 Also how much did yout TC4 cost with or without electronics? Where did you get it?

Hi,

Have a GS Racing Truggy. Great product.

Its called the XUT.

Having great fun with it.

Bought it in Bangalore from www.rcdhamaka.com

http://www.rcdhamaka.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=82_84&products_id=229

It also came with a glow booster & fuel bottle totally free.

Also bought a sanwa 2.4ghz buggy radio from the them with 18 model memory and the radio is just great.

Planning to buy one GS Racing buggy to add to my collection.

Would recommend it to anyone

These guys at rcdhamaka are very helpfull and carry alot of spares for the gs racing cars.

Hi Divyam,

It cost me around $270 with the electronics. Bought it from a local hobby shop in Texas(US)

@Gurpinder,

Do you know any places in Bangalore to buy rc car stuff other than Modelart?

@RCKatty,

Which city do you live in? If Bangalore, where in Bangalore do you go off-roading?

@divyam,

You can race in Pit stop in bangalore.
they also have regular races.
It is in JP Nagar

Do they race every sunday?
What categories are there?

There will be people practicing every weekend.
I think they race every alternative weekends.
they have buggy, truggy and monster truck class.

The races mostly happen every alternate weekend at a place called Pitstop racing. There are a lot of distributors for rc these days man, Pitstop itself has some models of TT, Kyosho, HPI and some local chinese brands. If not, they can source it for you. And ofcourse, Modelart is the authorised dealer for TT. This apart, there is RCDhamaka, Myhobby store etc.

Gone are the days where one had to mix his own fuel, fabricate parts etc. Everything available off the shelf.

So, when is the next race?

you can call suresh on 9448270820 and check with him...

Hi,
  am from bangalore & planning to buy a 3 or 3.5 cc nitro buggy..
which brand is the best.. any suggestions?

There is nothing like best brand. You get what you pay for. Suggestions based on your need. Please list them down and I can help.

i need this for a offroad competetion. my budget is around 20k. which among these is better choice?

TT ST,
TT EB4-S2,
Kyosho DST.

Pls also suggest some other good cars...

TT ST-1 is the best out of the mentioned ones. PERIOD. But it will above 20K. Next best choice is EB4 because its 1/8 compared to DST which is 1/10.

But I would say DST, because it will be easy for you to build. Very simple construction and design. I recently helped a student buy a used DST for college competitions.

GS racing SUT monster truck will also be easy to build because of the design. Spares are also available. You will get in that budget. PM me if interested.

I live in bangalore (indiranagar). got hooked to rc cars after I saw some vids on youtube a few days ago. I've always loved drifting and have since gone around looking for best drift rc cars on web. Still a newbie learning the basic things to look for in an rc car.

Got to this site searching for rc shops in bangalore. did find some, but sadly yet to find drift spec cars.  might buy from north20 later.

btw,  just subcribed to 'xtreme rc cars' mag through zinio. Could be another useful source of info besides the forums.

Interested in being to races (as a spectator for now). Will be great if this thread is updated with details of when such races happen.

You can head out to Pitstop RC track in JP Nagar near brigade millennium apartments on Sat/Sun to catch offroad rc action.

You can pick up a drift car from Modelart for about 15k... I was also into drifting but nothing was available that time for drifting...

I did hear about pitstop rc track..should check that out as soon as I can .


thats cool. I've looked around the web for drift cars and they are priced at around $200 (+80 shipping to india, + customs tax,  + essential equipments ). or 20north has it at 10k. its easier for me to buy in $s or GBP since my money is in a UK account. And, I do have a few models shortlisted.
Anyway, will visit modelart sometime this week and see what they've got.

Thanks

Hello ! This is Binu, I have a Tamiya TT-01 road car. Was wondering where in Bangalore can I run the car with fellow enthusiast. I am told that Pit-stop has a dirt track so can't race this road one there

Hey Guys,

Rocky from KRPura, been bitten by the Drift bug for quite sometime but chose to nurse only now. I am new to RC and would be getting the HPI Sprint2, sometime this month.

Would love to meet fellow drifters and learn.

Cheers.
