these just look so cool for mini stuff, that it's almost tempting to get that monster truck I've always wanted, and bling it out!

I've always thought their stuff was awesome

What Monster Truck are you looking at? The T-Maxx?

always thought the Tamiya TXT-1 (http://tamiya.com/english/products/58280txt_1/txt_1.htm) monster truck would be a durable cool little truck..

There was a nitro truck (can't remember the brand or model) that did something like 80mph out of the box! That needs a bit more room to move

That's probably the Thunder Tiger EK-70. It's got a 0.7 cubic inch engine!

I'm not sure how fast it is, but thats the only one I can think of that would have a chance of going that speed. Thunder Tiger also make the RC R1/999R :2thumbsup

or just put neons on your bike lol

i suggest going to jaycar electronics on khyber pass they sell ccfl tubes

way brighter than a neon and either 10 cm or 30 cm and only 36 bucks for the 10 cm one and only about 5 mm in diameter... but damn they light up pretty...

smashed mine though...doh too low

Hi all,

follow this link http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/0001-0877-1244-2946-/auction-42849757.htm

or search trademe for BLING BLING in car-parts- wheels and tyres.
Not that I want these for show, but man they should improve your visability at night!
Are they legal? The MOE regs aren't particularly helpful. Probably avoid red, but the blue should be safe.

Any ideas? Legal?

Cheers

I think they're illegal on the road. I've had my eye on them cause I thought they were pretty cool. Some on trademe are only 5 bucks including shipping, don't know why I haven't got around to buying any yet

I want....anyone in Auckland actually stock them?

Come to think of it....I actually want to put some neons inside my bike fairing. Looking good. Seriously.Just never got around to see an affordable (and heat-friendly) one.....

www.elwirecheap.com

They have some pretty cool stuff on there pretty cheap. You could use the El wire to make flames running across the side of the bike, that'll look awesome
