looks nuts!!

And where would you use it?

Ive got a Schumacher fusion which does 80 and it never got used because i could never find anywhere smooth enough and big enough to accomodate it!

Marshall I got the Schumacher 28 aswell, it's insanely difficult to keep in a straight line! And even when you do ge a clear run it's out of range in a matter of seconds because of the speed it covers ground

I got fed up of replacing tyres eventually though so never use it anymore

I had a couple of Hpi Drift RC's, they were great fun but prone to breaking, broke several pinion wheels :-(

I had the same problem with that, I had to find somehere completely smooth and stone free, as tiny bits of gravel flicked up through the car and got jammed in the gears.

Had a nitro Scooby WRC as well.

Offroad is where it is at

 

[ben_r1]

All the clubs around here are for off road buggies only

 

[marshall]

I used to be massively into it....then i got into cars and theyve sat on the shelf since

Ive raced everything 1:10th electric touring indoors, 1:10th electric 2wd and 4wd buggies outdoors, 1:10th nitro touring outdoors, 1:8th nitro offroad buggies (my favourite)

Ive got sat in my garage not being used, 2 1:8th nitro buggies, race one with £300 worth of nitro engine etc etc. Electric drift car, electric ducati 999r, electric helicopter and one massive nitro one, both unflown lol
