Downsizing

My neighbor has introduced me into the world of RC Cars and we were able to make this bad boy for $200.00.

Meet Mini3, a HPI Sprint 2 (original shell was a Nissan 350Z) 1/10 scale we bought off of craigslist and gave it a new life with a new M3 GT2 body and a fresh set of paint. (Keeping the lip on it for now as protection ). We were even able to find a very very similar style 359 ZCP look for the car.

Truly this will be a lot of fun, and if I crash this one drifting, it won't hurt the wallet as much

haha yea, I'm going to keep it "stock" and just have fun with it. I was looking at some youtube videos the upgrades people do to their RC cars are on the same level of what some of us enthusiast do to our Bimmers..

I think when you buy the car, it comes with a set, then you can buy different wheel/tire set combo from the company as add-ons. It's almost like buying a real car.
