I do like the HPI pro and the yokoma( because i used to own one and it runs great).
then you are already on the target!!!

since you are used to HPI and YOKOMO, go for both!!!!

HPI and YOKOMO are wellknown for their USER FRIENDLY car and Great Detailed Bodies!!!!

KIT or RTR... i think you know better coz you have been playing RC before!!!!

so tell us now... what car r you getting and dont forget to post the pics here....

WELL. MY FRIEND IS TALKING ABOUT GAS CAR AGAIN. SO NOW I'M BACK TO BETWEEN GAS AND ELECTRIC.

IF I GET A ELECTRIC CAR, MOST LIKELY WILL BE HPI OR YAKOMA

I'm going to get the kit and build it from start. Its alot more fun doing that than buying RTR

OK... if you are ready to built a KIT then go for it... but make sure you buy a car that your local hobby shop support. lots of spare parts availability is a plus point when choosing a car.

EP or GP it doesnt matter. As long as you have the money to buy the HIGH TECH CHARGER, COMM LATHE, BL motor, batteries packS, ESC.... and you dont wanna dirty your hand with greese and you dont want to polute your nose with nitro fume.

it is your hobby...

Default Tyre traction control on carpet.

Hi fellas...i'll be going to perth 4 studies along wif my r/c car soon. I was glad to know that they have an r/c club there. Nothing could seperate me wif my r/c now. The diff between the track here (m'sia) n in perth (australia)'s track is that, theirs are carpeted. I have never drove my r/c on this sort of surface b4. Could someone suggest me the best tyre compounds n inserts i should use for this track? It would most likely b cold there. I also know weather plays a huge factor to get the best traction out of the tyres.

Default electric sedan?

I have an HPI pro 3 for sale. It has quite a few hop ups.

If you're interested, e-mail me at [email protected]

although its not a kit since i already built it, its a great car, the drivetrain is very free.

i dunno whats a yokamA or if you're talking about yokomO, just some info incase you're making typos.
