you opt for the premium accesories, the total cost can be up to RM 1400. But it's every cent you spent.

Then try to modify the tamiya  a little bit. For around RM 500 you can change the suspension system and change to steel bearings.. then you would know what fast is.. hahaha

I also have bougt a new r/c car...same brand like yours...nikko chevy colorado

RainbowSix

Nikko Colorado..thats cool. How much was it?

I bought this Nikko Subaru Impreza 1/10. Its a very nice rc car. Its move fast and quite able to race.

RainbowSix

True, a Tamiya XB 1/10 car would cost you at least RM1400.00, inclusive of the charger and batteries.

Usually, those who buy Tamiya are serious rc racers. Quite fun, as they have a few circuits in Msia. Good past time activity too.

where did u buy your nikko? i'm looking for a nikko store

RainbowSix

Kat Mid Valley tingkat 3. Theres a big Nikko store there. I think the Super Evolution Series 1/10 is an excellent model to start with.

aku beli kete tu harge dalam 100..model ko berape?

RainbowSix

Super Evolution Series aku rasa dalam RM630 kot. Mahal sikit la, tapi best beb..

malarky

hui..mahal gak tu...kos upgrade berape? ... post la gambar

Subaru Impreza 1/10 - Sprint motor upgraded
Supposedly can speed up to 35km/h. I dont know if its true or not.

RainbowSix

I upgraded my Tamiya NSX TT01 with a new 540 motor and the propeler shaft. Add new liquid oil shock absorbers to improve connering and walla! Hi-speed racing. Though the tires do play a role.

i think the tamiya store @ 1 utama is nice. the location, people and all. plus the carpet track.

Tamiya memang mahal....tapi performance memang bagus. Satu lagi TT-01 model kit tu boleh tukar semua benda...best betul.

tgk Majalah 3 about RC semalam.. and think i'm interested in this... yg mcm mana agaknya RC yg sesuai untuk newbie??

FiRe_Fly

thylord kalau u betul betul interested u ade 2 pilihan sama ada beli brand new atau second hand....

kalau baru fulus lebih sikit lah...dalam 1300 ke 1500 u boleh dapat kete ,charger ,remote , esc , motor ngan battery

kalau secondhand murah lah sikit tapi hati hati jangan sampai kene tipu....

tapi yang paling penting skali kene tahu brand atau model yang u nak beli 2 ade spare part tak...jangan beli yang terlampau outlated sangat.....

kene rerajin pegi survey kat kedai rc... rajinlah bertanya....kalau u kat kl senang lah ....banyak kedai rc kat kl....kalau luar kl payah sikit

kalau rajin nak tengok brother brother rc  ni merempit datanglah kat tasik titiwangsa jumaat ngan sabtu malam..... kalau tak hujan adelah diorang 2

thylord

dulu selalu gak pergi titwangsa.. tgk dorang main RC.. mmg bestlahh..

klu yg 2nd hand, dlam berapa budget dia? Kat KL kedai mana yg ko blh rekomen?
