Anyone knows what is the cheapest nitro 1/10 on road car without the elctronics. Also if I buy a nitro car where can I play it.

i will say the most value for money, beginner and decent kit is the V1S2. How much i am not sure. as for where to play, Marina South, East Coast, Hobby Paradise.....

If i am not wrong, V1S2 is 499 at toykar, readyset. But if u want chassis only... Maybe V1RRR? btw,toykar selling V1RR at 800 readyset!

If just the whole car but without the electronics but have the motor one about 400+. Like that I have to save up until end of next year to buy. :bh :bigcry
haowee
04-05-2005, 10:50 PM
Or how much is a second hand one with the motor but no electronics. :sneaky:
I would recommend the FW05T.
It come ready set for $490(or $499 not too sure) at Hobby Bug and i think they throw in a gallon(well its a tin anyway) of fuel too. The other thing is the 05T comes with 2 speed installed so it goes pretty fast.
All you got to do is get 12 AA batts and a glow charger (and the ones at hobby bugs you can install a D size batt) So technially you can play the car from the moment you make your purchase.
The most critical thing in owning a nitro car is the running in period. Do it well, and the damme engine will not die on you. Ben's darn good at running in an engine :up I am sure he will help and guide you run in your car.
The other good thing about the 05T is that you can slowly upgrade it with lighter components when you get better and build it up to a 05R specs.

yep i reccomend 05T too. Its cheap and good. RTR is the best part. But unfortunately it is shaft driven :bigcry . Belt drive gives more speed.

Only a little bit more speed. And its only on the straight. :z :z

wah, din know that the FW05T is that cheap. So how different is the FW05T compared to the FW05 & FW05R
Frankly, for people like me, that negligible amount of speed, i cannot feel or see with my eyes man. I dun race. so may not have much diff for me be it shaft or belt

FW05S was the 1st version. Similiar to the 05T except for the following.
05T has the 2 speed installed. 05S only single speed.
Uses a slightly different Kyosho Engine(slide carb).
Comes complete with Radio Gear.
It has plastic composite center shafts(05S comes with steel center shaft).
Comes with painted bodyshell.
FW05S is no longer in production.
FW05R is the kit version of the 05S.
Comes with 2 speed.
3D clutch.
Some kind of fiber upper deck.
Different fuel tank.
Alloy center shaft.
Machine out Chassis (a lot stiffer).
Alloy steering plate (the S & T uses plastic composite)
Not sure if there is any more diff.
FW05RR is almost a completely new car.
Similar to the FW05R except is comes with a completely new hubs and front end. The front is based on the VoneRRR. So i guess you get better steering.
Chassis seems ot be the same. Don't know much more then that as i did not consider the RR. If i had considered that i would have gotten the VoneRRR. Same price.
One more thing about shaft... hey don't stretch..unlike belt.

can I just buy the FW05T kit without the electronics because I have a few spare servos one transmitter and reciever.

Then buy the V1SII i think its the only kit in the form u want.
Err why are you rebuilding a kit 10 time in 2 weeks???
Artyspec
05-05-2005, 07:43 PM
I think you should get the RTR version. Or you get some pro to assemble it for you. I realised this after building my V1S. small mistakes here and there give alot of problems. If you want to save some maintanance costs, you have to make sure your assembly is perfect. Like for me, I have destroyed 4 steering servos eversince i started plaing with my V1S. each time i stupidly paid 35 bucks for a Sanwa servo. It was only later when i realised that i could buy Hitec servos which are either MG or u can buy the gears on its own. I still dont know which part of my steering system is screwed up but at least i know that there is rotor and Hobbybug is not the only shop out there.
p.s. I suggest that if you are buying a car, go to toykar. Hobbybug gets its stock from there. Toykar prices are much cheaper. V1RR cost 800 full set while Hobby Bug only sells the V1RRR which cost over 1.5K. And for V1S2, i think toykar is cheaper buy about 50-100bucks if i am not wrong.

YOu got to be kidding me. A VoneRRR cost 1.5 K???
I think you got it wrong. It may cos 1.5 K if you include a Sirio 0.12 race engine and a Sanwa M8 radio set plus all the other little bits you need. And that should be a Vone RRR WCE. Not just the Vone RRR.
No way Toykar can sell lower then Hobby Bug. If so no one will take stock from Toykar. HOw can the agent / distributor sell cheaper then its retail outlet.
The VOneRRR WCE kit is only 750.
VoneRR Evolution is on special as no one wants that car ever since the RRR came out and they are completely different cars.

