More pics!

Didn't spend much time on my electric.
My short coarse truck.
Just got a decent modified brushed motor to try out soon.

Also finished my latest body, nothing I shakers can't do

really cool looking.

...mine's an "antique"? LOL, that made me chuckle out loud!

Thanks cali,

I might be wrong cali about your car. I have been looking through some forums for some older model carpet cars and haven't had any luck figuring it out. I don't really know much about on-road stuff. I spend most of my time around dirt. If you get me a manufacturing name I could get you a price, I have a local guy who is full of useless knowledge.

Garm, is it a 2-speed?

cali yaris · 12-03-2008, 06:33 PM

2-speed... umm..... they come in a 2-speed?

I'll take a closer look and more pics; appreciate the help, guys

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-03-2008, 06:36 PM

hahaha. There are some chassis that are 3-speeds.

This is probably a stupid question, but is there anyway one could incorporate VTEC in this thing?

How about a small supercharger or turbo kit?

What is this? Is it any good? Is it worth something?

Just to give you an idea of what this cars are worth, here's an updated model of a 1/8 scale just like yours, and remember that the price showing is without engine and electronics http://cgi.ebay.com/Mugen-MRX4X-MRX-...3286.m20.l1116

I know the nitros have this little thing that gives it an extra kick. I don't know what it's called or even if it actually provides extra oomph.

Yeah, R/C's aren't cheap, especially if the chassis is made of CF.

I think its a 1/8 scale outdoor car made by serpent (kind of like the one below). It has a two speed, but the engine needs a rebuild. I didn't take a close enough look at the engine to know what make it is, or how much it needs to get running again, though the crank was movable.
