[Paul]

Having a flick through Pistonheads and found this lil vid. I thought it was very cool and could be brilliant fun to do properly. I loved the bit at 2.20 with the parking :thumbsup:

At first the 'RC' part didn't click and thought they were life-size.

Thats awesome.

 

[Paul]

Yeah the GF thought the same for half the vid!

Makes me want to get one myself lol!

Great. I love RC cars. Have had so many in my life. Last one was an HPI Savage. before that I had a Team Associated Nitro TC3. Haven't had anything for 5 years or so now.

I used to be well into the RC model scene.

Ive got a 1/5 scale FG modellsport Porsche GT2. All 23CC of two stroke action. Doesnt half move.

I'll dig some pics of it out.

Ive Got a HPI Mirco RS4, i made some drift tyres for it out of some plastic piping was rather funny trying to control it lol

 

[Paul]

Lol I had a Tamiya (think its still in the loft) that I converted from 4wd to rear wheel drive. Back then they didn't do drift tires so I used normal ones - just shredded them lol! Was brilliant fun though.

Steering Servo kept breaking off mine sound familiar lol
