Message me. I’ll send you info on how to get that detta getting more than attention and u won’t spend a dime.

Here we is my slash 2wd. It has a hobbywing max10 G2 2400kv combo. I run it on 4s. It has the lcg chassis conversion kit on it. That yellow brenthal shell is from my buddy wes who passed away. Actually, both body shells are from wes. For tires, I have picket SC c2 tires on the rear and some carpet tires on the front. It said the name on them but it got rubbed off. The tires are from wes too. I just finished gluing up some tires I got in a trade and I got this car and the other slash that I gave to @brighton and the ECX amp that I gave to my brother. The tires I glued are on duratrax six pack st rims. Don’t know the name of the tires though. Attached below are all the photos.

you know, getting this thing faster would be cool, but i just bash it around, not full on 100+ speed runs.

so, most of my build have been put on hold or canceled.... I realized this hobby was getting in the way of my getting an actual car. So, Bandit MM is off, the Vendetta won't be getting 4S, and the I-Beam PreRunner has been slowed.

So far my major ideas for my first car are: Toyota MR2 (SW20), Mitsubishi 3000GT, Ford Focus ST, Subaru Impreza WRX (straying from this cause I'd rather have an Evo and i dont want a Boxer to blow all over the garage) Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, (I want the X the most, but any gen will do me. these seem to be quite expensive....) Honda Civic SI (or Type R, depends on what i find....) Of the cars on this list I think I'm wanting the 3000GT the most. V6, 4WD, 4WS, and it's the cheapest of the bunch.

Honda Civic

Racecar spelled backwards is racecaR
Civic spelled backwards is civiC

Therefore, Civic is a racecar

 

[Greywolf74]

Kayak

'Reviver' spelled backwards is 'reviver'
'Kayak' spelled backwards is 'kayaK'

Therefore, @Tunedpipe can't drown.

My advice would be get something cheap and dependable. If you're anything like me, you'll be buying another car sooner than you think

okay.... i want a 3000GT Baaaad. I've looked more into it. looks like a fun car for sure. only major problem is also one of the great things about it. The complexity. Active aero, 4WD, 4WS, a nice V6, Very tune-able, and just frigging awesome. i found a decent looking one for 3500$....

someone please talk me out of this....

a rwd will drift.

 

[DavidB1126]

a rwd will drift.

Miata MX5 NA
Silvia
350z
Bmw M3 (90s)

Or if you want a much cheaper and scaled down one . Look at MST and Yokomo

The yokomo and miata are the same power.

Mitsubishi's are notoriously unreliable. A friend had a Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo. Same thing as a 3000GT VR4. It spent more time under a cover than it did on the road. I would reccomend a Honda Accord EX 2-door. Make sure it has the F22B1 (should say "VTEC" on the valve cover), and a 5spd. I'm partial to the 94-98.

what were his major problems? I'm looking at a SL. no turbos and just less power strain. I'll look up the Accord though. I'm sorta a Mitsu fanboy so the 3K GT calls to me.
