My new car

[GFWilliams]

Hi everyone, I am new to the scale models secton of ph - my name is George

For christmas I got given an HPI E10 drift with an RX7 body. The car is brilliant fun to drift, and with a change of tires is a perfectly normal racing car (all be it not as ajustable as my brother's old team losi street weapon)

I have posted up a video on Youtube if you are interested(sorry about the quality):

Hi there,
A few months ago i bought a Tamiya tb02d. This is a kit which comes with no bodyshell. I already had the other bits, so i decided to put a green m3 gtr hpi body on it. It goes like the clappers and drift's beautifully. It only cost me £80 from hong kong which is a steel for this professional kit.

Hi there,
I bought it from my favourite ebay seller,stellamodels. Although she dosent seem to have any in at the minute. You should go for this deal as it is good value for money and a great kit. To get it to race you would need to change the wheels,tires and motor.

Heres some pics of mine:-

Thanks - will look out for it! I have got plenty of tamiya fitting wheels due to my brother (and also lots of motors)

I looks like you need bigger wheels on the car, and the bodysheel a little lower, but apart from that it looks great!!!

Regards,
George

Hi there,
The ground clearance has to be low so it can drift, and if i lower the body it scrapes, so its a bit of bummer .
I am starting to think about racing mine if i do i will give you shout.
