    Any one here into or WAS into Radio Contol Cars? Tamiiya, Kyosho, Associated? You might have old models/kits in your bodega, attic, basement, etc. I'm looking for old models in any condition. If you can dig them up, I'll buy them! Contact me, please, if you do.

    Thanks.

Lil's sells only Tamiya and Kyosho. there's ActionHobbies in Greenhills and d Fort which sells HPI, Hotbodies, Xrays. there's also Pitshop in Araneta Ave. which carry Yokomo, Associated, Losi and other stuffs.

    i learned from the shop in PETRON (tapat ng Gate 5) that to drift your RC you'll need to replace the rubber tires with PVC (ung same material used in PVC pipes). Some adapatation siguro is done with the regular rims to accomodate the PVC plastic.

    as far as i know, you don't have to alter the rims. you just have to choose the size of the pvc. dapat ka size siya ng rims for 1/10 scale cars.

    'Have Tamiya CRV, Hummer and F-150 Lightning. Bought them sa Lil's Hobby (Megamall) shop in '99 when I was assigned there sa 'Pinas as a consultant to a telecom firm..

    Bili ko lang noon - $200 for all three including 3 controllers. They're still in good working condition although I haven't played them for a while.

    Hay grabe itong hobby na ito.... i plunked down around 100k for this a couple of years back....

    HPI Savage ~30k
    Futaba Controller ~14k
    Servos (3 incl reverse) ~14k
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .
    .

    ang dami pa like 3 speed trannys, shock absorbers, reverse modules bodies fuels batteries chargers etc etc etc.

    Fun while it lasted, hirap kasi walang malapit na offroad track sa amin. and when JP was still open, it gets kinda boring. Maganda sana bashing sessions ko sa fort, kaya lang they got strict na rin....

    eventually sold my Savage and got my 20" mags. pero sobrang lugi ko sa depreciation hehe.