1.5k was the price quoted to me by hobby bug for V1RRR. It is true that toykar is cheaper than hobbybug. i personally went to both places for quotations for the same car-v1s2, and got different answers. I guess ppl go to Hobbybug cuz its more convenient and that you go to track, crash, shop right next to it.

p.s. 1.5k quoted by hobbybug includes everything. Which model, not sure

i thought V1 SII got RTR also...?? Pardon me if i'm wrong... :freak:
If you don't know which version how to compare prices cos the diff between a WCE and non WCE is $200.
Also the radio set can cost anything from $150 to $680.
But i won't get from toykar cos they won't be able to help me run in and tune my engine. Same as getting stuff from Rotor and WHS. Althought their car kit may be cheaper by $50.
But of cos if i got a friend who know how to run and tune my car.. I'll just get from the cheapest source. :up

I dunnoe but official prices hobbybug cheaper. Everytime i go toykar they surely say got some special offer and the prices are lower than that of the website's. And toykar has more range. I feel that toykar tends to give Futaba remotes while hobby bug goes with Sanwa. But do you seriously think they arnt over charging me by asking for 35bucks a servo?

normally HB will be cheaper than TK. HB sells the RRR kit alone at 570+-....as for servo.....35 for what servo?

You could find cheaper servo like the Hitec but most nitro car drivers then to stay away from Hitec. for A/C they are fine but for car..hmm..
I am more bias to Futaba. :D
Yah it would help if you could provide detail of your $35 servo as in Brand and Model.

me too! i am biased towards Futaba. Jap stuff are goot... 35 bucks for Sanwa SRM-102. The most basic servo they have. Hitec no good? ono just replaced my steering servo with HS-322HB or HD i forgot. heavy duty one. So far no probs. Knowing i can replace the gears only comforts me.

Hitec are ok for messing ard. But if you plan to race i won't recommend as the car goes pretty fast with the throttle fully open. I use Hitec 945 on a MT its ok..not the best for the situation but i only mess ard with the MT. So don't really care and the Mt is pretty tough should i lose the steering.
Why are you stripping gears off ya servo anyway? Over tighten your servo saver and its not doing its job?

Yeah you are right its 645.
Wah so cheap har the sanwa servo. Thought onli hitec was cheap. from where har can get sanwa at $12? Cos Hitec ones are at least $22.

For 140 bucks i could easily have bought something like Futaba 9255 servo! Hitec 322 working fine for me so far. Fast enough. is a V1S with stock G15 engine, cant go very fast, its for my dad to use only, i use the V1RR with JR servos. :D

Hmmm... very unlikely that such light bumps would strip a servo :z
There is a servo saver in the S unless its not installed :sneaky: Even without hte servo saver, such light bumps would not strip the servo either :( Is the steering free from binding?
agree with orleng, if such light bums can cause the servo to give way, i think i want to quit my job and sell servo liao......like that every week i minimum change 2 servos.... :L :L :L
Artyspec
06-05-2005, 10:50 AM
yeah it is not binding. i set alot of buffer for atv too. It just happens when i bump, i lose steering, gear in servo gone, dunnoe where got sell. Is this the servo saver? if it is, its not working for nuts. i dont know anything about tuning so maybe you could try out my car some day and help me adjust :up . I think all camber is screwed up and tyres wobble when they roll.

Bring it back to the guy that sold you the car. They will help you set up your car. And tune your engine.
I built up my FW05S, brought it back to the shop to check adjust my set up. My steering was binding abit. Then got my engine run in and tuned.
Running real sweet and new had a problem so far.
i got a 103 from TK at $15 - $20, cannot remember
102 at TK? Where is that? Might wanna get some to stock up at $15 a pop. If its $20 I won't bother. Will just use Hitec as they are $22 and after member discount should be in the same ball park.

If your tires wobble I also got that problem b4. See if u got put the tires straight in or not. Last time got once I also put the small metal part not straight then the wheels wobble.

