WTS - Kyosho 1/10 GP Touring Car

I am letting go my precious 1/10 Nitro Touring Car from Kyosho. Its a Gas Powered 4WD which is very suitable for beginners who wants to feel the Nitro power.
This car was bought last December 2008 as a Christmas gift. Selling it now because i want to upgrade to a Pro Nitro Chassis. I have only ran it 4 times to break in the engine process. Now its nicely tuned. The car is almost new. Only the usual scratches in the bottom chassis.

Its ready to run. Just buy from me, go home and start touring.
Includes:
* Chassis.
* Body Shell.
* Prefex Radio with receiver.
* Instruction Manuals are included.
* Tools and spares which came with the car.
* 8 Alkaline Batteries - i will give for the Prefex Radio.

What you see, is what you get. Photos speak a lot for itself. Almost new.

Sale is done on a first come first serve basis. Letting it go at $350 Nett (Slightly Negotiable)

Please PM me or sms at 81577644. Deal at Harbourfront Centre or my place in the West.

Hold on.......I will throw you all the below items for Free:
* Used O'Donnell Racing Fuel (About 25% still have).
* Brand new filter (Still new in packet).
* Foam wheels with tires (I have used it only once).
* Prolux Started Kit which includes, Glo starter 1800mAh W/230V Charger, Fuel Filler Bottle 250cc and 4-Way Wrench. Toykar at Bukit Timah is selling this starter kit for $55.90.

I saw the cars in the website you gave. Yes, the pricing is cheap but I still don't think it'll be worth it to buy. Stick with brands like Tamiya,l HPI, Associated, LOSI, etc. U pay a price for quality. Wht do you intend to play? Drifting or Touring? I can give you a few places that offers reasonable prices.

pricing is cheap, but you need to think of spare parts availability. the end product of speed is very often damage. You want to buy from a brand which offers you replacement parts availability.

Budget is around $200. looking at electrical 1: 10 scale. Dun think i can afford established brands like Tamiya. Preferably drifting cars.

Hi AsusExpoxy, saw ur advice and decided to visit their showroom last friday. they have available spare parts on display. Replacement parts cost from less than $10 to $20 except for servos and regulators that costs slightly more (not sure what it is for).

to be honest, for starters like me, i dun mind cheaper , less-established brands to get me started into this hobby and gain more experience. All the replacment parts from bangs and crashes would probably cost a lot less from an inexperienced noob like me. I might go into established brands for better thrill once i am pretty sure of my skills.

In the late 1940s wholesale FRED PERRY Clothing was approached by Tibby Wegner, an Austrian footballer who had invented an anti-perspirant device worn around the wrist. wholesale FRED PERRY Clothing made a few changes and invented the sweatband. Wegner's next idea was to produce a sports shirt which was to be made from white knitted cotton pique with short sleeves and buttons down the front.

+1 bloody spammer

You meant the Tamiya one or the upcoming HPI one?

I got the Tamiya one and its abit narrow...Doesn't really seem to scale...
The HPI one is more to scale but slightly less detailed looking...

A pic of my GTR before I put any other decals...

does anyone here who does his own paintjob on the shell know how to paint the fine lines between gaps like doors and bodykits? the shell has that line, but i was wondering how u get the black paint on those areas.

also, anybody has tips on how to paint a cf effect on the car?

Thanks in advance!

 

[NovaCat_JT7]

You can get those fine detailing markers and do it on the outside after you finish the paintjob...
