Real Drive Cars

[TheB1GDude]

So my real drive cars arrived today!





As you can see I got the Red Evo and STI Impreza.

I really don't plan on doing much with them other than taking the shells off and desoldering the lights, so I figured I would post a few pictures of them and see if anyone was interested in taking the chassis off my hands?? I know a few people are planning projects around these so maybe you need spares??

If anyone is interested PM - if no one is then you might force me to compete with XMODification who I know is planning something pretty cool!

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

Are they as fast as xmods?
How much were they?

x2! how much wehre they, i want that suby!!! are they pretty quick? good quality? give me some details on that suby lol

[TheB1GDude]

They only just arrived so I haven't even put batteries into them!

I've taken the red evo shell off and am in the process of taking it apart to see what i can change!

I'll put the subi on the dyno tomorrow but what I hear is they are no where near as fast as an XMOD.

i just browsed ebay super quick, didnt see one with the same looking box or brand as those, even they they were listed as realdrive. but were they about 10-30 bucks? still look pretty **** good. sell me that suby! lol

[TheB1GDude]

Yeah sorry forgot to say! It cost me $20 including shipping for each one, there was quite a few of them listed but I think everyone bought them... just keep an eye out and search eBay for 1:28 as thats the easiest way to find them.

[mustanglover]

yea it did that about a month ago(look up 1/28) and i found a cool looking mini-z thing with a nice transmitter and all for 40$.

edit:
it was this i might buy one.
is this what a iwaver looks like??

LOL - you sure you're up for a challenge amigo?

(just kidding buddy )

I'm sure someone will take the chassis off your hands - there's always someone willing to do some crazy experiment and bring out soemthing interesting -

wtf...

ok thats the suby, it looks 100% identical to my xmod body, lights, logos everything. nothing different at all. is it the exact same body or what?

Dude if I had your skill I would be the Chuck Norris of XMODs! Unfortunately I only have my skills.... but that been said I've already starting breaking the realdrive down! I think I'll put an S1 in, in the morning hopefully that won't fry the stock electronics, should also be able to put s2 cogs into the motor bay!

I'm going to take the lights off as I want them for a custom CLL kit I want to put together.

Then I'm going to see if I can find some more out about the board and components, what I really want to know is can I put liths on it without frying the board, if I can then great I'll add liths otherwise I'll scrap it because its going to cost to much to do anything with it!

Also going to take the steering servo apart to see what that handles!

Oh and take off the front wheels and if they don't have a D-Shaft put the gen1 front wheels pegs in so I can use different wheels, not sure about the back yet!

Yeah thats one of them! The body is just a copy, thats basically the whole point of these things! You can unscrew all the pieces and put for example the STI body kit on it.

[kungpow420]

mustanglover that link you posted looked exactly like a firelap they sell those at toyeast.com I was thinking about getting one I read they have better fets than a mini-z.

Aren't they AA instead of AAA batteries? 1000mAh AA batteries, that seems fairly low to me. I know my Energizers are 2150mAh..

[Stampedekid]

Looks sort of like an Iwaver, the one mustanglover posted. I like the color of the Lancer.

[firebird999]

look! i found the realdrive zip zap knock offs too!

i wonder if they make pro pulse...
