there not real

there purely cosmetic.

bit like those brakes.

but they do have discs and pads on 1/5th scale

 

i did wonder myself because there doesn't seem to be anything driving the turbos.

 

 

the twin turbo skyline one is seriously

 

looks cool, even if its not real

 

let down

 

Those damn 1/8th race cars wiv 2 gears are fast enough lol

I got a 1/8th turbo burns buggy very old skool

Thats a lot of wrk just for show but fair play

 

looks like it coulb be belt driven looking a one pic, they do a work supercharger kit for R/C cars. looks good but you wouldn't need an intercooler like that as it looks to have no air flow!!!

 

Really looks like it would be fun!!

 

Reads to me like the geezer who posted claimed hed seen this car n they took the pics...

Bollocks.

Ive seen these exact same pics about a bloody year ago.

Not turbod, but could be a very very basic belt driven supercharger looking at the pics.

Id be totally shocked if it did anything performance wise tho.

 

its neither steve.

purely cosmetic.

same as the breaks.

the headlights will work, as you can do them easily.

 

I got a 1/8th scale buggy and mine has disk brakes and it skids to a stop twi brakes front and back its all run off the prop shafts tho

 

superchargers on rc cars have being proven not to work, something about the intake and exhaust port being open at the same time meaning all the extra fuel being thrown in just goes right through, as for turbochargers on rc cars i have never seen it done but probably dont work anyway and also that guy who claims to have a go with it is bullshitting i have also seen those pics well over a year ago and it is a car from america

 

easiest way to make power is up the nitro percentage anyway and after crewing top fuel for 8 years I know how to measure nitro content! oh and have the equipment! my Savage runs 20% but it could safely be tuned to 25% and that would see a good increase in power.
