I have a similar car which so far stands me at about £500. It's a Losi Mini-T. Mine's had pretty much everything changed, so much so in fact that my nephew currently runs the original car that I bought before I changed it, all he needed to get it running was a new set of screws and wheels. Mine runs complete carbon chassis plates, aluminium arms, kick plates and fixings. It has uprated motor, servo, speed control and mini reciever. It's a beast, completely undrivable cause it just spins the back wheels and donuts on anything other than very grippy surfaces. I also bought a rather funky beetle shell for it which I tried to paint in metallic blue and made a right mess of.

I would get a piccie but it's in the attic at the minute. I'll get some pics of my others tonight, if I remember.

and the piste de le resistance, my brand new never been started (although I've owned it for about a year) Xray XT8

Associated B4
Associated B3
Tamiya Manta Ray
Tamiya Grasshopper (original)
Yokomo Drift Car
Losi Mini T

lol, the CF adds 250mph to the top speed, i thought everyone knew that?

That bottom car i spent about £300 on, mainly on the motor and batteries (very expensive) but subsequently sold it as i was desperate for money for a certain mini

i'd hate to think how much ive spent on RC over the last 3-4 years, thats not all my collection either, there's lots of other stuff i don't have pictures of

2 HPI savages
2 TL01 Drifters
Losi mini T
Hobao Hyper 7
Hobao Dominator
HPI RS4
Tamiya TT01

Any piccys of your difters?

[Monstrous]

I don't, they were in my old photobucket account that i don't have the password for

however they were nothing special, as i only had them for a short while, so didnt bother making them look good, they were function over form

i think one was a peugeot 405 shell and the other was a BINI

all stock, nothing special, just bearings and PVC pipe for drift rings

[TR7]

we,ve got a 1/5 scale subura imprezza with 24cc engine for sale to raise funds for our club if anyone is interested.

do you still have this car how much are you wanting for it?

All i did with the tires, was buy some PVC pipe, i think it was 2" or so, which is just slightly too small to fit over 10th scale wheels

then you dunk the PVC pipe offcuts in hot water until they've expanded enough to fit over the wheels, then as they cool they contract and grip firmly on the wheel
