anyone want to sell one of thier mini tamiya or tade for another rc ?

[TA2DMAC]

Watch ebay for them they come up pretty cheap some times. Saw an M-03 with 3 shells go for 45.00 a few days ago.


by the way I just upgraded the motor and added a Novak Electronic Speed Control. Lost reverse but gained speed, control ,brakes and took a bit of weight off it.

Could do, mine has just sat on the shelf since i built it

[Carlzilla]

A lot of electronic speed controllers have forward, brakes and reverse.
Brushless is 100% the way to go, even on nimh batteries the run time doubles.
I have a LiPo battery waiting for the next time I take my 1:10 drifter round the track.
Nitros are fun, but too unreliable for me, electric cars have come so much further even since I was a kid. The world speed record for R/C is held by a brushless car!

what would you want for it as im not looking to spend much thats why i also said posible to traid

[mymini007]

Not really looking for another rc as the one i have has been sat on the shelf.
I dont know really what its worth, it needs fixing as the gears/diff is slipping,

What other rcs do you have?

Here is mine

ok well i have loads electric ones nitro ones small one and big ones as my big project is taking most of my money at the moment swop would be better but i wouldnt need it running for now any way and have all the radio and stuff so if i did buy it wouldnt need that so you could sell that some where els

[mymini007]

I dunno really? Something fast and will take a pounding, off road will be better, as i would be able to let the kids loose with it :)

[2-alex-2]

i have two things that would suit that either the nitro off road one which is 1/8 and prity nippy but worth a lot more that the tamiya though. or i have a 1/18 scal off road buggy which can be fast if it had the old motor i had in it before i sold the motor whihc was a brushless one but it is a lot of fun the small one but would say wouldnt take to much of a beeting though as its a carbon chassis

[mymini007]

Pop some pics up mate, - If not I was going to stick it on ebay for about £90 fixed?

[2-alex-2]

pm you instead. friad to say they are going cheaper on ebay than that and like i said earlier not wanting to pay to much sorry take a look a tthe pics anyway
