Is there no general thread for RC cars? I've been wanting an RC car for a while and I saw some Tamiya cars that looked cool at my hobby/toy shop.
I've never built an Rc car before but I like painting fantasy miniatures so I have an airbrush setup and lots of acrylic hobby paints from vallejo and citadel. Can anyone tell me what tools I would need to build them or what remote controls are compatible?
I would get one that's already built but I think if I built one myself it would help me understand the machine better if something broke or needed to be replaced. Also I would feel more connected to the car if I built and painted it myself. Should I just spend the extra cash and get a ready to run build?
pic rel was taken at the hobby store today.
Some cars I like are the grasshopper, hornet, frog, blitzer beetle, rising fighter and neo fighter. Something lightweight since I ride the train everywhere.
