Dan 0 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 God knows what the name of mine is, got in from Tandy. It was about $60 or so. Runs off a rechargable battery, goes between 4 and 8KPH, and is huge. So far i have smashed 4 other RC cars with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt Jamie 0 Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 Great fun, smashing other cars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 0 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 yeah , it is smash ones like Schenks, that are weak. Kids are like, i have the coolest car ever, and im standing the the crowd watching, control hidden behind my back. He swings his car around for another pass, its little ethanol engine strained to the limit. A rumble in the bushes, and zzooommmm, my car shoots out, and skids to a halt in the path of the faster car, the boy swings the controls wildly, moving his car to the other side of the road, but i jam mine forward, smashing into the side of his. It rolls, and mine just runs straight over the top, does a nice wheely, then parks at my feet. hehehehe, good times, fond memories Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SnowFella 8 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 hope you have got a faster motor for that Focus Schenk! The one I got was hopelessly slow with the original motor so I got a faster one, boy does it scream now! Even more so if you strip it of some parts in the transmission turning it into rear wheel drive only! I've got that one and one of the normal buggy types of RC cars for rough handling! Even cracked the chassi on that one when playing with it on some bmx jumps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chems 0 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 lol silent night i think you might be a bit of a bully! Got any pics of these, i love the suspension, very clever the way its done on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt Jamie 0 Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 There was a kid who had a 3 foot long Hummer he was bragging about. My car is about 1/3 of this Hummers size. Hit him full power in the side and knocked him over. awsome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even cracked the chassi on that one when playing with it on some bmx jumps. Not a faster motor yet, but its pretty bloody quick. 30-40km/h top speed based on point to point time calculations. I wanted to try that RWD only thing next time. Other mods include a re-inforced front inner bumper (aluminium bar across front to shield bumps), and an aluminium skid plate from te front down under the chassis to around 1/3 of the way back. Good for going up gutters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
