I have a Kyosho Baja Beetle and am very interested in more power. It's motor
is what I would consider barely adequate in it's stock form with the Kyosho
GS-11X.

I have purchased a 1ltr bottle of "Racing Venom" oil today to use in my
brand new 1:5 scale petrol car.
Now i know that there is a new fully synthetic oil available from the same
supplier too.

Which is a better touring car?  TC3 4wd RTR w/ Radio or the Losi xxx-s
sport. They both come with a 19t motor , ball bearing and radio. They cost
around the same price and the lhs supports both.  I have spent the past year
bashing around in the parking lot with my Tamiya TL01. ...

Does anyone know of a source for bearings for R/C cars? Where you can
buy in bulk and save some cash, over buying them individually from the
LHS.

Anyone got any practical experience with these new buggies? Care to share
your views?
I'm currently looking at a repair bill of over £50 for parts for my broken
CEN Fun Factor. Given the paucity of parts and suppliers for CENs in the UK,

Well i have finally decided on which car to buy to start this hobby with as
i have now retired from flying r/c helicopters after many enjoyable years of
fun.
I have taken the plunge & decided on a FG EVO Comp chassis with Honda body.

I was not in this hobby since 1989 and 1/10 off road buggy was my favourite at
that time.
These were the last buggies (both 2WD and 4WD) I owned during that moment.
