I predict this will have the same fate as the Micro RS4 -- everybody has to have one - after market companies will make "aluminum" everything for it -- and a year later you will see them all on eBay!

Just a note the receiver is a new spectrum the little one. If You have not seen these they are SMALL so it looks as if there is very little space in thet area. I hope they made it so our bodies will fit but I dought they did.

Yep looks like E-Bay fotter to me.... did they say the 1st 18th scale pancar??? surely I MUST have missread that!
The tires and wheels kinda look like funones size?
Maybe the BRP bodys will fit?? after all its SUPOSED to be a 18th scale pancar

Looks like it handles great for the speed its running.

I will be getting one.

Hey Bud,

We closed down this summer. My dad sold the building so he
could move to a smaller place. It's a bummer.

Later

The stock motor looks to be a Speed 300...

I think it looks pretty good. I'm anxious to see how it'll match up with the V2. At least now the BRP will have a seperate class to run in (against different manufacturers).

Tower has it listed for $139.99. stock status: mid december

BudBartos
12-08-2006, 05:20 PM
Wow and thats Tower price. I see they have no parts listed yet.:(

Yeah and you know how tower is, if they say they will have it mid december,look for it in mid feb!!besides you can already get it from wholesale sites in japan for around 100.00usd.The 1/12 scale apearance is kinda cool.but I am with bud,looks like there is not to much room to use electronics of choice, so it will be more like what ever fits.It is nice to see another company besides bud making a 2wd 1/18 scale though.every body else is focused on shrinking down their 4wd touring car tech.4wd is fun for a while but 2wd makes for better drivers,and mechanics.

I think it needs a new style battery strap. Put three on each side pyramid style.

i wonder if maybe a four cell car with a speed 300 might be a good race car anyone try this out on a buds car? i know you guys have run it with six cells and you say its an insane run but i wonder if you switch to four if it would calm it down a bit and make it driveable and i also remember bud haveing a chassis that used a shock too what happened to that chassis any chance of it comeing back

BudBartos
12-16-2006, 08:55 PM
That chassis was the Pro chassis No way is it coming back. The center shock gives too much front end bite and with lots of testing Carbon fiber is not the way to go with a 1/18th car unless it is cheap thin stuff.The 300 size on 4 cell was about as fast as the stock motor on 6 cell.

okracer
12-16-2006, 09:08 PM
so shocks isnt the way to go then

okracer
12-16-2006, 09:38 PM
ok i just ordered a big block pod now what motor are you guys useing i dont see a 300 series motor at tower i am seeing a 370 size tho will that one work

BudBartos
12-16-2006, 11:06 PM
370 is fine get the 6 volt if You want to be real fast. They are for airplanes and should be around $8.00

BudBartos
12-16-2006, 11:10 PM
tower number is LXGLK3

okracer
12-16-2006, 11:15 PM

ScottH

Ok maybe they should rephrase it to say.

The first made outside the US, hopes to compete with BRP, sorry no parts yet available in the states, we-hope-nobody-notices-we-say-we-are-the-first-when-we-are-not, maybe we will have tire for you soon & try not to break anything for a while pan car.
