hah, you want to have fun?

I picked up a little $20 remote controlled NSX the other day, just a generic 1/18 scale rc car to play with...

Well, after installing some led headlights and souping up the motor and suspension for fun, I decided to see how good of a drifter the car was. It's rwd of course, but with such limited steering ability I couldnt break loose the tires..

Until I whipped out the butter.

I suggest to everyone with an rc car that they coat the rear tires with butter, set it on the ground, and have a blast. I was doing donuts for hours. I'll post a video tonight

(the best parts are the butter burnouts, complete with two fat streaks of yellow goodness)

That's pretty neat. I have a Kyosho Mini-z. Anyone who wants a pretty high-tech mini RC this is one of the best choices. They have a huge 'aftermarket' if you will, I have a blue skyline myself. They're very quick even stock, I can spin really great donuts at half throttle, and you can even do some drifting. Fully proportional steering and throttle, runs on 4 AAAs for about an hour straight. It's a great toy!

lol. sounds cool to me...did you see the other thread that 99&00 pro made about the ricer rcs?? lol.

so what kind of mods did you do to the lil NSX? CAI???
I cut off a shitload of the useless plastic in order to fit a motor from a mini fan in it, then redid the steering setup so it could corner about 2x as well.

but the best mod was the butter.
