Got hold of a small crown wheel not designed for it, and a big pinion (ran out of adjustment to keep the pinoin in contact). Was geared to do about 70km/h.

Rolled it many times. And did a Mark Webber (Merc Benz LeMans car) trick a couple of times too, thanks to clipping a rock and the flat bottom doing the rest.

I have a remote control car, it is a quarter scale classic mini with a 25cc two stroke engine.
With the weight of the car and the power you can do serious drifting. I have two body shells one for show(a replica of my car) and one for fun.

If you are lucky you will stumble on the GP R/C Car I found a while back but never ordered from the US.

Horizon Hobby: 1/14 RTR Mini Cooper JCW Edition: Carisma R/C Cars (CIS96868)

Link to Horizon Hobbies, currently out of stock, has been for several weeks. Seem to get them in batches.

They are the main distributor for them so if they havent got them, other places dont.

I was lucky I got mine when I did. Went out of stock the following week. Send them an email.

It comes with a 110volt mains charger which is useless in UK, heard someone else bought a UK carisma rc car off ebay for the charger. I just cut the connectors off, and put some of my own on then used my adjustable race charger to charger the battery pack.

Cant no, I already owe him for mine as he cant work paypal. So working out how to pay him currently.

Sorry, if I work that out i'll ask him. Problem is he's a very laidback guy and he ordered it and didnt send it to me for 2 months.
