No worries, they run on anything up to 20%, I generally run mine on 16% and I still use my first engine that I had 3 years ago and its actually one of the ones in the twin engine car so its going strong.

I purchase these from a supplier in Hong Kong, you can't buy them direct from the manufacturer. It's fair game, any hobby shop can get them at the same price as me but they choose to sell them at twice as much. No other brand of parts are compatible because each different brand is unique, there are alot of parts that can be changed like air filters, wheels, engines, but most other parts are unique. I have all upgrades available and never have a shortage of parts so I am offering the backup service as well as the car. I also now offer the car with upgrades fitted which will make the car more reliable, other sellers are happy to sell you the standard car which has some issues straight from the box. If you are genuinly interested then feel free to email or PM me.

P.S i am not having a go at you at all and i have seen the videos of the cars they fly but am just enquiring cause i like to know how long the parts will be avilable like will u stop getting them any time soon? also please can i have a link to where it says exactly what u have done different to these cars than any other supplier?

Sorry I don't stock any upgrade filters, I'm also out of stock on the onroad car tyres at the moment, the best option would be to visit F1 Toys on Keilor Rd.

hey man are you still selling these things? can you get any nitro rc boats?
0 likes
Yep I am still selling them, I don't have any nitro boats sorry, its something that I would love to get into but it might be a while before I can get any. At the moment I am working on modifying these cars for drifting, so far the buggy has worked a treat and the onroad car also does it with ease, here is a demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRm22sd0F9s
