Dub City Rc Cars Available At Tower Hobbies
 
These cars are awsome looking. I was wondering if anyone has tried these out yet. They are priced at 49.99. This is a great price just for the way they look. If anyone has had any experience with these let me know.

kingcobra 11-06-2003 06:11 PM

yo...
 
they aren't even available yet...so how could anyone have tried them out yet?

Fusion 11-06-2003 06:21 PM

Some peeps have contacts and connections that get hooked up. So maybe someone has one. The same way peeps had zz se and xmods before the release dates. I know a guy that had an xmod the 1st week in september. So anything is possible.

4G63T 11-06-2003 06:41 PM

do you have a link to the pictures or something?

spike_101 11-06-2003 06:45 PM

Sorry but i dont know how to do links. Just go to towerhobbies.com and go to the search option and type in "dub city RTR" and they are right there.

4G63T 11-06-2003 06:46 PM

ok thanks

catman25 11-06-2003 06:49 PM

they have a pic of a supra at tower hobbies..we need specs. do we know size?

truckian 11-06-2003 06:51 PM

Cool. I wonder if some have spinner rims. And if not, then my X-mod will soon.:D

rayman 11-06-2003 07:27 PM

Check out http://www.jadatoys.com/RC_SPEC/index.html for the specs. They are 1/10 scale, so I guess they don't qualify as mini or micro. Neat anyway.:)

catman25 11-06-2003 08:01 PM

now they look more like a toy then a hobby :-( what do others think?

kingcobra 11-06-2003 08:40 PM

...
 
they supposedly are 9.6 volt...have detailed interiors and working neons under the car...they also come with 2 sets of wheels and tires...and come with the charger and battery included...

catman25 11-06-2003 09:15 PM

are these consider hobby class? Any word on electronics? motor upgrades..9.6 seems nice

catman25 11-06-2003 09:19 PM

another site


If you search for jada toys rc spec youll see a few

catman25 11-06-2003 10:00 PM

bought one from tower ..its on backorder but i got a place in line..for this price if its stupid it will make a nice x-mas gift

Murcielago659 11-06-2003 10:33 PM

There's no way anything from jada is hobby class.

cashdog144 11-06-2003 11:19 PM

I could have sworn I saw an 1:10 RSX that looked just like these at RS, weird.

i know what you mean its like a redish color but i dont think it had under lights.

str8 del ghetto 11-07-2003 03:04 PM

the 1/10 rsx at radioshack is $100 and goes 149mph! but it has no upgrades other than it already being tricked out.

wow!!!

I doubt that it is 149mph. I mean use common sense. Thats faster that a real car! I seriously doubt a 1/10th r/c can go that fast.

TypeZer0 11-07-2003 04:13 PM

fastest scale RC car was like this 1/10 car that went 77 mph but i'm sure it's been surpassed by now but i doubt even teh 100 mph barrier has been breached. that 149mph is a scale speed so at 1/10 scale that woudl be 14.9 mph

catman25 11-19-2003 04:17 PM

my supra is on its way from tower hobbies ..any one interested in pics or not?

4G63T 11-19-2003 04:18 PM

yeah. post pics for sure

truckian 11-19-2003 07:09 PM

Maybe he means 149 scale mph.

kasper01001 11-19-2003 07:32 PM

how big exactly is 1:10?"

EMX 11-19-2003 09:42 PM

1:10 is bigger then the xmods, so nothing for them is gona fit on the xmods.

catman25 11-28-2003 02:22 PM

basketballphile 11-28-2003 09:27 PM

CATMAN!!!
 
I was going to order one from towerhobbies mid nov when it said on the site it was avaiblable for order but the next day it said mid dec I dont understand?? did they recieve only a few shipments or they made a mistake..... I was planning on getting the celica or the supra but I was wondering CATMAN if you can make a video of it or tell me how it is because that one was the first one I wanted but could wait till mid dec so I got an XMOD skyline...... keep us posted!!! thankss!!

Daazndood 11-28-2003 10:50 PM

you cant even modify the motor or nothing. its an all show rc car. im pretty sure becuase i checked the site and it only listed visual modifications, but no internal. if this is true, that would pretty suck. talk about rice. maybe im wrong though.

catman25 11-29-2003 08:59 AM

if its electronic then it can be modified.Look at zip zaps and xmods.Not intended to be modified but they are/were. All i did was order it and pay for it and when they got it in stock they sent.The web site said it was out of stock but i still got it ? so i dont think they have enough to classify in stock.Its really hard to make a video chap, I just got a foot of snow and i dont have enough indoor space to get full speed..All i know its quick but the steering sucks.Maybe cause i didnt use a full battery i dont know.

Chrisman222 11-30-2003 11:42 AM

i dont think these are rcs, i went 2 a wal mart and saw them there. THey are jus nice looking show cars, no remote or electronics.

Chrisman222 11-30-2003 11:47 AM

woops. nvm, wat i just said:rolleyes: , it was something else i saw. jada toys, has some replica, show cars, which are not RC. They just look cool. Like they have an Escalade etc.

SonicKuz 11-30-2003 12:52 PM

Heh, you guys can make your x-mods go as fast as these things.

viperkilla 11-30-2003 01:16 PM

Hmmm...for $79.99 im not too sure I'll get one. With that money I could get another XMOD and some upgrades.

xmods where not intended to be modified? i thought they sold a whole bunch of inter-changable parts so you can modify. i sure was misdirected with its title "xmods: custom rc's"

catman25 11-30-2003 02:50 PM

I'm talking bout electrical .god use your head.;)
