View Full Version : R/C Imprezas
Mike C 04-30-2001, 05:54 PM I've always wanted an Impreza Remote Control car, but I can never seem to find one. Well, that's not true, I see a whole bunch of full-on race models that cost hundereds or dollars, but I don't feel like spending that much money. I'd rather put it towards a exhaust.
Anyway my point is this: Does anyone know where i could get my hands on a model impreza R/C car? My price range is at around $100, so all I need is something simple.
Thanks,
-Mike-

thebusiness999 04-30-2001, 06:09 PM For about $150, you can get a Kyosho Mini-Z racer...one of the body styles is that of an Impreza. They're only about 6 inches long and they supposedly are fairly quick and a lot of fun. The main problem is that you can't drive them outside unless it's a really smooth surface, and of course no AWD...
I'm looking to buy one of these myself, once I have some money to blow.
HpiRally 04-30-2001, 06:13 PM I agree with Brat if you want to buy one buy Hpi. I have one with a whole bunch of stuff.
I have Off road set up with a 15Turn motor and then an on road set up with a new ESC and a 7 turn Trinity motor. The things hauls and are great kits. Highly recommened!

Spend the money and be happy. i will never buy any other RC street/rally car thats NOT made by them. They are by far the best kits on the market. I own 4 HPI kits. only non hpi kit i have is my T-Maxx
check them out @ www.hpiracing.com (http://www.hpiracing.com)
and buy them from www.pshobbies.com (http://www.pshobbies.com)

bratmantlz 04-30-2001, 07:03 PM and "most" hobby shops have a bunch of options you can just bolt on.http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

Mike C 04-30-2001, 09:08 PM Thanks for the replies, but the cars you all suggested are a bit too pricy, because i don't have any r/c equipment on hand, so I'm looking for one with a radio included.
Anyway with that said, thoses are some sweet cars, and i might consider bumping up my price range for one of thoses babies if need be.

blaster88 04-30-2001, 09:17 PM Some sniper picked it off from me on ebay. Poop.
KillerTHC 04-30-2001, 10:44 PM kyosho mini-z racers are hella tite. they are like 6 inches long and come with quality stuff. no to mention they are a blast to drive aroun indoors and out!
Go check out the Mini-Z racers from Kyosho:
http://www.kyosho.com/cars/kyod37x1.html
The Mini-Z comes with everything you need to run them for about $150 (radio included!). Except for a some AA batteries, you don't need to buy anything more. Unless you decide you just got to have the latest hop-up parts for it http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif
The Mini-Z's seem like a good, fun, affordable alternative to 1/10th RC's.
Electric 1/10th RC cars are expensive to run and are a time consuming hobby. A gas RC requires even more dedication of time and money.
I've spend a lot of money when I had the RC bug a few years ago. Now they're sitting around collecting dust on my shelves http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/frown.gif

Mike C & those interested - these little imprezas are alot of fun to have around. they are the perfect alternative for those who don't want to spend hundreds. i bought one for myself and must say, it looks good as a display piece and helps kill time especially when waiting for my girl at the mall. they go pretty fast too. it all depends on how much u want to spend or how serious you are into R/C cars. PM me for additional info.
bratmantlz 05-01-2001, 07:10 AM do they make those lil things in blue? or black?
blaster88 05-01-2001, 07:10 AM RS25 - I pm'ed you - pm me back http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif
latinskllz 05-02-2001, 02:26 PM well,
you might want to check tamiya america for some assitance. I am a "hard core racer" when it involves r/c car i have a tc3 fatory team edition and i bought the wrc body and painted it white like my bros 00 aspen white rs so when i am not with him racing or screwing around i can have fun and win races with my own little wrc impreza
