Changing Cars
How ofter do you lot change your cars?
I started with a B4 back in May and now run a Losi XX and Cat SX. Don't anticipate changing for a while. |
im still runing the b4 i bought for the worlds in 2007.no immediate plans to replace it.previous to that i ran a b4 for about 2 years no problems
|
Out of necessity - when parts start to wear out or break randomly, and it is uneconomic to repair.
Out of desire - far more often than that! I think I have only had two cars "wear out" on me, being my old HPI Pro 3 and Yokomo SD tourers. Taken about two years of weekly racing in both cases. Every other car I have had has lasted longer than I have been interested in it! |
I don't change the 2wd although I did try the Kyosho RB5 for a while. It's the 4wd's that I have a weakness for!! Over the last few years I have had 'several' Lazers, two D4's, a Pred and two B44's. I have also had an RC18 for a bit of fun and a couple of T4's.
Now that might sound alot but I bet there are a few people on here that will make that list look like nothing!;) |
I've been racing for 5 years this time round.
I ran a B3 for 6-7 months, then a B4 for a year. Moved to 4WD with an original xx4 for another 18 months and from then till now I got a secondhand zx5 which has been converted to SP. Due to breakage and upgrades I don't think there is an original part on the car, but it is still the "same" car... |
Like triggers brush.:D

I ran a borrowed MR4BC for last year's indoor season. Gave it back before I broke it more and the hunt for parts was getting tedious. Got a B44 and I doubt I'll be changing it anytime soon.

Go
I change mine if I think my driving is as good as it can get and only a new car can improve my lap times further. It never does :blush:

I've had very few cars longer than 8-12 months, I get very bored, very quickly. I've had cars from every on road electric class apart from Pro10 and bikes, and from 2wd, 4wd and SCT in off-road.

I've changed my cars frequently too, some haven't even hit the track before I've changed my fickle mind! 4wd 2wd DF03 Cobra B44 B4 XXX4 X6 DB01 XXXCR (may become a CR2) XX4 DB01 (keeping it this time) And I've only been back racing around 2 years or so. |
Tamiya Grasshopper ( back in the days )
RC10B1 And 18 years later :D RC10B4 X6 (non squared) XXX-CR (awaiting the CR2 bodyshell to come out to convert it ) and since yesterday RC12R5 (since the weather is shit over here , I thought since I have to go indoor might as well buy a "real" indoor car ) |
