My Birthday Present To Myself
 

I decided that I needed a new toy for my birthday, so I got myself my fourth AE, a TC3:

Of course, I had to top an awesome car with an equally awesome body, so I went for a scale version of what my grandpa has:

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some street surfing to do. :)

60 bucks for the roller! :D

Dude It looks like something in one of the videos or something.
I like it. It would do me no good but hey. I still like it.

hey man - i thought u were more of an off roader! -lol- Good buy there man! What kinda tyres are they driftin on - abs?

btw - i think that's the first S600 merc i have ever seen other than HPI's site! -lol-

Is it going BL or is that a stupid question? -lol- :)

sorry no pics of the TL-01 deleted em from photocuket long time ago

Camel has been an underground drifter for quite a bit now. I recall an 18th scale drifting movie.

Nice ride Camel. What runtimes do you get on this setup?

DAF

haha! - do we have a link to the vid? or is it long gone with the rest of everyone's uploaded vids at rcpics? -lmao-

I gots me a yokomo kit with the novak, but a few different shells hehehe ;)

Nah, no vids of any drifting, they mysteriously dissappeared a while ago. However, feel free to check out his RC Pics account to see some of the stupid junk we've done. :D

Nice ride camel!
If you want to make your Benz truly authentic, you should change the S600 to S65.
AMG changes Mercedes' three number naming to their two number naming to represent how many liters their engine is. It's actually a 6.4 liter but S65 sounds better than S64.:D
Sorry, I'm just really into cars, especially fast ones like AMG!

Very nice!

I have one for sale with alot of extras (UK only) just drop me a PM if intrested. :)

lol, is that a brushed system i seee? come on camel! drifting at 50mph is more fun then at 20!

I thought I was more of an offroader, too. Oh well! I'm using ABS, cause it's the good stuff. You don't see a lot of the S600's, especially one drifting around! Yes, that is a stupid question. We all know that the 8s will eventually go in there.

Wait a second, sounds a little ricey there. The carbon is cool, but use it sparingly. And when you say "tuner mufflers" please tell me that you don't mean fart tubes. I'd like to see it in action.

Oh yes, I started the RC drifting craze when I discovered that film canisters worked as drift wheels on my micro RS4.

Here's that vid:

:D

I like the RC better ;)

You see too much Benz' around here.

I like the rc better to. Don't see as many benz around here. Don't think it would look right with big tires and a shotgun and fishing pool in the back window. Has to be the redneck style. :D

Don't tell grandpa but, thats actually an E class that he has not an S class like your r/c car. Still a nice car though!:D (both of yours)

we got a benz expert! i honestly like BMW, more sport, and technologically advance. PLust its just as comfortable.

(I know)

His is a E320. Mine is a S600 AMG. I was with my grandpa in Stuttgart when he picked up that car from the factory.

I don't really like BMW's. Last summer, I was with my grandparents in Germany and they rented a 540i. I must say, the E320 is a lot faster off the line and through the turns and is much more comfortable.

Well 540 is more of a passenger car. Really depend on if its a a 3, 5, or 7 series, or even the m5s!!!

Hey Coolhand, is this you? I don't see the shotgun. :p

True, there's no shotgun, but what about the underwear on the sidewalk next to the truck?

hahaha, thats actually a really cool idea...HMMi wonder how it would work if the car is still moving...

Nope that is not me. The guys does look like someone I know. :D
It might be one of my neighbors.

Here's a little vid:

My TC3 and Dabid's TT-01 drifting around.

NEEDS BL!!! put that 8s in there and watch it drift a 40mpH!! come on!!! You live near dabid? Cool!! just hit my 400th post!!

Yeah, dabid's my brother. He lives at the same house as me.

REALLY? that must be awesome, which is older?

Nice video mate! What tyres do you run on it, are they just called "ABS" or are they built into the wheel?


Spammer. :M:
