Default 350Z R/C Car

Santa's bringing my son this R/C 350Z. I'll probably try it out too.

2 funny, why are you buying your son something that is for you? I think its hilarious.

Reminds me of when I bought my wife a custom made car cover for her Maxima and she just gave me that look. (Married folks know what I am talking about), lol.

Nice car BTW, I am getting one of those, but in PPW.

Cheapest I've found. I've seen it from $149 - $239. I checked ebay too. I thought it was a pretty good deal. The $208 includes ground shipping, the car, glue for the tires, battery & charger. I need to pick up 8 AA batteries too.

go for the Nitro version from HPI (339 with radio). MUCH faster and you dont have to deal with batteries.

How about a direct link, I can't find that car you're talking about?

Check the opening post. Mc350Z I still think the battery & charger are not included with the car & radio but I could be wrong.

mc350z,

You need to glue the tyres inplace because its quite easy to roll them off the rims or get the tyre spinning on the rim when applying full throttle.

If your going to mod it with a stronger motor it gets even worse - quite easy to get your car to sit there spinning the rims whilst the tyres dont move !!

Dude thats an awesome pic! I want to get a Nitro car and will most likely get a z (on raod) for the obvious reasons .
Do you actually run that Nitro car ? Is it the HPI ?
Also want an offroad because there are no tracks around here.

As Cartman would say...Sweeet! How much time do you have in that body, s9am_me? They come completely unpainted, right?

For you cheap bastages out there, Radio Shack has a 350Z ZipZap. Well worth the measly $20.
