phhh Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Could any one suggest any nice 1/10 belt drive self build kits but not to expensive? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Please clarify 'not too expensive', as it makes it suggestions relevant, based on budget. Do you have any rc gear at all, tx, Rx, batteries, charger?? If not, these must be factored in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 With that budget, your best option would be a Schumacher Mi1 touring car kit. However, it might be worth waiting a bit longer as there is a new version of the Mi1 being released soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_seyfarth Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You only specify 1/10 and belt driven. Must it be onroad or is offroad also ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) The Turnigy car 300bhp/ton linked you to is also a good option and would leave you money left over for a body shell, paint and some tyres if you plan of racing.

Good question, im not looking at racing it just i love the belt driven cars and the building side of it and it would just be getting driven in the street but also have a off road area too, could i not just change wheels for off/on road ? Sorry im still learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You won't get that in the UK warehouse...just the HK one. Doesn't take long to arrive though.No way you'll want to run that offroad though. The belts will get destroyed by grit/dirt, or pick up grass etc. You can run some tourers offroad on rally tyres...but I would suggest going for a shaft drive setup, as that's a lot better at dealing with the dirt and debris from offroad running.

Ok ill keep the belt to on road use, i have a tl01 cossie rally which i can use for off road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 It's not a self build, but a Team Associated TC4 rolling chassis kit is very good for the money and is shaft driven. I totally agree with nitro, belts will just get destroyed even when running on road unless it's a very well swept area you are running in.

Are upgrades easy to buy for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Plenty upgrades available for it as it the same as a 3Racing Sakura S Zero I'd still consider a Team Associated TC4 though if you're going to be using it in the streets.

300bhp/ton Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Can this be bought in the uk ? Just looked at it and its very nice I think it's only available from their global warehouse sadly. Although I guess it's worth asking if they could supply it from UK/Europe. Buying from global will make shipping a lot higher and you run the risk of paying duty on it. Although I suspect even with all these extra costs it's still probably very good VFM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
