Opinion on Hpi

[Lwh]

Hi,
Wish to get some opinions for hpi nitro car kits.
I am quite intrested in the nitro rs4 3 18ss....
http://www.hpieurope.com/kits/wv3mai...n&partNo=10256

Tai sing is selling it at S$550

They are also selling the sanwa mx-3 / sanwa mx-3s ( can`t remember which one ) for S$300. is anyone using it here? The servos that come with the kit are the suitable for 1/10 nitro cars? Can anyone recommend a good place to buy radio set ( meaning cheaper )? What other radio sets are suitable for nitro cars?

$550 is not cheap. Like Icon said, check with Winnie. OK, for the Radio set, get MX3S. It's a synthesized set, meaning you don't have to bother about crystals.

How about this?

.18 engine too and they claimed it goes >60mph out of the box! RTR set. Rotor selling at $515.60. If you are member, you can get 5% discount!

I agree that the price at Winnies are much more down to earth.

Don't know much abt traxxas. But getting a car from Rotor is something i would think carefully as 1. they don't know anything abt the cars they sell 2. they may or may not carry the spares.

Support for the car is very impt.

Agree with you they know nuts about cars. On parts, I think they have coz I've seen plenty of Traxxas' parts there. Replacements parts, not hopups. Anyway, it's not possible to carry every spare part on the list.

I still haven't come across a LHS in SG that carry EVERY sparepart for EVERY model they sell.

Never had a problem with Kyosho. If toykar doesn't have it. Hobby Bug will get it.

HB will even take apart a kit just so that you can have the parts to keep ya car going.

I guess U dun need LHS in SG to have spare parts or hopups now. I guess U know wat I mean?

actually i recalled winnie has done the same for me and a friend for our hobao stuff.

as we know, winnie stock lots of parts for her hobao stuff. but needless to say, sometimes stock finish liao. I remember for me, she took out the part from a rtr H7 and sell me. for my friend, she took out the whole crank shaft from a brand new engine to sell him. Quite steady i must say......as long as she dun tell me to wait 2 weeks....

It's good to know which LHS have parts/hopups coz things will break and sometimes you'll want it fast.

Online purchase is just another avenue to get stuffs but will never able to replace the LHS.

Hmmm... no wonder you always surf HKG website

I do see that Hobby place, Hobbybug, Toykar, Hobby paradise, BK, stargek and Pafic model (SLS) have got comprenhensive range of spares or hopups of the cars they sell
