**EDIT** Scored at the R/C shop!!(Same old post,modified with new picts)
I figured not making a new post about the same thing :P. Stoped at the R/C shop to see how much it was going to cost me to get the nitro running(if the guy ever ships it ). I came across this for $150 on consingment. Brand new. Ran maybe 3-4 times.
And now some super gay JDM shots!! :P
It needs a faster motor. Please buy my ----!https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...4922#msg844922
Well I've been wanting a new hobby. I have never owned a nitro car before(only electric) and couldnt pass this up.Got it for $88 shipped(won it today). I know I need a radio, Body, servo and some batteries but how much work will it be it to keep this thing running? I have read quite a bit about them but I have gotten different point of views.
Its an HPI Colt Nitro. The guy said he got it while stationed in Jap. land. So yeah Its JDM y0!

Re: Who owns a Nitro R/C?
i have one, dont drive it anymore cuz i cant afford to fix it,
i have a off road buggy by hpi, the biggest problem i had with mine was the spur gear, it was plastic and the teeth would shread off after 2 hours of play.
but i think the newer ones have metal spurgears and 2 speed transmision. also i broke the pull cord like 3 times.
