nitroazza Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 old rc's now.. So id imagine spares are quite hard to get... They are pretty fast, come with a pre-ported .12 engine.. But there are other on roaders out there that are alot faster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash22 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 there are spares on ebay, engine spares are a pig but modelzone of all places still stock the gasket sets my ts4n runs a TT pro 18 engine with shaft start at the time i couldnt get a clutch bell for it so i turned down a tomahawk bell on the lathe to fit. mine is rapid but i do have the 2 speed kit belts are standard parts but the tension cams do wear as there plastic fitting bearings is a must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATZY Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 while walkin the dog a year or 2 ago i came accross somebody playin with 1 and i have to say it was pretty fun. build quality looked pretty good and didnt look like it would be too much of a pig to work on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Seem alright cars, mate has 1 & 1/2 of them to sell but I don't want to go back to 1/10. See reasonable quality, speed comes from the motor you stick in it, standard one's aren't too bad. Spares seem to be available but the cars are old now - make sure you're getting a good deal,from what I've seen you can pick a 'rtr' up for 50 quid-ish.

Jacksprogis Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Any idea what the top speed is , my mate has one for sale and just wondered if its worth it ? Thanks . Edited January 10, 2012 by jacksprogis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djyjrlz Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 its between 43-45mph depending on temperature and shell fitted. good car, i was thinking of getting my old one running again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landmaxdriver Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 i used to have one, was pretty quick and handled very well, pretty easy to work on too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 had one and it was prety nippy. Handling was awful until I did the diffs with silicon diff oil. that cured it's tendancy to swap ends under braking all the time! I only got rid as I was short of on-road places to run and just didn;t enjoy dodging the shoppers in Tesco's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayzie12 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I had one, and abused it but it never went wrong. Build quality was fantastic and the engine was nice and zippy, I cant really help of the handling as mine was converted to 2WD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goonertodd Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 i have 1, just dug it out the loft and starting to fix it up (which if i can do it must be damn easy) this was my 1st and only car very quick in my opinion, ive given mine quite a bashing and its still all good! not really any bad points imo, just need a good sized place to run it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam3101 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I was thinking of buying a used one as a bit of a project car, any hints and/or tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Main thing to check can you still get spares for it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
