Hi Friends iam an RC fan too from my childhood,i've got my first Rc electric ferrari model in 97 when i was 12.And after than i got couple of rock crawlers etc.But after long time again i'm back with my personnel hobby in RC.I dont own any bigger vehicles now but iam looking forward to buy two models soon.But have to adjust my budget a lot(takes time)

http://www.axialracing.com/products/ax90028 for offroad purpose.

http://www.hpiracing.com/kitinfo/109299/ onroad purpose.

I dont have any experience with nitro cars so i prefer electric.

Hope to meet some rc fans in vizag soon.
Have a nice day all.

Hi. Welcome to RCIndia

Hey.. I'm from vizag too.. where in vizag do you live?  get the scx10 first you'll love it and from where are you planning to get it from..??

Hi rahul happy to meet another rc hobbyist from vizag,iam from muralinagar.Yes i dont want to order it online as i've read a lot of posts here regarding customs and other problems.
So iam planning to get scx10 first from one of my cousin living in new jersey.So i guess i wont have lot of problems.
By the way where do you live in vizag?
Have a nice day

I live in m.v.p.colony..  and I'm now into 2nd engg. Are you also a student? Getting the scx10 is a better idea because there isn't any onroad track here in vizag for the hpi that you were planning to get which will get you confined to your home or a small indoor place.. and nitro's aren't much difficult once you get to know of them.. a friend of mine has a revo 3.3 and was also a newbie....

Hey,
No i finished my btech and now working as freelancer from home,and yes i know there are no onroad tracks in vizag but my area is suitable to play out side as you know less traffic.Yes i love the model of scx10 and i love the mustang too thats the reason i've choosen two.For both i may need 35k atleast so iam planning one after one taking some time in between.wht models do you have with u.

by the way i've recently bought a silverlit ferrari italia for indoor purpose :-p he he i know its a small car.

Have a nice day

Yea a small car but fun for sure.. now go try the silverlit 3d twisters you'll love it..  haven't got my hands yet on anything r/c
but when I first decided to get into this hobby I was more of a car guy especially the glow ones but few days into signing up in forums like RCU,RCG & RCI got my focus shifted to all those glow birds waiting to get bound to my tx loll .  recently found a completely different love for freeflight rubber powered stick and tissue planes..... Right now raising funds for a tx..

Hey rahul
I was busy from last couple of days with work,yes the forums are more for flying guys than car lovers,but i still likes only cars.And by the way i've recently visited carzy car accessories shop in vizag with my friends for his Real car (lol) accessories,and there i found they are selling some diecast models and radio control models from maisto and other companies,and they do have couple of rock crawlers you can check them

i loved the 1:10 maisto models they have,and planning to take a mustang/audi (maisto) by this month ending 4.5k to 5.5k price.

Yeah I've seen them.. they also have a himoto gas buggy the baja5b lookalike... Saw the buggy from outside and went in expecting it to be a 5b but instead it was a himoto..   

hey I don't think you'd be able to get the scx10 with your cousin as it'll have a tx in the package as it is an RTR... You "might" have a prob with the customs....
instead if you're really serious of the hobby and would progress more into it get a kit verion of the scx10.... This wouldn't attract the customs in the airport as it doesn't contain any rx/tx in it...   Then get yourself a better radio like a dx3s or others....   And for anything spektrum you can get it delivered to you from Mr.kapil jolly of dogboneracing.com without any trouble....



Senior members please correct me if im wrong..
