anyone else have a mini 4wd car? They are small cars that you build yourself, and you can customize the parts to make them go faster. I have two, but I can't find a race track! anyone know where to buy them? (i saw them on ebay, and they're expensive!)
 if you don't want to contribute to the discussion, don't post. |

I love playing mini 4wd when i was small
but when i grew up, i found that they are childish and threw them away I never buy myself a race track, coz it's too expensive so I usually go to toy shops to play coz they provide free tracks for kids to play.... |

oh! the janitor @ my church has one of those...
instead of buying your own, like lcsblogfool mentioned, you can go to places where they hold tracks. "Hobbytown USA" centers have indoor tracks, some of em even hold cash prize tournies. |

Mine was so buff, but then my engine died and I didnt want to spend another $40 on an engine, so I gave up and started to work on my real car. HAR HAR o.o

The engine I bought was $6 and i think it goes at around 4800 rpm. But the best engine I have was from my uncle, which is 6800 rpm hehehehe. |

I was crazy about 4wds when I was little. Adding little wheels here and there, customizing it, was pretty fun
 I think all I have now is my phantom blade. It's awesome though.

I have a Tamiya car and one Auldey car. QUOTE Well actually if you think that Tamiya's engine are slow why not try to remake them?

But if your engine is too fast, it will fly off the track. Actually, mini 4wd were around since the 1980's , so yeah, it probably is old news. But still, I think they are pretty cool. I'm going to take pictures of my cars! |
