@rangerwalker84 Hi, it's a studiomix by drum n bass producer Netsky. You can find a link to it on his official Myspace page or download it directly by following this link (replace the # symbols with full stops): dnbshare#com/download/NETSKY-S­TUDIOMIXAUG09#mp3#html

I love my 325i. Only mod is a Signature Motoring performance intake kit. They run around $150 and add around 9hp in the six-cylinder E30s and a bit less in the

318. That's the best value per HP gain... A good value for the extra oomph. General HP increases are shown:

E30 series: 6.0-13.4hp gain

E36 series: 5.5-12hp gain

E46 series: 6.0-13.9hp gain

E92 series: 8.5+ hp gain

Z3/Z4 (all): 5.5-13.9hp gain

DUMM

[w8nigga]

Can you reverse with it? :D

[thefurrycritter]

@w8nigga No, it's just forward and brake. That's why it is cheaper though and I don't really need reverse.

[w8nigga]

Nice i have a Ford escort WRC 1998 TL-01 ;D

[w8nigga]

Nice :D wich chassis is the Ford focus? :D

[thefurrycritter]

@w8nigga It's a TL-01 - if you want to see any pics of it or the other cars, visit my Tamiyaclub profile: tinyurl (remove this bit!).com/5rfwwl2

[w8nigga]

Which cars do you have? :D

[thefurrycritter]

@w8nigga At the moment, I personally have a Tamiya Stadium Raider, Tamiya Nissan Fairlady Z, Tamiya Lunchbox, Tamiya BMW M3 (E30), Tamiya Ford Focus RS WRC 02 and a HPI E-Firestorm Flux. The Firestorm in this video is my cousin's.

[w8nigga]

I have got my Bmw now :D and i have to tell it is quick as original, but i have ordered the same engine as you and the same speedcontroller too :D Funny car :)

[thefurrycritter]

@w8nigga That's great news mate! Make sure you post a video of it (or video response of course). Can't wait to see it! :)

[cosmin65397]

what gearing do u use in bmw? thanks

[thefurrycritter]

@cosmin65397 All the gearing is stock mate :)

[w8nigga]

i am 14 :)



[w8nigga]

how old are you? :)

[thefurrycritter]

@w8nigga 18 U?

[w8nigga]

Yes how did you knew ? :)

[thefurrycritter]

@w8nigga It says on your profile! ;)

[w8nigga]

damn :D were are you from anyways?

[thefurrycritter]

@w8nigga From the UK mate. Take it you're from Norway?

[w8nigga]

can i use my: TEU-104BK ESC? :D

[thefurrycritter]

@w8nigga no, I'm afraid not mate. It will just blow it. You'll need something a bit tougher

[w8nigga]

is that engine brushless? :D

[thefurrycritter]

@w8nigga No, it's a brushed 'Ansmann Racing Clash 15T Motor'

[w8nigga]

Nice man how much does a 15t engine cost? :D

[thefurrycritter]

@w8nigga My motor was really cheap in the BMW. It's a 'Ansmann Racing Clash 15T Motor' which only cost me £7. Just google it. Remember though that to use a more powerful motor, you will need a better speed controller. One that can tolerate lower than 15t. I have got a 'Modelsport UK Sniper FW-10' which cost just under £25. I would recommend ball bearings too for the Tamiya TT-01 as a higher performance motor will wear the standard plastic ones down very quickly. Sets are about £10 :)

[w8nigga]

Have you changed your engine or do you have a Lipo battery? :) awesome car i love it i havejust bought me one i am very exited :)

[thefurrycritter]

@w8nigga Excellent news! We didn't have lipos in either the firestorm or bmw at the time - just normal 7.2v Ni-Mh batteries (3500mah). The E-firestorm comes with a 15t motor as standard (which is way above average) and the BMW has an upgraded motor, which is now also 15t. It also has a fully ball-raced setup which can improve speed and acceleration. We've actually just bought some new E-Firestorm Flux cars (with brushless and lipos) which are superb. Videos will be up soon for those. :)

[FreaksModellbau]

hello

what motor do you have in your tamiya tt-01 e30???

greets FreaksModellbau

[thefurrycritter]

@FreaksModellbau Thanks for commenting. It is a really cheap 15t motor - one of these: modelsport(dot)co(dot)uk/?prod­uct_id=33117

It's hooked up to an Mtroniks 10T Forward Esc with a full ball bearing set up which can make it a little faster too. :)

[sebastianthe4th]

Great video! could you tell me where you got the BMW E30? i am looking around and thinking of building one,

[thefurrycritter]

@sebastianthe4th Hi mate! Thanks for commenting. I got mine from Time Tunnel Models (UK) about two years ago. Somehow they managed to get some in as they had stopped being produced nearly 5 yrs ago I think. However, there is a new drift spec on sale now which is exactly the same, but with different tyres and suspension etc, but I'm sure it can be changed to a normal spec. Here it is: bit(dot)ly/eqFebL and it's where I got mine from. Great service. You need radio gear too :)

[TheGNARtard]

im thinking about buying a firestorm. are they a good rc car? whats the top speed on it?

[thefurrycritter]

@TheGNARtard It's a very good car. You get a 15t motor in the car (which is what is on the video and the battery was a little down when we recording it). As with most electrics, you can upgrade the motor to brushless, which offers extreme power. Just watch this to see what the car is capable of achieving: youtube(dotcom)/watch?v=oB3s2A­khQLo

Also, because it is a 1/8 scale, it is bigger than most RC cars. This means bigger wheels, more speed.

HPI as a brand are very good + very reliable

[TheGNARtard]

@thefurrycritter tyvm =) you helped a lot with my hunt for an rc car =)

[thefurrycritter]

@TheGNARtard No problem mate...glad I helped. Please sub! :D
