can't wait for hot wheels to make nitros!

I wonder how many of these will get wrecked by people not following the handbook...

25mph top speed yay....man i want some of that wildcat fuel

what a joke, you by these at walmart LMAO... If you want a laugh watch the videos on start up and break in. They recommend a 2 tank break in.

 

[MadKawi650]

I'm wondering who makes the engine, What size and Is is any good ?

for under $200 its sounds cheap...

Also interested in the "Wildcat" fuel.. Whats the Nitro and oil %.

Canadian Tire sells these things so the Fuel would be real easy for me to pick up anytime. Wouldn't have to wait for the LHS to be open.

2 years ago Hasbro announced the release of their XRC line of nitros.

They even eventually came out with a MT that I checked out at Hobbytown.

It was extremely cheap and fragile.

I guess they are going to have another go at it.

The way I break my tmaxx all the time I'd destroy one of these things in one day!!

I used to run Wildcat in my RS4. From what I can tell its the same stuff.

What I ran....http://www.ehobbies.com/cat174.html

What they run...http://yahoo.shoptoit.ca/shop/product--catId_1000074__locale_en__productId_4308582.html

They stuff I used was 20% nitro and 14% oil. Was a good fuel but I felt like trying something different. I think I might go back next time I buy a gallon. Wildcat makes a heli mix too.

I was gonna say, those were looking a little familiar!

You'd give it that long? I'd give it 10 mins in my hands

Basically, we all know they suck, because they are cheap and made by a company that has little skill in Nitro and little interest in product longevity.

I'd like to see someone put Wildcat fuel in one *just* to see how badly the engine melts/explodes/implodes/falls in half.

No air filter oil!?!

 

[charliejp]

I wonder if those are the same thick plastic bodies as on all cheap RCs. Would'nt ever break that?????????LOL

 

[alpinehyperlite]

i like that ricochet thing. looks badass. lol

 

[Racer 1966]

I'm sure the r/c is a p.o.s., but Wildcat fuel is good stuff. I ran 4 gal of their 16% through my Savage and loved it. Wish I could get more locally.

i think you guys are looking at this all the wrong way. albeit the cars may be POS's, it definitely makes it easier to get into nitro.

 

[BMILLER]

yep ur right fasteddie start with a hasbro next thing u no they buyin a losi 8ight

and i mean come on has everyone forgot hasbro makes NERF guns geez we all no they own

who else would make a foam sniper rifle i mean come on now

I took a good look at one yesterday. They are made of that hard cheap plastic.
The package had it so strapped in I couldn't check suspension movement, but it looks limited. The tires are not totally hard, but they are made of some sort of super Slide material. A good buggy wouldn't even be able to take off with out melting them. It has the strangest fuel top I've seen. Looks easy but leaky. The Exhaust is oval where it comes out of the engine. it is an inch across, right at the head. The carb has a rolling brass piece and not a slider. It rolls to expose a hole smaller than the Carb barrel.

The glow plug looks top notch . haha

It comes with lots of stuff, and probably isnt a bad way to get into nitro... Definately throw away once its worn out.

 

[Rolex]

HASBRO, huh?
I guess you can upgrade your suspension with a slinky.
Sing it with me now......"It's fun for a girl or a boy!"

A Slinky will always bring a smile to my face.
