Comments on an RC Car I've Found
Hey...
Another noob making another nooby topic. wow.
I've found a car that's really good looking, it's got the light kit, it's a Nissan Skyline thing. Since we can't post a link to it since it's an online auction, here s the details of it:
Here's a picture of the chassis if anybody can tell me some stuff about it:
And the body:
I figured that I can't afford a brand new one, so I'll have to buy second hand. I seriously have no idea what's good or bad, so should I wait for another car to pop up in the near future? or take this one?
Thanks HEAPS

I know the chassis is TT01. So everytime if its TT01, buy it. TT01 chassis is awesome for drifting and youll never regret it until you go for something better. Also its a good start. thats what im using right now.

RE: Comments on an RC Car I've Found
Thanks, auction ends in four days... I'll bid up to $350
Man.... I talked to my dad about it and he can't understand why I'd want to sell a nitro and buy an electric. He says ten minuites play and your back inside for 3 hours to charge it again.
I had an idea of bringing a trickle charger with me, and an old car battery. My dad has a car battery charger, so I could easily charge that every week, and it could charge a 1800mAh battery in 15 mins while I waste the other....
ooh thinking out loud, not good for the pocket!

i def think that 350 dollars is way over priced. also when your drifting you dont get 10 mins of play time depending on your setup you can pull 30 to 45 minutes out of your car and it only takes bout 40 mins to charge your batt.

NEVER EVER charge rc car batts on a real car charger
good way to start a fire or just ruin the batterys

I meant to use a REAL CAR charger to charge the REAL CAR BATTERY
Then once that is charged, I could take the REAL CAR BATTERY out to the track, and plug the quick charger for RC CAR BATTERIES onto the REAL CAR BATTERY.
Also, it's $350 NZD... If you want to know the brand new price of all the stuff, it worked out to be around $500 NZD+.
There's another one on there that ends two days after this one. So I won't even go 50 cents over my budget.
