ivux: Diko sure kung anong oras pero mga 6 to 7am kami alis dito sa Jubail. Diko lang alam kung anong oras mapupuno yung taxi at makakarating sa Khobar.. 3 times mo na iniwan yung kit kay chairman? This time ggamitin ko na talaga yan!

grizelle: Cge darating ako. Takot lang kasi ako mag taxi sa gabi. Lam mo naman, kasing tisay ako nung MS ni ivux kaya baka mapag tripan ako ng mga MENYEKS!!!

LAPU-LAPU: Aampunin ko na nga yun at baka mag tampo na ng husto. Tulungan moko mag setup ng kit ha...

sandrixx: Magkikita din tayo!!! Di nako ...........

Default Kits

Di pa muna me makaka-punta this Friday. Meron ho bang available na kit na right within my budget para mabili ko na at mapa-andar agad? Yun nga lang hindi ko makukuha ng Friday kasi busy ho ako on those days. Siguro pwede ko siyang kunin ng thursday next week kung meron. Naku, complikado yata ang situation ko. Many thanks!

Sa budget na target mo, I think mahihirapan tayong makahanap para sayo lalo pa what you want ay competitive kit.

Siguro, tingin-tingin ka muna sa http://towerhobbies.com so you'll have an idea on what you're getting into. You also have to consider some maintenance cost for your kit dahil somehow part will worn-out and break down. Most of us start on a lower end kit like my TB01 but ending up with a high end one. Sabi ko din noon, tama na sa akin yun...

Pasyal ka dito minsan ng makita mo mga kit ng grupo...

Mga sirs,

Thank you for all the leads. Given budget restrictions, I think I'll start with the more basic ones and I will see from there if I will go deeper into the hobby. In that case, I think the best thing to do is to buy online. I will look at rcmart.com to see how it is done. If ever, ngayon pa lang ako mag-oonline transaction. If anyone won't mind, madali lang ba magpasok ng mga kits and everything related to it dito sa Saudi using rcmart? Meron na ho ba ditong nag-online na sa rcmart? How many days does it usually take to receive the order? Thank you very much.

I don't have problem ordering with rcmart, also it takes more or less 2 weeks for shipping. I just pick up my items in Agrabiyah Post Office, using my company PO Box. I would recommend also you get the Internet VISA Card for safety reasons, it only allowed maximum purchase of SAR2,000. Maybe you can use also Western Union. Cheers.

Default kit

Also, I would recommend this kit for the price value..

Tamiya TA-05R part no. 49418, belt drive chassis, no wheels, no body..(US$210)
http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/produc...ducts_id=23138
http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=49418

This kit has upgraded parts, you can use this kit to race with more expensive cars.. and able to keep up with them, that depends on the driver's skill..

Default beginners intro to rc hobby

Basically what would happen if you are a beginner getting into this hobby is you're thinking that the basic (cheaper kit) will make you satisfied... but if you are going to enter the competitive area of racing... you will be wanting more from the kit. So if you're goal is to race, try to get the best equipments that your budget will allow, even if it means buying the second hand (used) equipments from racers, mostly you can get that for half the original price... check ebay or manila rctech for sale thread.

http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthre...187458&page=80


Recommended race bodies..., protoform shells (US$17)
http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/defaul...acturers_id=75

Recommended tires for parking lot racing... hpi x-patterns (2 pcs) (us$11 to us$15) x 2
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...tern&search=Go

26mm wheels (4 pcs) us$10

cheers...

sir grizzle, hope we can meet later for the C-hub. ill go to barahim to get my charger, inshallah nagawa nila ng paraan, kundi yari ako at slow charger lang ako.

i am now really discharging using the vacuum cleaner! ill post some pics! inside this is an original jhonson 540 motor!
Bro, I think I'm close to buying your offered kit. Meron lang akong PM sa iyo about some questions that I'd like to ask. Many thanks.
