The 'Race-Tin' cars I mentioned previously



can be modified in the following ways.

1) Add relay to boost speed.
2) Customised DC motor/Gear box.
3) Turbo kit (Electronic), (3 versions)
4) Headlights (Night racing), brake and signal lights.
5) Speed reduction circuit for easy connering (Electronic).
6) Remote Horn
7) Large variety of rims and tyres (Very similar to real sport rims)
8) Option to modified to 4WD (Big foot)
9) Various design for Antenna/battery cover and other accessories (Intercooler/Nose).
10) Suspension

There's loads of models including Scoob, 206 WRC, Evo WRC, Mini, Audi TT etc

For less than £20, these seem a better proposition to me.

If enough people are interested, I can arrange to get a load shipped over.

A little more info can be found on the Race-Tin cars here -

There's a couple of places in the UK where you can get them, but nobody seems to have the mods yet. The RRP is £20-25 here, but I think I can get them for nearer £10 + shipping. I'll have to wait for a reply from Singapore. Hopefully, they'll be able to give me some idea of prices for the mods at the same time.

mines arrived

 

Ordered mine from ProjectK on Friday at 4.30pm and I have received it this morning before I got to work and managed to put it together once I got to work (even with the full-on Jap instrux!)
Superb fun but I think I definitely need to uprate the original engine!
Whilst ProjK did't have the Impreza on their website, when I called them the guy had just had a delivery and had one in Blue, just for lucky me!!!

 

Well just hooked a blue imprezza bit-g from ebay.
Now to wait for it arrive.

They are really cool little beasts.
Need to take a pic of it next to my tamiya, next to my sport

;-)

 

I bought one on ebay 5 days ago, and it arrived today! Excellent service from the guy in Hong Kong.

Very pleased with it - OK it's not going to set any land speed records, but it really is amazingly cute.

 

Mine get's shipped tomorrow. I ordered the one with the engine upgrade and tyres

Who did you guys use?

regards,

greg

waiting for the URL ambulance

 

Here we go

 

Mines just arrived this morning from Hong Kong

Blue bugeye with a 3 extra tyre sets (soft, medium and hard) and the 3.0 "Lucifer Rotor" motor. Well pleased

Now, if only I could read Japanese to build the damn thing

 

you mean you even looked at the instructions! just chuck it together, its made for kids how hard can it be!

Tiggs

"now whre did i drop that cog......?"

 

Did you see the size of those cogs

I take it yours arrived too today Tiggs Phew

 

clearly the japanesse have no thoughts for the hands of 6'6 people!

 

ok- who else has taken the tyres of the back wheels to make it do little donuts on the desk!!! lots of sideways action!

 

I've ordered one off ebay, but I'll be 8uggered if I can get the paypal to work - did anyone have to wait for the code on the credit card statement? That could be a month off for me. Is there away round it? Ordered mine from Stella models - do they accept CC over the phone/fax or anything instead?

 

Dj Dunk,

Does your 3.0 motor work? I tried mine, but it can't turn the wheels, even if the car isn't on the ground.
I'm wondering if I got a dodgy motor.

The standard 1.0 motor is still good fun though.

David H.

 

David,

Not had a chance to construct mine yet I'm afraid. Only arrived this morning and have to w*rk today I'll give it a go later and let you know if mine works okay

Dunk

 

Lunchie,

I got paypal to work no probs. I haven't had my first cc bill yet to enter the number. You only need to do that if you are ordering stuff more that I think it was $1,000.

Mine was also ordered through Stellmodels.
Once I filled in the details about payment on paypal I got an automatic e-mail from stella models saying it would be shipped first working day. ( hopefully that was monday so it should arrive tomorrow or saturday.)

It was the straight original no extras, if I have fun I might order the 3.0 motor, suspension and tires kit from them.

 

Iain thanks, but my Payapl shows that I have no funds available for sending. I have entered my CC details.

 

is there a way to use more than 1 at once? races would be cool on the kitchen worksurface!
