Default tamiya r/c cars....escort cosworths

just got a focus rs wrc for crimbo off my other half, finished building it, painted, stickered up and test driven

I now want an escort cosworth shell or full kit, does anybody have one for sale?

also, can you upgrade the battery pack to a one that lasts longer??

the batts can be upgraded to 3600ni-mh packs for extra punch and life ..but u need a mite need a different charger to charge ni-mh ..the highest you can go on ni-cd is 2400mah but these will still be a hell ov a lot better than the ones u have motors r also upgreadable if ya decide u want owt or just prices on stuff let us know bay be able to do you deal

Frogford - i would recommend going for petrol, because after a while when you start messing with battery ones it gets boring due to battery life length etc.

I'm going t get a battery one next - just finding some free cash

if an item goes unpaid for and you were one of top bidders or if person has more than one he can offer second chances to people who lost out.
