Nice!

What's the offset on those wheels?

 

[Penguin-Police]

Not enough offset

 

[FuryNSX]

Nice HPI body. It's hard to tell, but are those the light buckets? Or decals for lights?

 

[Penguin-Police]

They're decals. I didn't have any gray paint so I didn't do the buckets. I should have just done them anyway in black.

 

[ediddynsx]

Very nice! Where did you get that? I want one....in black :smile:

[NSXFRIEND]

Very nice, what wheels are those?

 

[davidf]

Awd?

 

[blodi]

Awesome. I actually just got done rebuilding my old HPI Nitro RS4 3 Type SS (long name). I plan on getting the HPI NA1 nsx body for it and painting it up to match my car too. This just motivated me more!

Not enough offset

wow, thats awesome!! did you make it yourself?? id love something like that!

 

[Penguin-Police]

It's the HPI NSX-GT body. I ordered the 190mm one (for electric cars) but they sent me the 200mm one (for nitro cars). This is why it juts out farther than the wheels. Yup, AWD and most likely faster to 60 than the real NSX. It has about 3lb/hp. It has Tamiya Ferrari FXX wheels, 4mm offset. I guess I need to get some 6mm offset wheels .

I've lurked this forum for a while, and drove an NSX for the first time a few months ago. I hope to own one soon

What kind of wax do you use? You've got one shiny roof. :smile:

Pardon my lack of knowledge with these high performance models,but how do you enjoy them?I say this because the ones I have seen at car shows and in the paddock at track events are so quick,they just spurt from point a to b ,no turning really just spinning and squirting.Plus on anything other than perfectly smooth surfaces they are juddering all over.So my ? is really when is there too much power for these little buggers,and where do you go to really operate it?

I should get back into RC Cars since I live down the street from Tamiya, they have a track (not sure if its permanent) and events from time to time over there. I wonder if its open to the general public all the time though... :smile:

There was the possibility that the track was going to close recently. I don't know if the track is still operational. You'll need to verify, maybe by swinging by the track one Saturday.

If it's still open, the track is available for use for free when there are no events schedule. However, you need to be running Tamiya gear (chassis and body).

You have to go check out a RC race event to really see what the cars can do as far as handling. Suspension setups are very critical as in full size cars, and you can actually see what effects adjustments to the suspension do to the car.
Most of the rc cars you see in playing around in paddocks and such are just general hobby store cars. Guys running higher end cars like Mugen, Serpent,etc. wont usually screw up their cars running on bad surfaces.
I run 1/10 and 1/8 scale gas cars on a track that we lay out behind my work in the street. We have to prep the surface first though by cleaning it with leaf blowers and spraying some traction compound(syrup) on it.

 

[hockus]

I noticed you removed the side mirrors. Better aerodynamics? Any difficulty while overtaking?

 

[Oyagi]

Very cool.

Is there an actual bodykit maker that makes that front end?

 

[Penguin-Police]

Higher offset TE-37's installed

Holy shizle! Thanks Bailes.That is amazing I mean the scaled speed and acceleration is far beyond what a full size gt car could ever run,,F1 may be close.
