My Sprint 2 Drift with an E30 Body

i'm loving that picture. i really wish i could find a 300mm E30 body for my WR8.

Working on an exo made me not buy one. But they do rip for sure.

i think after building the kit, it's not too bad. at least i know where things are supposed to be.

Old school

there's just so much appeal in vintage tamiya. i built a lunch box a while back and gave it to my nephew after a few runs. he's bashing with the lexan body i painted up for him and i kept the stock shell. i might pop it on my savage XS since it's the same scale.

here area a couple of my savages...

that is way cool. i still really want a big 1/8th monster. my baby savage XS is fun but i really want a TT MT4 soon.

Ah, my first RC car ever! That thing is CLEAN, too! I have one now, but it is not running, or will it ever. I HATE working on those things!

New tires...got them dirty!

[jrmcm]

That thing is CLEAN, too! I

It should be, it had only been run once when that picture was taken
It is a re-release that I had just finished building. I had one back in 1985, and when they re-released them, I absolutely had to get one. My original one vanished long, long ago. Honestly, my favorite part of this was the build. *Warning, sappy story incoming* When I was a kid, the first one I got was a Christmas present that my dad and I built together. I bought this one a year after he died, largely for that nostalgia. Bittersweet.

As for this particular car, I didn't build this one perfectly. Partly because it had been so long since I'd built a Tamiya car, and partly because I plan to run this one and it will take some abuse. I plan on buying another Frog and doing a pristine build with that one with no plans of running it. Maybe stupid, but I want the clean relic

HPI Savage Flux HP converted to 1/5 scale.



2k worth of parts including extra motor and ESC = ZERO downtime.



Beefed up axles, not yet installed.



Dirty



Note. Don't use a 17 lb 1/5 scale on the street. This was before I had the beadlocks and the foams wrapped = out of control vehicle @ 40mph > SHIN DAMAGE. LOL

I just got this little toy yesterday. It's Sprint 2 Sport with GTR 35 body. Can someone recommend a good website with drift wheels and tires? I'm trying to get different wheels with more offset. Something like the guy couple post's above me with BMW E30 body.

I bought a 1:16 Rally VXL



Then I turned it into a Slash


Now it's a mix of both.

Ive never been into hardcore RC, perhaps because i always felt it could be an expensive hobby so i settled for RTR type off the shelf RCs, lame i know. However, I have started a customization/mod on a new 'toy' that was given to me from the holidays.... Its not a car
