Decent choice Anta. Enjoy your car and keep it in proper shape by maintaining it well. Do some reading on your cars specific issues and fixes thru the rcuniverse, rctech and other forums. Great wealth of info on those forums.

@crazypilot  Tons of reasons why one should have an rc car.The tech involved makes it real fun.And as Divyam said,it is the fun in negotiating terrain and it doesn't need too much room.Once you get into the intricacies of setups,you'll know.Why don't you try rcuniverse,rcgroups,thetoyz etc.You'll know.The racers are really serious.Small changes affect the car in a big way.And the best thing is that you can race.

And ANTA, good buy.Was my second choice,but going with a slash 4X4 for now.Enjoy your entry into rc cars and all the best.

Thanks a lot mail4ajo,Divyam,iamahuman.......

Is the car working fine now? You seemed to have some trouble with the engine when you came to Bangalore?

X1 has a old Chassis. So handling is bit challenging compared to X2, as per my research. X2 is the new version. It also comes with Spur Gear, Differential gear, Steel Braces connecting the chassis etc etc.. See on Amainhobbies.com, under 1/8th scale buggy kits to get an idea of what im talkin abt if you want.
Instead of wasting your money on buying the new version of the buggy you can simply upgrade your old one.

Hey Divyam, Long time no see. There was leak in the engine. So changed the o-rings on the carb, removed my pull starter and modified it to plain back plate. Fixed every this back with RTV sealant.  Car is much faster and leak is arrested, FINALLY.. So for now She is ready to kick some dirt.. Can wait for the weekend race in Chennai..

Looks as great as it will be:-)

More are in the works for this year, just don't know what, yet. I'm still going to give consideration to a Traxxas rally, and mod it to drift properly (it's crap in stock form).

nice rides.

What are the fans on the mustang for?(They look out of place for some reason).Please tell me you are working on ground effects on those cars.
