ive got a couple, mine are all old school kyosho, reason i still have them in running condition is i brought a shed load of spares from rip max direct just as the kits were finishing for good, also the outlaw rampage that some of you might still remember, i couldnt get any bits for that so if anyone has some spur and diff gears for it pm me !!

Yep............it's just too damned quick for me, and I don't mind admitting it. God only knows how those guys race them on such a small track, must have amazing eye to hand coordination.

i got a schumacher pro sumit, spent waaay ot much on it, then got a real car lol, and it got put aside

got it out a few weeks back and it was sooo bludy quick, use ot race it in maldon indoor drifting, it only went outside once lol!

also had a petrol car, was nippy, but use to spin in 2nd and often lost control...

I have a savage that I have had years with all the sxxxe that goes with them then bought a schumacher rascal 2 .To say that they are like night and day is an understatement. Saying that I have not used either for must be twelve months now. Should really get my ass in gear and get them out
