Hello,

I need a whole set of the car, working condition, running atleast, may be old or new, I am ready to buy it.
Price Range - not much, as I am student itself, around 10K to 12K Rs.
Interested one's, IF ANY, replies are welcomed.

   i recently saw a nitro buggy in hobbyking... TURNIGY NITRO RUMBLE...
   its a 1/8 scale buggy at $147+shipping ....would come around 13k with shipping....
   it would be a good one to start with.... reference and bit of racing....
   better get that than a used local car.... and moreover good brand cars cost 40k ....even used cars
   
  hope this helps

Are you looking for an electric or nitro RC?

You can get a Tamiya - Schnitzer BMW M3 Sport Evo 1/10 scale kit for Rs. 8050/- (does not include the transmitter/receiver) or Tamiya - Porsche 911 GT3 Cup VIP 07 1/10 scale kit for Rs. 10,500 (Transmitter / receiver not included).

There are many more models in kit version.

You will have to actually build the complete car by yourself.

Nothing like building a model from scratch. You will get to know everything about the car setup.

Let me know if you need anything in Tamiya.

NOTE: These are electric version kits.

@Dhineshkk: yup, thanks 4 da reply... i'll surely c to it... is it this car u talkin' about??? Link: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__25133__Turnigy_Nitro_Rumble_1_8th_4wd_Nitro_Racing_Buggy_ARR_.html

@rajathv8: NITRO... electric 1s r fast... but nitro's r ma favourite & currently workin' on it!

@dst161: i wud lyk to electric ones... but competitions does not allow Electric engine cars, so needed nitro 1... yup, i hav to build it from scratch or else i wud be disqualified!!! dats da rule... but thnx 4 da reply!

absolutely.....thats the car i was talking abt

@dhineshkk: thnx dhinesh... i lyked dat car... & its cheap too... i'll c wat i can do!!!
is it online buy??? or it has store 4 it in different regions...

@Monu: The hobby king buggy is definitely good and cheap but make sure that you can arrange yourself a Transmitter and a Receiver or at least you can borrow it from someone and then order else might have problem at the last moment.

Also FYI, importing an radio by yourself is not really a good idea at all..... they will be detained at customs....

There are many threads here on this site where many people have got their items detained just because of the Radio in the parcel....

So I strongly recommend not to even think about importing a radio from out of India.

There are many dealers here in India who import and sell both cheap and branded radios.

@dst161: thnx for dat valuable info., it might come in handy for me...
& wat about glow driver... the article about the car says u require glow driver... dont dey give glow plug with engine itself... confused...!!!
& yup... i lyked ur page on FB too...

@Monu: First of all thanks for liking my page on FB.

About the glow driver, I also read the details and looks like they do not include the Glow Plug or any other required accessories.

And glow plugs do not really cost much. I stock OS 8 Glow plugs  which are universally used in Cars, Planes and Helis also and they are less expensive compared to other parts.

On top of that OS 8 glow plug can be used in any weather (climate) condition.

BTW I am going to place order for Thunder Tiger products in a few days... if you want something then let me know.

Thunder Tiger also has good cars with decent quality.

u can buy it online and get it delivered to your house .....and just get a spare glow plug and also a glow igniter
when u order....hobbyking has an igniter for $3...to use with AA batteries....

Check to see if parts for this HK car is available. Since you are going to use for college, you will break parts eventually. Get something that will have parts.

+1 for mail4ajo

Thunder Tiger is a decent brand and priced decently....

Spares also are easily available.

@dst161: yup, surely... i knw a frnd who said he has TT (Thunder Tiger) car... but i didnt knew anythin'... hence ignored... i surely tell u about it... if u hav a budget car around 7K to 10K i wont mind... plz place an order for me... i'll surely pay u for whole set... with spares... & yes home delivery 2... since u r a dealer u knw well dan me...

@dhineshkk: yup... its really cheap... i seen it on da site... thnx again... valuable info der...

@mail4ajo: okay... got it...

Monu, may I implore you to refrain from using SMS language, and post meaningfully, I am sure you understand some people can't follow your da language

@rcpilotacro - hahaha... habit doesnt go easily... i'll try... dis site is new 2 me... & way different "than" FB...