Just be careful with 2nd hand engine. If the engine was not run in properly it will be stuffed. A mate of mine got a V1S 2nd hand and the engine was damage. Could not tune at all. Ended up buying a new engine.

how much have you played this car. also, how many crashes have you had. such things does change the settings of the car

alot alot alot. but usually crash is cuz of lost of steering cuz of servo.
alot alot alot. but usually crash is cuz of lost of steering cuz of servo.
alot by itself will change the settings of the car. crashes even more will change its settings.
FYI, i redo my car setup after EVERY session. Meaning i will clean the car, redo the settings to make sure it goes back to the original settings before that session. All these just so that i dun go track to repair car but to play car. You will not believe how much has changed after every session due to vibrations and crashes....... :bigcry :bigcry :bigcry
I think to be fair to LHS who do up your cars, they can set it to run, blah blah blah, but they can never make it such that the settings remains throughout its whole running life. to continue making the car handle and run longer, maintenance and readjustment from the owner is also important :up :up :up
Agree with SSPP. I clean my car after every run. As the tire wear i got to reset my ride height and so on so forth.
I am sure you can get hobby bug to do the repairs set up and the maintenance for you but are you willing to pay for it?
I know there are guys who are willing to pay $50 bucks to have their engine installed and run in.
Just taking the car apart and cleaning it up will take at least 30mins. Then replacing worn parts and fixingn it bet plus settting up will take another 30mins or more.

It's a close race thus only those driving Kyosho allowed to race.

As long its a Kyosho you are good to go. :up
Just for your info.
1.) Touring rules don't not allow you to use a lola bodyshell (the so called le man style) :nono
2.) The 2 most preferred body shell on the touring circuit is the Mazda 6 and the Dodge Stratus 2.0 :up
3.) What is wrong with the 2PL? It got all the adjustablility as a 3PK.
4.) At the actual Kyosho Cup in Japan everyone is on controlled engine. That is they are all running stock GS15.
You can get the application at toykar or your fav kyosho dealer.
Next race is in June. 1st Sunday of June.

Is foam tires or rubber tires better.
For Drifting? For Driving?
Drifting there are special drift tires or most use PVC pipes.
Driving will depend on track but generally foams give u more traction. But there are also different grade of foams.

really? i didnt know that. Why is EP better in rubber? ok, i plan to buy PVC and put it on my V1RR. But the SG drifting thread say tat its too much power? say i shd use electrical tape and tape my rubber tyres. but they oso said that i had to lock my rear differential. Does that mean that i have to open my car up, and change the differential? Or issit easier to buy a TB-02 and drift from there? :L But again, drifters use TT-01? apparently TB-02 is a better car so it shd be better rite? Another question, whats the point of Expensive Tx like M8, M11 or 3PK? I know in plane Tx they have mixers, epxonential, curves blablabla. But cars dont need it. and whats the third channel used for? I feel inferior holding a 2PL with every1 there using M8 :freak: ...
Thanx
artyspec
p.s. went to PA yesterday, man those 950Rs are fast.(and loud) my V1RR like snail sia. too bad 950R is 1700 at far east without electronics.
responds time on a M8 is 3 times fastre then your 2pl.
if you get a chance to try one on your car, you will under stand.
next thing is that high end radios are in FM fquerance and provide better clearer signal to your car.
some radios like 3pk has the PCM feature inbuilt into the radio to prevent radio hits.
example if you have a 950r would you drive with your 2pl? its not say cannot, but if the radio fail and you crash your 3k car.. it would not be a smart move.
same story goes for digital servo and normal servo..
as for drifting?... no idea ... i dont like cars that dont drive straight!!!

To lock your rear diff, open up the diff casing and empty out all the diff oil. Use some form of Epoxy and fill up the diff case. That way the rear becomes a solid axle.
The problem with drifting with a GP is that you might over heat the engine as the car will travel at a slow speed thus resulting in less airflow to cool the engine.

Like fuse said..speed.
speed = money
you want speed you spend more, be it AIR/ LAND or SEA.
a hotliner (AIR fully equipt ) can cost ovver 2K
a 1/8 onroad racing condition is over 2K
a racing boat with FG hull and racing enging is over 2K as well.
a turbine powered F15 is over 5K!!!!
The need for speed is not cheap..
unless you are flying a speedy 400 pylon racer.
by the way the 950r is not 1.7k
lets break down whats the cost.
3pk with 2 digital servo = 720 (i think)
Stock 950 R : abt 1k
1/8 engine cheapest ( slowest among all) ( 700 )
1/8 pipe: 150
950 reciver pack: 50
950 body : 50
950 wheels (60)
setup station a required items ( 150 )
turbo plug plug ( 8)
special tools for centax clutch adjustment ( 30)
1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm hex tools ( each piece is abt 15 to 20 bucks. )
you do the math...
like i say forget on road 1/8 cars they are too costly!!! and they drink too much fuel and eat tires for lunch. :down
