RE: my new carson onroad from hobbythek (PICS)
thanks for the kindwords i think i can get a converter for the 220v,and my total cost was 800 shipped .still not a bad deal considering you cant touch a fg onroad rtr for that price unless you buy used.i got the tires and rims from troy at largescalerc.com , they were white just like the carson tires that came on the car but i painted them silver.that was the first thing i did was put the pmt kronos on it as soon as i got it out the box.shipping from germany to the us was 203.00 each car we got two.but i can say this the car in its box with everything is heavy real heavy and the box is huge.the car alone is much heavier then my fgmt and a whole lot bigger.

I agree. But the car is the cheapest part of the hobby. Hop-ups will set you back waaay more...FYI, bryan70546, you may want to change your camera's date stamp to reflect 2006...

RE: my new carson onroad from hobbythek (PICS)
Thats a sweet car. What I noticed about it is, if you ever want to upgrade the engine to a reed case engine, it looks like the cases will drop right in with little or no problem. That helps keep your options open.

RE: my new carson onroad from hobbythek (PICS)
Sadly guys, i didn't get my car. I HATE THE USPS. They left a notice yesterday and i signed it, marked for them to leave it at my door and what do you know. NO CAR AGAIN!!! This is has been a depressing couple of days. My first large scale car and the wait is killing me. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Bryan, it sux that there wasn't enought juice in your battery to run it longer. Doesn't it feel good though to have people drive by and stop just so that they can watch these beasts run?

chargeing was not the problem hellya ,we have the converters now so when can charge ,not chargeing long enough was the problem ,let it charge for about 2 3 hours , so we went and got alittle gas for a trial run ,i thought they came with a failsafe NOT , cranked right up , was running very good a little bogging ,does doughnuts real good ,died leaned out the idle a hair now shes running like a kitten gave it a little gas ,AND WHAM OFF SHE WENT right into dans front tire then starting going in circles.almost got bad real quick.so a failsafe is on the list .i should of know better , thanks good it has a huge foam bumper .but danial just had to see it run its all his fault.

RE: my new carson onroad from hobbythek (PICS)
I just now saw that......What size mah battery did the carson come with 1800??
You might want to upgrade to 3000mah .....your car will run for hours on a single charge
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-6-volt-3000m...QQcmdZViewItem
But with your wall charger you will be charging it for 3-4 hours for the 1800, 6-7 hours for the 3000
or 15-20 mins with a decent charger

RE: my new carson onroad from hobbythek (PICS)
Hey hellya, what's your opinion on getting an extra battery pack or two just in case? I'm guessing that you can never be too safe.
