RWD radio control?

[Still_looking]

Anyone got / knows about RWD radio-contolled cars..or am I stupid in thinking that you can get them? I'ts just that I was thinking of going out and buying a kit but I have no idea about this sort of thing..(..I just got my pay arrears from last June
! :D )

Most radio controlled cars are RWD, or they used to be when I was a lad.

If not RWD they are 4WD, I've never seen a FWD one.

wouldn't you love to radio controll your 2***** :D

Now that would be cool ;)

I've got one, 1:10 scale 406 (no, I'm not taking the p*ss out of the 14a:D ), its top. Can't drive it on smooth surfaces though 'cos it just spins

[Still_looking]

I just assumed they would all be FWD / 4WD?

There are relatively few fwd models, Tamiya mini and 306 rallye spring to mind, My ones are mostly 4wd, although i can just drop out the transfer shaft and get rwd...

Much fun though...

I have been looking into this a lot recently. The Tamiya Electric ones are about £89 and I think they are quite good, but for a bit more cash you could get an HPI, have a look here:

I can get hold of copies of the Tamiya cars for around £40 odd, the quality is not as good, but they only get crashed into the kerb anyway!

You can get an S15 in HPI body shells :D

Ooo:) it might be time to ditch the Integra Type R shell now then:)

Hmm sun's out, might be time to charge the batteries up.;)

Can you run those HPI's on a normal road?

I thought they looked very low in the pics.

:confused: We used to run ours in the car park at work. One even got run over by a Smart Car:D It survived though, with just a broken wheel:D
