Hello all,

Just thought id introduce myself with a laugh
Although the only 996tt I have is this rc gas car, I do hope
I can trade in the ///M in a couple years to get the real thing!

You have to start somewhere. Welcome.

Nice...I'd like to get one of those to match my car. That would be cool!

Where do you get the body shells from?

 

Mark- those HPI on-road cars are awesome. Which one is it? I've been looking around for a while bc i'm still torn between gas & electric... that bad boy must be fast

Welcome !

 

Parker..gotta have gas!!!lot's of fun,and you don't have to charge up the batteries..just add gas and go!!!!

 

Love the HPI cars. I have a yelllow version of the 996TT (RS4) with a OS .15 slide carb, tuned manifold and carbon fiber mffler, modified clutch and flywheel Great fun!

 

Mark,

That things looking sweet. You should have tried and pulled it off as the real thing.

MWEELS

 

plus the sound... so cool... ripping around tearing up the asphalt.
Sold to me!
I always only need a little push

HPI has alot to choose from, and I certainly don't want to limit myself in case i find myself racing this thing ( i used to race on dirt tracks and ovals years ago - first car was the Tamiya Hornet )

I'm thinking RS4 3 Type SS. Do you guys run 1/10th scale or are you bigger?

Stephen, do you race? how fast is that beast?

 

Its actually a Team Associated 1/10 scale. Just put a two speed tranny in it. Probably doing about 55mph!



Mark

 

are those aluminum rims??????

holy s this hobby has come so far

 

Nice to see you have good taste in RC cars.

 

HPI or TA ?

I am new and ready to learn and purchase!!

Help!!

 

Parker I race, just not my RC. I take it out and harass the cars driving down my street. You should see the look on their face when this yellow RC blows past them. Only issue is the damn thing will cut all four tires loose at will. Reminds me of my old 930TT I built I figure it is doing every bit of 50. I can walk around cars doing forty or so. One of these days someone will run over it I am sure. Trying to control it going straight like that is a *****. You know what I mean. I can't tell you how many things I have run into. Enough that I won't bore you guys with a pic. The body is shot!! I had it out the other day with my son and the batteries in the controller went south and the car went full throttle towards a brick school wall. I cut it, but not in time to clip the right a-arm and knock two of the wheels clear off the hub and blew the tail right off of it

 

Stepehn you should make Stage 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Also I think NOS would be a good idea for RC cars
