R/C hobbyworld latest cat.

[Muckinhell]

Anyone seen in the latest R/C hobby world cat the R/c hummer wich has obvioulsy 4 largish wheels but also the changable 4 caterpillar tracks for each hub and only $130. comes with battery and charger too.

Also the 1/8th scale landcruiser 40 series r.c 4x4 for the same dollars as above. looks absolutly tops little r/c monsters.:truck:

Got a link?

[Muckinhell]

No sorry no link its a local catalogue. R/c hobbyworld is apart of our local toyworld so maybe all toyworlds have something similar.

I saw it.....right after I pulled it out of my wifes cold lifeless hands......wasnt going to give it to me without a fight......very cools for both the hummer and 40

[Muckinhell]

the hummer and the 40 seem to be the same running gear from the photos so if you bought both i reckon you could put the tracks on the 40 as well. now that would be tough....even tougher than my f350 with diff locks hahahaha.

Be careful if its the same one as my Son bought, he got it from "toyworld" and he is now on the second one (FJ 40) and they only last a couple of weeks, paid $130 odd dollars, really looks the part, but even just driving it on the floor the motor dont go the distance.
Toyworld gladly replaced the first one no questions, I wonder what they will say about another one.
Reminds me of the large R/C formula one I bought, top looking, goes like stink but hit a tiny ridge with the front wheels and the suspension breaks and cannot be repaired.

So guys, be careful.

There Toys, Not hobby Spec so if you break it, its a throw away.

These Days $130 can get you a Hobby Spec offroader thats rebuildable.

The HBX comes with all you need to get going, but bear in mind, they really do need to have the Battery and the Charger upgraded to something alot better..

cheers thanks. It s just for a bit of a toy in the backyard to amuse myself, annoy my wife and to chase my son around.

The Bonzer will definately do that as long as your not expecting 200kph speeds.. I mean they are quick.. but not lightning fast...

and I have recently made mine an Amphibian...
YouTube - Amphibious Bonzer (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=E6g4P13_WLA)

All I did was upgrade the ESC to a Waterproof one, Changed the Body to a HPI Wheely King Truck and Shove the Reciever into a Glove and sealed it up..
