Can you give the address of modelart?

?

Hmmm... search

http://www.rcindia.org/rc-outlets-and-resellers/mega-list-of-all-rc-outlets-in-india/

Their website http://www.modelartindia.com does not seem to work any more, so it was removed from the above list.

The web page is on for sale.... hmm..

The price at model art is the same. Rs 6995.
Its at FORUM MALL, KORAMANALA (third floor , one corner just off the stairs and next to the lift

)
i shall PM the concerned mail ID.

They must have let the domain registration expire.

A business like that really needs a web presence. Rajesh/Rotorzone or others from Bangalore who meet Avinash from time to time should mention this

I already messaged the owner to fix the site issue. Call the shop on this number, 080 22067675. They had a gr8 deal running a while ago.

The after sale service & parts availability is gr8. The phoenix is a rear wheel drive and it will be very hard to control..

@above the limit: thats a part of the challenge isnt it

Sreedhar · June 22, 2010, 04:58:38 PM

Ohh GOD dont scare me "above the limits"""..

BTW guys are there any fundamentals to follow in case of RC CARS/trucks /buggies?

? like airplanes or helis?

Divyam · June 22, 2010, 06:51:09 PM

Nah. Just keep the Dual Rates low for the 1st few runs till you have a hang of it... Its not that hard...

Sreedhar · June 30, 2010, 10:52:06 AM

Hai guys got my truck... took it for few spins.. got the feel of the controller.... Guys have a doubt... should we remove and clean the tires after every run?

rajathv8 · June 30, 2010, 11:51:43 AM

It makes sense to clean AND lube any RC item (planes/helis/cars) appropriately, which is typically the end of a flying/racing session. You also need to check for anything coming loose periodically.

Thank you... anwar bhai i will take a note of it... bhai what should i use for lubrication???

anwar · June 30, 2010, 09:53:10 PM

I leave the lube question to Ajo, since he is the car expert

Some cars also have oil in the shocks etc (in addition to lube in the bearings/joints), so that is another area to be aware of.

ajoooo please help....
