As you know several of us have been collecting model FC cars.

I've compiled a picture of what's out there below.

Right now there's 4 model kits (build it yourself) on ebay. There's also 3 different eletrical RC cars that have EXCELLENT quality slightly below "diecast" quality.

Here's a supplier of the MINIZ RC cars:

Cheap shells - great for display:

Actual RC car kit - eletrical motor, gears, etc..

THE ULTIMATE is the real working mini ROTARY ENGINE gas powered RC cars, but I haven't found a new supplier yet. I want one BAD though.

There's also a paper Turbo II you can download & assemble yourself

here's the mini z pic. They come in red, silver, and InitialD white.



And here's 3/4 of what's out there right now, but I haven't found a supplier of these though

 

dam your scary !
got to much time in your hands

 

but it's fun

 

That is pretty cool man!! I can't wait to get my Initial D White Shining Star FC model to get in from Japan!

 

The best is still the 1/10 scale gas or electric RC. Can't beat a 17inch FC model that will go 50mph. You can even get the rotary engine for it.

 

Holy crap that RE radio controlled car is cool!! I'd love to hear the sound of the engine...

 

rxhevin,

Who sells those anyway? That's the one I want

 

OK danny from http://mini-zone.dinball.com emailed me these pictures. I'm not sure if they're the rotary engine though (waiting on his reply).

 

that last pic is not a rotary eng ...it looks like a regular two strocker.
the magazine with the rotary r/c is a guy that built it himself,no company makes it ,its a o.s rotary eng fitted onto a r/c car
sorry guys stop drolling

 

so what's an o.s rotary engine then?

 

that o.s. is def. not a rotary. ive been building and flying r/c airplanes and cars for about 10 years. ive never seen a rotary. either this guy built it himself or its only available over there.

can anyone read japanese?

 

So do they actually have a rotary engine R/C car? Or is that custom? I have a nitro car with a little two stroke engine like what vaughnc posted, and its cool as ****. Revs to about 30,000 rpm and sounds like it is going to explode at full throttle.

Thats the O.S rotary engine specifically made for R/C airplanes. You can purchase them on a any hobby store that sells OS engines. He had to modify the chassis of the car among other things.

 

someone buy me one...ill be your best friend

 

Great post! One can never find too many FC models.

Dammit...now I want all of those!! I shall began scoping out ebay.

 

there is a wankel o.s rotary eng !!!!!
i dont care how long youve been flying on fumes!
go to towerhobbies.com or o.s site and type wankel eng .......and next time research before talking brother!

 

theres a guy that built a t-maxx truck with one of those eng in the oct or dec issue of r/c action

 

HERE WE GO!!!!!!

Looks like I'll be building me a 40MPH R/C car with 3 speed automatic, full suspension, etc..

Just so my signature can read:

91 Turbo II
89 Convertible
2002 R/C .30liter 2HP 45MPH

OMG

 

I wonder if you can stick an engine like that in an HPI RS4.....

 

Dang, too bad the dang thing cost $300 for a single motor! Imagine buying two and doing some fab work to create a two rotor beast! That thing would flat out fly!

Chris

 

Yeah, thats a Airplane engine, notice in the magazine scans how he put a fan blade on the driveshaft to cool down the housing because its not in an airplane which obviously has great aircooling.
I'm sure there's more custom parts than that. I dunno about the 3 speed, I've seen 2 speeds but anyone know where he got that from?

 

me and a friend were looking for a small rotary motor that made good power, but ended up not finding much. We ended up with a 15 horsepower motor that is super small and weighs like 10 lbs maybe?

 

my bad.. 15 horsepower two stroke motor.. two piston

 

300 bucks? I think I'll stay with my little .12cc single piston two stroke engine, sounds like a ported rotary engine WAAAH!!! VREEE!!! I don't know something like that, I suck at typing sounds.....
