Cool man.I like the Savage SS for racing.If I had that Merc, it'd be to nice to take out and be a shelf piece.



I used to be into RC.I still have my nitro  race buggy.It's an old Kyosho Rampage GP10.I never have ran it much.

its not a real merc, just a $70 Nikko toy (purchased strictly for the body). Its no shelf queen...I'm bashing the hell out of it.

Since everyone's throwing up their RC pics...

My HPI Nitro RS4-2 touring car.  Also have a Porsche 911 GT3 and STI WRC bodies for it.  I haven't touched it in a couple years, but it was fun before I got into motorcycles

Yep.I think the scales speed is around 40mph.I really can't remember.It takes curves well and stays level when it's launched off a jump.The thing I really enjoyed was building it.My mother bought me that car as a kit for xmas of 1990.Nitro cars were really rare in my area back then.Buggies are still rare,but 4x4's and road cars are every where.

nice. got yourself a 1:1 of it as well!

Post by: manofthefield on December 21, 2007, 10:34:12 AM
It was my dad's, unfortunately he doesn't have it anymore.   Since he didn't do trackdays or drive like an idiot on public roads, he felt it was far more car than he needed, even as just a toy. :cookoo: 

I definately miss it; you can't beat the roar of a well tuned intake positioned inches behind your head :icon_mrgreen:

Post by: pantablo on December 21, 2007, 03:57:57 PM
those are still awesome cars...I'd love to get my hands on one. They were phenomenal cars for their time and still quite good looking.

Too bad he doesnt still have it, really...

There was an exotic/antique dealer by where I used to live that had one.  Only wanted like 46k for it :dunno_white: Gorgeous car but it was always overshadowed by the mint classic Porsche's and Vette's.
Title: Re: new distraction, er hobby...
Post by: pantablo on December 21, 2007, 04:20:07 PM
its downfall was it was an Acura priced like the exotics. Then it was unheard of. Now would be a different story.

My dad's was valued in the low $30's for a 91 with low miles in perfect condition, and that was a few years ago.

The only things you get with a newer one are different wheels, a slightly larger engine, power steering, and a targa option
