Hi, Guys !! This is Prasad from a reputed Engineering college(BITS Pilani, Hyderabad).I need all the help from the experts in building an IC engined RC car. I have taken this project which kind of a compulsory course for me.I have gone through the various sites that tell us about building an this car. I want to know the minimum amount that is required to be invested. Are the nitro engines available at Hyderabad at prices lower than that claimed on the site? Can anybody can please tell me the minimum cost for the complete project. And also the sources in Hyderabad if any from where I can get the parts?

best would be to get RTR nitro car/truck and modify it to took like homebuilt................instead of searching for parts here and there...................i did the same...!!
would cost around 20-30k depending on car/truck model you buy and from where you buy..
