Title: My New Baby Tamiya Gravel Hound..
Post by: kaps on June 21, 2011, 10:00:14 PM
After much discussion on the forum on a Beginer RC to start with i bought the Gravel hound.

It is fast enough for me to handle and i think its good for a start.

Now the next big question is to find place to run it.

So Bangalore guys i am exited to meet everyone and learn the tips and trick of the sport.

Where do you guys drive in bangalore...
I could see PitStop is a poplular spot.

Do we have people driving every weeked @ Pitstop.

Any other places around marathalli ?

Nice car man! :)
I normally run at a dirt road behind my house. Has some traffic. SO when ever the cars come, I simply move my car to the side of the road.

Marathahalli seems to have loads of space to drive! I dunno though. Could be wrong.

He was the one who carried the XXT from chennai to blore and helped me save shipping :)

He has a HPI drifter - actually looking to sell it. He also wanted to sell a Futaba 3ch radio. He paints body shells and they are pretty good.

Even though I'm not 'kaps',I'll answer your question :D

It is driven by a motor.And it is not nitro because the obvious cooling head doesn't stick out of the body.An easy way to differentiate between nitro and electric cars. :)

Usually,hobby grade cars are quite expensive.It costs :Rs: 14,700 at adventure wheels.The final price should be close to that.
