I think I saw some of the same type of cars at Hobby Bench for like $500. Full kit, just not as "Import Tuner'd" out.

Go to radioshack and get XMODS... they are a little smaller but they are fun as hell! just would need to get some PVC that fits the little rims they give you.... i think the xmod set is 50 and they sell upgrades, engine, shocks, wheels, body kits, wings... all that **** they also got an AWD kit...

LOL You're probably right, but that's still pretty cool.

I can't say I'd drop 1/2 a grand for 10 minutes of fun though.

call me an r/c dork...but that was a tamiya ta04 chassis he was talking about. the pvc makes the cars lose too much traction tho, makes them too slow.

I don't mean to ask a stupid question, but.... how do you get the PVC attached to the wheels? Do you just glue it onto some extra wheel hubs or something?

Actually, I would know because I used to have an rc car.

this looks even cheaper then drifting in my f150. I dont have sound where i'm writing this so I dont know if any of thecars they used were gas but that would be cool too.

Tayami cars an I dont think they are nitro since they didnt make alot of noise but it could of been a microphone problem, but I am 90% sure those are electric.

yep they were electric, int he video when they were talking about the cars, they took the bodies off and there they were, the big battery pack.
