anyone can recommend popular RC websites to sell RC cars? i have a brand new Kyosho 1/10 1st Ultima 2WD Buggy Kit KYO30625 that i'm looking to sell, thanks in advance!

Carousell is your best bet... but sure will kena low-ballers.

Can't say it's reasonably priced for most but the Kyosho Mini-Z is great for indoor RC fun if you are into 1/28 scale, comes in AWD, FWD or RWD chassis which caters to either grip or drift driving. Body shells are ready made with intricate detailing, not to mention it has a host of optional upgrade parts available.

Just started getting into Mini-Zs myself recently and it's addictively fun!

Just gotten a AWD Mini-z too!

Its pretty darn hard to drift as its too fast and slippery. Trying to source the rigid rear and one way front parts.. not sure where to get them cheaply

Nice! Mine's AWD as well, MA020 chassis with the silver Nismo R33 Skyline GTR shell.

Yeah, the drifting can be tough if one is new to RC, probably that's why the transmitter is set to training mode by default, limiting the motor speed. Once you're used to that and set to performance mode then it's a lot more faster and whole new level of fun!

Toykar located at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre is the only local distributor for Kyosho, location is way off from where I stay but every trip there is so worth it, it's literally Mini-Z haven!

That said. the prices there is definitely not the cheapest, so far I've bought aluminum wheel nuts, front springs, front one-way differential, rigid axle, a tool set and a R34 Skyline GTR auto scale body shell. All these cost me close to 300 bucks, but I did get some slight discounts from who I reckon is the boss there, this quite elderly uncle who looks kind and is very helpful in serving me, great customer service!

Online is your best friend if you want these parts on the cheap, I heard these are even cheaper in Japan so a trip to any Kyosho shops there would be so awesome!
