My Skyline GT-R

I have a skyline GT-R ...... But it's a $2000 R/C Car with all aluminium and carbon fiber parts. The car is indestructable. I would have some pics but will posts later. This car can go over 70mph. Tested it on a highway at night I followed it in my Maxima. It is HPI Super Nitro RS4 nothing on the car is orignal. I have two engines for it already too. Anybody else got a R/C car out there?

Does a single 12" sub sound good in your ride. I am looking to get either a single 10" or single 12" just for fill in bass. Had too much in my last car.

but.... yeah.. I have an Electic RS4, CVDs, 2speed tranny, was a Rally, but I put on a CF deck and dropped it to pro height with super shock kit. It's not *that* fast.

You guys ought to check out Kyosho's Mini-RC. You can get the Skyline for around $140 and includes a controller.

Best thing about it? You can still hop-up the parts and this baby runs on normal AAA batteries (usually a 2-3 hour run at best per set of batteries).

And yeah, it's a real R/C the size of your palm with real independent suspension and stuff. Turning is tight as well! You should see these mini's go

I had a gas RC, spent 3000 bucks on it. 500 bucks for all those crushed parts I got the best possible parts for it. Those gas are very expensive too, I parted the car on ebay and made 1000 bucks..

I can't imagine how you could wait for yours to reach 70mph because mine would take forever to hit 60mph. 80 was its top speed (claimed).
