*UPDATED* Well i'm still waiting on my parts at RC MART because they ran out of Yokomo drift wheels.. Which anyways wasn't bad because I made ABS to save me some money. I invested so much bling into this thing but it's well worth it.. All the aluminums cost more then the car kit itself

ROYjovero

Not bad. R32's are played out to me. Now try to find an unpainted Loctite R33 Skyline GT-R N1. Haha. I spent $50 less than you this week and all I bought were bodies, wheels, arms, and paint.

okydoke

vnice, get some dark grey window tint happnin ther and ull have a nice lookin car, orderin my tt01d tomz (finally) been lookin at it for months haha

jaylay

rcmart charges alot of shipping though dont they? about $25 shipping for the GTR ... wow!

JDM_DRIFTER

Yeah it's worth it though becuase I bought some mods as well.. Saves me money buying the mods at rcmart so I don't have to buy them else where.

Spartan-Drifter

did that skyline have a racing wing as well

JDM_DRIFTER

yeah.. It has a wing and mirror parts as well.. It's going to look sweet

Spartan-Drifter

man o man I want that damn body soooooooooo bad....... UNFORTUNATELY I dont have my ride yet...... But will get it real soon. Wish me luck

JDM_DRIFTER

I feel ya man.. I couldn't wait to get my paycheck so I could buy this thing.. I always wanted this body and finally got it.. It's worth every penny! Well I wish you luck with yours.. [8D]

Spartan-Drifter

thx i appreciate it

em x 6 racer

Lol trust me it get so much crazier. I just spent 450 on my project and that was without paint, batteries, charger, servo, and tires. I basically spent it on a roller chasis, radio, esc, and motor.

JDM_DRIFTER

That's about how much i'm gunna spend! lol. Yesterday I let my friend drift my car in a empty parking lot and he hit the lamp post drifting at full speed and broke my front left knuckle upright.. That's why I need aluminum parts so that won't happen again.

In a situation like that alum parts will bend. I will be ordering a ton of alum for my tt-01 and will post up pics if you would like.

em x 6 racer

Let me know.

JDM_DRIFTER

Sure [8D]

*UPDATE* Rc Mart sent me a Email last night saying how they don't sell Yokomo 5 stars anymore so I had to exchange it for something equal or less in value. I was ok with that and acually kind of happy since I already made ABS tires since Yokomo drift tires wear out so quick. So I exchanged it for a Tamiya lighting Unit and I added some extra orange lights to that for the side markers since I always do night runs [8D]

piccorevo

Any chance we could get some body-off pics please?

JDM_DRIFTER

I will once I am finished hoping-up my car. I just order another cart of stuff at RC MART.. My last order hasn't even come yet. I got Mostly aluminum parts because my plastics break easily.

JDM_DRIFTER

Yeah. I probally won't have the parts until the week after next week. I will post pictures up for sure after I install and the new hop-ups.

studysession

That is a lot invested in hop-ups....

I bought a tt-01 kit today. For an ESC I will use an MTroniks Viper RVMAX. Will get bearings but not sure what else I will get. We will see.

xeliman

take a alloy propeler shaft,alloy sterring link,turnbuckles shafts,a better motor a raven s for exaple or a method r.

itsnotskidding

dude...i love it!!!!!!!!.....

that will look soooo sexy... i have updreded mine alot, i was looking on etamiya at all the alu hubs and stuff, but i have to say i cant wait to see yours, i will agree with someone else who mentioned it, plastic does flex better and has a little more play in it, if i were you id make her a shelf queen!!!....or pic it to tamiya and get a mag cover and free stuff....lol
