Well I'm not really great at larger RC cars...but I think that might be either a Micro RS4, or an ABC DTM.

that could be anything. sounds like an all wheel drive, maybe belt driven.. u can pickup one of those @ any hobby shop for around $200 for a cheap RTR, its electric. and for a top end one expect to pay upwards of 500

well if you mean the picture with the car that has a bunch of decals and says Castrol its a Supra and it looks like a Mini-Z, Epoch, and or the many types of larger RC cars out....

Look at the size of the car compared to the 1:1 wheels lining the track. Its it least a micro rs4, but probably a 1/10. Definitely 4WD.

RWD RC cars couldn't drift like that with out spinning.

You mean you didn't know it was a Supra, Taku?

I'd say 1/10...thats much bigger than my mini Z and sounds completely different. Also, I wouldn't be so quick to assume its 4WD, if you're skilled, you can drive a RWD like that. Hell, I drive my FWD civic like that!

I also think that is a 1/10 Supra, it can't be a micro rs4 cuz I have one and I haven't yet seen a supra body for it.

i think i heard some major tire spinning during those turns...if it was awd, either he has some kind of traction control (highly doubt), or its rwd, since if the front wheels are spinning, its quite hard to put in the right counter--steer to maintin the drift. on a front wheel it is doable with some difficulty, but in awd configs, unless traction control of some sort is used, its like skateboarding on a frozen lake.

the car is also abpproximately as long as 2.5 peices of that parquet flooring, if thats of any help.

Either way, that guy knows his drifting.

Its cheap cuz you have to go spend another $150 for a digital proportional radio...thats just the car, no controller, receiver, and perhaps no ESC either...so theres another $250 you have to spend. Not so cheap now is it?

that Sprinter with the white shell and lowered to hell is A BEAST

JTM · #14 01-03-2003, 07:14 AM

i said it sounds like an AWD b/c thats what they sound like, kinda a more solid mean sound.. not lightwieght.. i guess youd have to know what im talking about before it made any sence.. but if it is AWD its deffo belt driven, not shaft... but if it isnt an AWD oh well who cares.. not me.. it was just what i thought.

mustang_steve · #15 01-03-2003, 05:04 PM

I was wrong......its awd.

oh well, still a kick-@%# car...
