Will I ever go 1:10?

Post by Maxximum Attack »

Yeah guys I've been holding back one paint job that i'm especially proud of.
I had a 1:10 that i bought from a guy and i used to bash the living shit out of it. So I said i'd buy something nice for it...

I ended up selling it back to the guy cuz he wanted acheap platform to start modding one of his monsters. So I sold him everything, all my offroad conversion stuff, white touring rims :sad: etc.

But I just couldn't part with the scooby (it was too big anyway 200mm):

The japanese at the side translates litterally to "with utmost effort" or Maximum Attack 8-)

So if I ever get a 1:10... THIS will be the runner
This was painted during the summer last year. My 1st and only !:10 paint job

DUDE...That is PIMP, I LOVE IT, but I don't think I'd switch to the Subie now because I got an M3, but that is HOT!

Look at what I missed :sad:
Who wouldn't get into 1:10 at $50 RTR.

I was looking to get into RC drifting and saw that the sprint is a good car to drift. Plus you can leave it basically stock. It was right up my alley :sad:

Here's a little deal....Not sure what it'll end up going for, but keep an eye on it.

A couple of parts and your good to go. You can also buy a rally upgrade for it.

I have a TC3 and love it for big parking lots. A rally kit might be in its future. :???:

Amazingly, I am in the market for a TC3 to drift. I think I'm serious this time. With Xmods looking iffy this may just be the encouragement I need to step up. I'll add this to the 3 other TC3's I'm watching.

Strange how things happen :???:

And ya know what???? an hour later I lost another auction. I knew I should have put in $100 as my maximum bid, but my pockets were controlling my fingers. I froze :cry: . I missed out on a SWEET deal.

I'm still hunting tho. I placed an early bid on another chassis.

THat's a nice paint job. Good luck in finding a chassis for it.

SG219 - I think you accidentally posted the negative. Isn't it supposed to be green with black stripes??? :???:

Nice the gold rims will go nice with your lid to. :-o If you get the second one your still going to need a motor unless you already got one that fireball is crap really its just as bad as a stinger. :o If you have enough and want real speed get a sphere/neo 3 or 4 star brushless combo system.

This will be a drifter, so I don't need any high speed motors. Just lotsa torque. I gotta call up my friend and see if he has any 'lectrics to sell me. It may save me some money ;)

I'm gunna buy an '04 scooby lid to floss and use the one above to practice etc. I have the '04 painted in my head already 8-)

Gunna get some ABS tyres, and pinions off the bay and some brand new shoes from tower.

EDIT: Getting the shoes from the bay also:

Now I need an electronics package :???:
