Are the cup racers any good for racing? (Excuse the possibly rather silly question there :lol: )

Its this vs a blitz ESE vs an SC10 for my next car. :whistling:

Yeah, its a bit odd in that its got a gear diff up front and a ball diff in the rear. It'll be fine for driving on your own though. :good:

Sadly I think I might rule this one out. Been bashing for years now, and think I can drive. Want to find out if that's true or not. ;)

Its not popped up in HPI's Press pages, so I'm assuming theres a snag somewhere with licencing or production shedules.

I have to say i much, much prefer the Porsche RS to the BMW, especially in the Martini racing colours... Looks simply stunning and makes the 2002 look a bit plasticy in comparison. just my own personal opinion though!

Anyone driven one of the Cup racers yet? They look really well built/designed but do they handle/drive well???

I think these cup racers are fab! I have been seriously thinking about the Porsche but maybe on a M series chassis. The Mo-5 is a good chassis as I understand you can alter the wheel base. The Wheel base of the porsche is also the same as the old Tamiya Porsche 959, so I thought about a more off road version on this chassis. Im just undecided at the moment. But certainly body wise they are some of the best
