Well I can't ride anymore for obvious reasons, so I've been looking at ways to get my fix for speed as racing the Airtrek is not an option.
Got a moddified Tamiya Grasshopper 2 awhile back and its fun and scares the shit out of the cat, but after awhile it was slow and I was looking for something faster...
Well I might have jumped a little far maybe, like going from a 250cc (more like a 125cc I reckon) to a 1 litre sprotbike???
Enter the Baja 1/5th scale with 27cc 2-smoker engineAre moving into a plush neighbourhood later on this year so I want to make sure they know that I'm there and will be good for fun, but I really need to find some places to race and I'm wanting to put the feelers out for anyone who is also into the RC care scene.
The nitro cars looked cool but alot of pissing about, that and I love the sound and smell of a 2-smoker.
Apparently my new toy is capable of 80kph and it can still be modified far further to get more grunt and top speed. But then again there are better quality cars out there and it might take abit to get to terms with this one, but hopefully not. I've also got a spare set of wheels with tarmac tyres, I wonder if I could get a speeding ticket within a 50km area? I'd argue that I'm sitting in my chair not moving so the plod might want to check his gear or get glasses...
So is it just me thats into these things or are there other KBers out there doing cool shit with RC machines?
Oh, this thread is pointless without pictures so here is the Baja, in black of course.![]()
