RS4 evo3

Just wondering what you guys think is the best kit car money can buy?
With engine or without. i have been driving for a while now and i think i am ready to make the step up into a full race car so i can compete.
New to the forum so still getting the hang of it.

Engines: Lamberto Collari speced engines, modded novarossi 35plus21, JP Black fully modded edition, RB Concepts C6 modded, in other words, buy a nice high-performance engine and get it modded(preferably by RBMods/net). Modded engines are the best in my opinion.

As far as cars go, any kit from mugen, serpent, kyosho, and the 1/10th R-40 hara edition are the best way to go.

If you look to get a Serpent 720,

You may as well get a 710 instead and hop it up.

They are going dirt cheap at the moment.

IMO if you are prepared to dish out full whack for a 720 you may as well get the 835.

ProRCRacer88

Serpent 835 has been discontinued unfortunatly...[&o]

Banana Turbo

You can still buy them in England.

I don't know if he has a large amount of spare parts if you do break something. But They still sell the kit.

ProRCRacer88

Sad to see you guys have left out the UK and European Champs ,TeamMagic G4s.
Great car and the best speced kit out of the box.
Check out Racedayhaobbies for a great deal on TeamMagic and Serpent cars.
For a serious engine I d look at the Mega Masmo ,simply awesome.
Raceday sell mega and NvaRossi engines too.

Took me a while to write back but here i am...... i have another quik question for you blokes.
What is better for bitumen surfaces a foam tyre or a rubber tyre and i also am wondering if there are different setups for a car with foam tyres compared to a car with rubber tyres????

zxknight

What is the difference between SERPENT 705 and the Serpent 720?

razzor

For best traction foam is the way to go and setup is definately different between the the two types of tyres.
Depending on the car you go for ,you can search for setup sheets that can help you get a base setup for your car and track.

razzor

The 705 is a older chassis that is about 2-3 years old.It was updated and replaced by the 710 and and now has been replaced by the 720.
The car in the link is a bit steep for a non runner ,if it was with radio and starter box tehn I would say its a good buy.
Spares should still be available as it was a popular race car and a good easy car to setup.
I still have my one and use it as a loaner for guys wanting to try out racing before committing to new equipment.

Umm my car which i would sell RTR for $210 shipped!
