i want to get a nitro car that can be converted to a rally car. i was wondering what would be a good choice...i know cen has a rally car but i dont like that one. has anyone converted a nitro onroad to a rally car?

RCUSEE

well if you get the right tires you should have your rally car.

ill need more than tires to raise the car high enough to get onto dirt and gravel.

Yes, I believe AE made a kit for the NTC3. But I think Tamiya makes a nitro rally car.

Where can you find the ae tc3 kit?

Kyosho Alpha. It's a good and durable rally car. It comes stock with rally tyres. It's a very nice basher at extremely low price.

RMPROB

Is there a website that I could see the Alpha at?

HpiDrifter420

well considering that im in the states and can find site that even has a picture of a kyosho alpha i doubt i will get that car. i would like something that i can get parts for not something that i cant even find a picture of. it doesnt have to be a rally car from the start i was trying to see if anyone modded or converted a onroad to a rally car using something like a inferno gt or a hpi rs4.

RMPROB

I am also in the states and cannot find anything on the alpha, I even went to kyosho.com!

RMPROB

However I did find the kit for the tc3 made by ae, They make it sound like it is for electric only but I did some research and several people used it on their nitro cars and were happy! It is definately somthing I am probably going to get. Just search for ae tc3 on yahoo or something and it should pull it up!

I have a TGX Tamiya car which is supposedly a rally car
It has pretty good ground clearance for a road car, probably around 20ish mm in total, and I have driven it offroad (great fun) but it has to be smooth offroad with no rocks or bumps
Diffs, gearbox, electrics are all covered well, and it even has a plastic underbody tray to protect the chassis

basically, the inferno is an offroad car with onroad tires, so just stiffen the shocks, change the tires, and raise the body, and itll be perfect.

i agree to ferrarimk3. if you want a rally car you should consider the inferno gt or the eb4 s3 thunder tiger , these car have a great ground clearance perfect for bumpy road and its wider than the 1/10 cars .

ferrarimk13

yeah, you can even get longer a-arms for the inferno if you want, and stock, it has almost an inch of ground clearance, and u can get even more.

ok thanks for the replys...this project might have to be put on hold as i think there might be a 1/12 scale truggy class for racing next year. i might get me a crt.5 for now. i think when i start this project again i will get the inferno gt.

annie_himself

Its actually a 8th scale and some of the Inferno hop-ups will fit.

DIABLOTAC78

you mean inferno hop ups fits the eb4 s3? i have the eb4 s3 but i never know that, ill ask my lhs..... tanks for the info annie
