Nitro RC cars

    How're ye lads.

    Now, i don't know much details, but i have two nitro RC cars in the shed for the last maybe five years. Haven't been used in ages. Now one has a Bmw Z3 shell and the other a Subaru Impreza. Tyre's are bald, and wheels are a bit chipped. Haven't tried starting them in years so i'm guessing they won't start. They take 4 batteries, and 8 in the remote if i remember correctly. They need the glow plug starter thing, and then a pull start. I think the tracking (if possible) was off on one of them.

    Have these any value, and would they be worth getting going again. I think i pay nearly £300's at the time for them.

    I'll try get some pics tomorrow.

    wheels look like the Associated TC3 wheels I think?

    No idea what they're worth, I'm afraid.

    If they aren't worth much, i'll leave them there until i get time and money. It'd be hard to get rid of them after all the years lol.

    I'd say that's prolly your best bet. Besides, it's always sad to see someone selling up and getting out of the hobby. Stick with it and good luck!

    And some fresh fuel and a few glow plugs and give it a go. She might just fire up again.
