Hey Veeky Forums as a hobby I do 1/10 RC rally racing and I'm looking for a new project. Which rally car should I do? The only rules are: The real car has to be AWD/4WD. It must be cool looking and unique (so no newest Ford Focus etc. please) Must be made in 1/10 scale.
If it's available, try a Ford RS200, Lancia Statos, Lancia 037, or maybe any other Group B rally car. Those look really unique and are sure to stand out.

No really, fuck off and go and play with your toys elsewhere child.
Easton Butler
Pikes Peak if you haven't already.
Justin Gray
Sorry Mitsubishi Evo Pikes Peak specifically.
Adrian Hernandez
wew aren't you a cool guy user bet all the girls are impressed
Xavier Turner
Can't use that due to the regulations I think. Also shit looks fragile as fuck. That huge wing would break off after a few minutes of heavy driving. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0f8U62vu7bk
Yeah, Stratos would be a nice addition. I already have a Delta Integrale in that based Martini colours.
Or maybe classic AUDI quattro? That RS200 is expensive but cool tho.
Evan Ortiz
I would go with a GT Four 6th gen Celica, but that's because I used to own a 6th gen Alltrac which is basically the same thing.

Why am I not surprised.

Weren't these RWD?
is not Also why are you so insecure about having a hobby user?
Nobody makes these. I've checked.
Isaiah Perez
I both have a shitbox car and a shitbox radio control car So I win here I guess he's just upset other people like fun

>The real car has to be AWD/4WD >Stratos Did you queers actually read the question before you started blabbering jibberish in an effort to feel involved?
Austin Perez
Interesting finding this here. I'm about to go from a Nitro Rustler to a 4x4 Stampede electric. The maintenance on the nitro has been cumbersome and getting annoying. Can't wait for better throttle am but I'll miss the sound. That was the best part
Adam Lopez
>Group B RX7 >AWD you have to go back
Chase Ortiz
Yes. Was going to post this as well. Or rod millens group B inspired 4wd rx7.
Joshua Hughes
>Weren't these RWD? nope, AWD.
Julian Cooper
holy fucking shit you guys have to watch this video
I'm all for having your own fun and whatnot, but this is the gayest thing I've ever seen
just the hunched-over guys scampering around behind their rc car on singletrack is too funny
but, OP, I'd probably be a special snowflake and want either a Porsche 959, Mitsubishit Galant VR4, or the first gen Subaru Legacy rally car
Okay, another try. 323 GTX, but I guess I also missed with availability.
Xavier Cox
also, I can't imagine this shit costs much less than it would to buy an old Impreza/Neon/rallyshitbox of your choice and participate in grassroots rally like a big boy or just "rally" by yourself on dirt roads
Mason Reed
Im always racing around circuits etc and from experience i would advise you to go for a subaru. They are awd/4wd, reasonably cheap, have great performance and are practical for both road and track use.
Mason Gomez
>Couple of hundred for an RC car and everything you need >Thousands for a new car, trailer, crash safety, rally license, protective gear, travel to events
Were you born retarded or did your Dad beat you until you were?
Brody Rogers
Yeah, seems like nobody cares about Mazda.
Almost impossible to mod a car around here or to go hooning on dirt backroads. Another user was crying about that in here yesterday and he was 100% correct. And professional rally racing is not within my financial reach. This ain't the States faggot.
Hell if I have to choose between this and fucking I will go for something physical every time.
Nolan Hall
My friends used to do nitro cars. And after replacing parts every fucking weekend just dropped the hobby. It was super expensive. I bought a cheaper electric car and it' never broken. But I still won't take the plunge into nitro. I realize this may be irrelevant to the thread. But for those considering getting one.

Plebs out.

OP get a Kyosho Fazer. They have a bunch of bodies for it, mainly the evo like I have and a bunch of Subarus. KV2400 brushless motor, 2s lipo battery, sealed differbecause, a set of drifting and off road wheels.
Things I would suggest: >buy the aluminum center driveshaft >trim wheel wells because offroad wheels tend to grab the body while turning (or lift it) >replace all the shitty 2 sided tape with 3m 2 sided tape (wing, rear bumper, headlamp pockets) >buy a servo saver and at least 2 extra servos.
/t/o/y/ general now
Mason White
They looks fucking glorious desu. I might just start looking trough eBay just for the hell of it. I love that wing.
I have a XV-01 chassis already but I will look into the Fazer when I need to upgrade. Is it 1/10?
Samuel Morgan
someone has to meme it up, maybe it can be you i somehow doubt there's a proper representation of this out there but you could probably kitbash it from an mr2 kit
Jacob Sanchez
>Martini colours Repsol superior
Adam Sanders
Yeah its 1/10. I'm about to fab some covers for the steering pivot and center driveshaft though. I went into rwd a couple weeks ago when a rock got lodged between the motor and shaft and spun it loose from the driving gear. Easy fix though.
I'm trying to get a new motor and move up to 3s though. Getting "bored" with the kind of drifts i pull with it now. Which is funny to me because everyone at my shop has Traxxas RC's, but I hand them my controller and they just spin it in circles.
Luke Wilson
Holy fuck that would be cool. But it would take a lot of work for a consumable shell.
I've looked into the Frazer but the ground clearance looks like shit. It wouldn't survive 5 minutes of some heavy tracks. youtube.com/watch?v=0f8U62vu7bk
Jayden Rodriguez
How much does it take to get into this? I'd it expensive?
Nathaniel Bennett
Depends. How competitive do you want to be? Do you want to be able to win? Then maybe around 400-500$. 200-300$ if you just want to have fun and you are starting from a scratch. eBay is your friend. Sniping 150$ sets is possible but you will need to upgrade soon. You can train on these and then just move up tho.
Wyatt Taylor
Lift it? Almost every RC in that video looks lifted.
