    I have a few interests. I have been training in karate for 7 years now and have reached blackbelt. I'm a bit of a thrill seeker and enjoy going big on my MTB and BMX as well as the odd bit of parkour and free running here and there. Always had a huge interest in cars in general. love RC cars but unfortunately couldn't afford them until now!! However, I do enjoy Scalextric so have settled for 'collecting' Scalextric cars instead.

    I believe HPI released an option part to stop that issue. I'll see how it goes for now before getting the upgrade.

    Yep I will do. Been reading up on the whole process of breaking it in and tuning, just got to look forward to the weekend now! Thanks for the tip of using a hair dryer, I probably would have forgotten about that! Can't wait to get tinkering 😄

    Same reason I want a nitro, love tinkering with stuff like that. I came to a conclusion anyway and have just ordered the HPI. I look forward to my nitro experience!

    I did consider an electric model but i think I'd always have an itch for a nitro model

    Not overly expensive to replace damaged parts either which is good

    I have come across that, definitely worth considering

    Not sure I can afford a petrol car at the moment unfortunately

    Yeah that's true. Good point.
  10. Hi, I am looking to get into the nitro rc hobby but am at a point at which I am a bit stuck between a couple of cars. I would be looking at the Nitro FTX Zorro or the HPI Bullet MT 3.0. However, the HPI is £65 more than the FTX. Is it really worth this additional cost? If anyone has any experience with either cars I would be grateful if you could let me know how you got on with them so I can get an idea of what they are like. Cheers.
  11. Hi, I'm Ash and am currently in my last year of A-Levels and am looking to get into a HGV Apprenticeship next year. Got a couple of hobbies (Karate, BMX, MTB) but are now looking to expand into the RC world! Always had an interest in RC always having cheap cars from places like Toys R Us! However, in the past few years I have had a replica Tank, old Horizon Hobby mini truck and a Tamiya Rising Fighter. Never been able to afford a 'proper' car until now! Hoping that I can learn as much as possible and really start getting into the hobby! Ash
