Indeed alloy parts are expensive, i know it from my mad forceI will warn you up front if you want alloy parts it can get expensive,mostly because cars are older and parts are hard to get. It might take some patience and time.
I don't think 3speeds exist for these cars,2speeds though for some.
I live in Greece, here in Europe 1/5 scale cars are kinda popular.I told you how to measure for correct body size. Also if your used to nitro,remove any thoughts cause - this ain't that.?
You are extremely limited in body choices.
As I said most of the cars are based on older models,meaning not to much in New bodies made anymore +some personally made ones show up though. There's major licensing issues involved causing most people to stop making New ones.
Outside of USA is gonna be your best bet in unique body styles but their still going to be hard to find. Where are you located?, because I come across all sorts of things in my constant searching for parts.
I don't know of a supra body being made,if it was, it might've been hand made.
I'm not shocked anymore when I come across stuff that "Don't" exist, like my F40 Body.
It's only 1 of a few a company made in the 90's. I have heard of 1 other based on someone say so but never saw.
(Only problem is, its the one car I don't have a chassis for.?)
When you verify body size + your country, we can start looking.
I know of bodies that are available but you'd have to know where to look. Another thing bodies can get extremely pricey. When I started I wanted a mustang body but kept missing the one I wanted,as it turns out it's extremely rare again but one showed up for sale a few months ago @ $750.00!!.
So never say never but it was just to much $$ for me.
There are also some good "Copied" bodies for a good price.
Yes your taxes are crushing. At least its a rather scenic country?I live in Greece, here in Europe 1/5 scale cars are kinda popular.
Yeah i noticed that there are limited bodies...mostly BMWs and Benzos and alfa romeos ?
Then most probably i will end up with a BMW M3
I will take the messurements once i get back to home in some days ?
with 750 you could buy a new model ???
Mostly Japanese cars ?That's why I was telling you,it's going to be expensive. I learned the hard way.?
There is a company in Greece selling fg parts.?
Any idea of what other type of body your looking for?.
oh ok, then better go with hydraulic brakes.?I'll fill you in on your need for multi speed transmissions. They are junk. Parts are hard to get, and inevitably they end up needing special one way bearings that are hard to come by. Most of these models will go 40mph out of the box. With a slightly worked up engine and proper gearing it is easy to wheel stand up to 60+mph. Save your hard earned cash on better upgrades.
Yeah ahahaha and the problem with me is that i work on 5-6 projects at the same time ?? for example i still work on my kyosho mad force on which i already spent arround 4k euros and still didn't get aluminum axles ? one heavy modified pulling tractor with 4 engines, i restore one kyosho lamborghini c1 cat nitro boat, also i work on a nitro vehicle with screws insteed of wheels and also i restore a thunder tiger nitro bike ?Thanks Prof....lol?. He needs other things before he gets to that,money might be a big one.?
I kinda know the expenses of 1/5 scale RC, i just neveer had one? i have some parts from 1/5 scale installed on my mad force for example.No problem sd73,
I would've advised him against,if it came to that. He's just finding out how expensive things are,that always tempers desire/reality.?
True, also what i understood from my builds all these years is that the more simple it is the better ?Just don't want to see you buying junk mate...
