RC Nitro Power

[SAVAGE70]

Hey fellow Speed3ers whats up? Just curious if any of u guys race remote control nitro cars. I know Sharkdiver has a few. What do u guys have? I currently have a stock TMAXX 2.5, a modified TMAXX w/ hyper 21 8port, a HPI Savage modded w/ SH.28 and trying to get an OFNA Twin Titan with a pair of STS.28(about 7.2 hp) and looking for another Twin Titan so I could put a pair of CEN .46 together(about 10 hp)

Whatup, I had a few nitro cars back in the day. Had the Tmaxx when it first came out, rc10gt, and a nitro rs4. Im back to electric nowadays though. Its a lot cleaner and easier to maintain. Right now Ive got hpi rs4 pro2, tamiya t02ff, and a tamiya f350 hi-lift. For me electric is the way to go. You cant go wrong with a brushless motor setup. I used to race in parking lot events back in the college days.

I have a nitro NTC3 around here somewhere. I built it from a kit for my senior project from High School. I had a lot of fun with that thing but haven't used it in a while. I usually kept a Porsche body on it otherwise i ran it without a body. When the glo plugs went bad I never replaced them. I should drag that thing out again.

I run a 1/5th scale FG marder with a monster conversion. It's a 30CC with a tuned pipe (stock was 26cc) Disc brakes and some other goodies. It's HUGE. The picture doesn't really give you a good frame of reference.

oh, it's not nitro. I run 118 octane sunoco mixed 40:1. It runs on pump gas.

This video is pretty old, but I think it's really neat what people can do with these RC cars. Initial D FTW! *^_^*

Holy Batman! That thing is gigantic! What in the world do you do with it? Herding sheep?!?

piss off neighbors and scare the hell out of kids. It sounds like a competition chain saw.


Here's what appears to a stock FG beetle (basically the same as mine minus the body)

You get an idea of the size when he drives it over to himself.
