Yeah, I heard the 23T is VERY fast already in the F103 due to its lightweight...

I might just need to check that out....

Keep the ideas coming!!

The tamiya super stock dan posted would fit VERY well. IMO

I can't wait to run the F103 (gyro assisted?!?!?

) at that nice track.. see if I can come even close to your TA-05 or TC4..

Probably not.. but would be fun to try, though....

Cheaper than a lot of hobbies. There is really no cheap hobbies that are fun We get better jobs to make more cash in order to have more outrageous hobbies.... It's a vicious cycle

Cheaper than R/C planes, I would spend $400 on a motor easy. I can get more out of that $400 in cars.

Very true... hee hee.. when I had my motorcycle (it was stolen), it was not a cheap hobby for sure..

WOW!! What did you have? I used to have a Suzuki RM250 MX, then I got a DR350 Enduro and then the CBR600F3 w/Two Bros pipe, jet kit and custom paint. Not a cheap hobby at all and 8 months later it was stolen. It sucks doesn't it? At least my insurance paid off the entire loan. My parents were happy though, I got tons of road rash from that CBR. I was one of those guys that liked wheelies....

You should be good with that car if you keep the Courage shell on. The pancars have much better speed through the corners than the leading TCs if the surface is smooth. Too much aero/COG advantage.

Haha I been thinking of getting a heli for fun. Something like a scale Hirobo. I figure it might actually be cheaper than cars if I don't crash it... (fat chance I know)

It's super light, I am sure it'll be a speeder.

I am sure the straight line speed is not an issue.. but I have read that it is hard to put the power down due to the RWD only design...

I mean, you saw Kevin's RWD.. it was fast in the straight, but on the turn, he can't keep up w/ the TC4s...
