This is an R/C the body for a C32 I own.........still have to cutout plastics and tint windows and install xenon looking lights in front and rear regular tail lights. What you guys think? I also have a new Tmaxx 3.3 recently purchased. I have to get wheel spacers cause car is 190mm and this body is 200mm and thinking of a stlyle of rim also.

HPI body is ok...not the best tho.

Kyosho came out with a W203 DTM lexan body for the 1/10 scales.

FrankW · 12-07-2006, 03:20 AM

r/c are great hobbies, but still quite expensive.

here's what i'm into lately. guess how big they are.

nlpamg · 12-07-2006, 03:36 AM

Frank, are those Mini-Z's? Let me know where I can pick up an M3 Mini-Z cheap...

FrankW · 12-07-2006, 03:48 AM

the ready to run one? you can check out kenonhobby.com they're in Arcadia. open for retail store as well. they have couple black M3 GTR RTR set.

BlackC230Coupe · 12-07-2006, 04:10 AM

I've already posted pics of my C32 before. I have 2 bodies painted identical, one with the wing, and one without. Wanna race?

Btw your decals are a bit sloppy, lol.

I use to be very into RC eveything. I still own many cars, trucks, planes, boats and helis. Its a easy hobby to make you broke though!

yeuchau · 12-07-2006, 04:32 AM

i like the m3

I only have one hand so my decals will not be the best. Trying to get a 7 year old to help isn't much help either.....so thats the best I can do. Yes this R/C world can make one broke. I have spent over $700 on mods for my electric car and over 1k on the two nitro trucks I had. I sold one and bought the latest traxxas tmax 3.3 and in spent about $600 already!

I'm not sure where it's listed on Kyosho's America site, but here's a link to their japanese site http://www.kyosho.com/eng/products/r...duct_id=100412

skratch77 · 12-07-2006, 11:56 PM

guys im into RC cars too

I have an old school HPI rs4 before the ready to run ones came out.I have spent around 1k on it and was about to get a brushless motor and new esc for it.

I had a 10 cell 3300 mah batt pack running a crazzy fast 9 turn double motor...man I love these cars.

man was this thing fast

I almost got a 300 dollar brushless 3.5 turn motor and would spin to over 90,000 rpm with the batt pack I was running.The funny part is I cant even get near full throotle with the motor im running now lol.

And after you finally spend all the money on mods, things usually keep breaking! I know that always happens to me, i am always buying replacement parts!

Trekman · 12-08-2006, 01:50 AM

I use to have RC gas cars and electric I sold them. I just have one Monster GT

c32used · 12-08-2006, 03:13 AM

Yeah they break but its all in fun ya know

AMG_55 · 12-08-2006, 06:49 AM

i had/have (dunno where it is) a team losi lst 2 1/8 scale truck. i blew the .27 motor (stock) so i replaced it w/ axial .32, that ****er is fast, tops out at about 50. i also got titanium gears for it b/c the plastic ones couldnt put up w/ the new motor. there are also various metal/Ti parts on it.

i spent about 1200 on it so far, rc cars are a $ pit

c32used · 12-08-2006, 11:50 AM

Hereis one of the original bodies..............boy I love P-cars!

Ryanr317 · 12-08-2006, 01:18 PM

I have a black HPI C32 also. I'll have to post up some pics.

Fifth Ring · 12-08-2006, 02:06 PM

Is it possible to buy a "dummy" rolling chassis for one of these bodies? I'd love a 1:16 or larger C32 model, but there's nothing out there in the diecast world.

FrankW · 12-08-2006, 07:58 PM

you'll probably have to get a chassi set without motor and esc. can still run you up a pretty good $$ tho.

DiceCedes · 12-08-2006, 08:16 PM

Those are sweet cars, the C32 and the M3. Tell me more about them. What do you have to buy and where? What will the C32 body fit on?

Just buy a cheap electric car, it will work, but wont be to fast for 100$. Maybe less.

Nickerz · 12-08-2006, 09:30 PM

Oh man! RC stuff! I used to be into this HEAVY growing up. I still have my RC10 (Graphite Chasis) along with my Bolink Quaker State NASCAR replica. Back then, Novak ESC's and Trinity Modified motors (9T) with an Airtronics Caliber Pistol Grip controller ruled! LOL! Tower Hobbies was my one-stop shop to get everything I needed. I also have RC Planes but I wouldn't mind getting into the smaller scale car that Frank has! Looks very nice!

p rossi · 12-10-2006, 05:32 PM

Sweet, I too have one of those C32 bodys on my car. RC is an awsome hobby, ive been into it for about 15years now.
NEVER add up how much youve spent you will **** yourself when done. I race1/10 nitro touring and have spent about $4k on that car alone with all the engines and equipment i bought. Now the car is kind of dated, for racing, and i need to buy a new roller. aggrivates me because i have enough spare parts to build 2 more.

c32used · 12-11-2006, 12:58 AM

Glad to see so many people in the MB world into this or were. I say my electric car is outdated by now its a 1/10 team associated model with all the mods practically. I am afraid to see what it would cost to update everything now. The Tmax 3.3 I prefer more and really won't mod it too much. This year I plan to run it in the snow! They are alot of fun.
