tamiya ferrari f430 tns rtr
anyone own or know anything about the new 1/10 tamiya ferrari f430 tns rtr. there are no user reviews posted yet. it sells for for about $340.00. the specs on it reveal it has a single speed transmission with a optional 2-speed set-up for about $46. most rtr's in that price range already have 2-speed tranny's.

RE: tamiya ferrari f430 tns rtr
If you are a beginner and interested in starting in R/C, that car is a good buy. The car is ease of use and pretty reliable. Tamiya is a world leading brand in R/C toys and have been around for decades. When buying their products, you know you are getting decent quality.
If your only bashing the car around a street or with friends and not racing, then this car will be good. Personally...I dont think you need a 2-speed (unless you are a speed freak). But with the engine thats in it already, you dont need a 2 speed tranny for it.
Its all about having fun with it, not speed.

well said hitman...i myself am a speed freak so i did get the 2 speed tranny...it is way faster than the single tranny...the car out of the box is very nice and reliable...motor is very strong...and easy to tune...it was my first rtr...i still bash around with it....
