Lauderbarker 1/5 scale cars

[Samma3l]

So that I dont derail another thread. Can anyone point me in the direction for info on these cars? Google turned up nothing on them

[James]

good idea starting new thread. sorry for removing those other posts, but they were totally hijacking a legit for-sale post :)

I'm also interested in seeing these 1/5th beasts !lmao

[remotebandit]

Howz it going Samma

I used to have 1 of these cars 2 years ago and let me tell you , nothing can compete against them .

Fully optioned it was with hydraulics etc .

They are allot more expensive than the standard 1:5 scale Dynamic kits etc but you just cant look back .

Unfortunately i had to sell it to fund a pretty high end CRT projector .

Ill see if i can did up some pix for you .

I'd love to have the funds to convert the nitro F1 car over to electric and use something like a lehner 2280 and 8-10S lipos -lol-

[JD]

well apparntly the electric model will out run any zenoah, and will run for approx 30 mins.

[remotebandit]

uhhm , something tells me you cant swap over the cells very quickly and a charge would be best part of a few hours , ill stick to filling it up with fuel in 20 seconds then going again ... hehe

yeah - but for me personally - i'd only bother with something like this if i was pimpin it up - that way - i'd be able to have a few chargers an lipo packs going a few days before -lol-

Although the PETROL ones are supposed to be hella easy to run and maintain aren't they? It'd still be fun - i dunno - for some reason the nitro/petrols don't give me any desire to own one -lol-

[nexxus]

Just a FYI the Cashies at Rockingham has one for $599, looks near new, clean shell unpainted, very clean.

[remotebandit]

a Lauter engine is over $600 so definately electric

[nexxus]

Nope it's a gas powered one!

[JD]

wow, buy it :D

[remotebandit]

SOLD , give me their details NEX ASAP

[remotebandit]

Actually is there anyone up that way can pick it up for me if i send you money , ill get courierp to pick up from your place .

Muchly appreciated

[JD]

give next the cash, and get him to go in and buy it for ya.

maybe get a pic first tho?

[remotebandit]

Im not missing out on it , ill even give cashies credit card details over the phone , i just need someone to pick it up for me as i know cashies arnt co-operative for courier pick ups from past experience

[nexxus]

hey they all look the same, I just saw a big ass Nitro mate, I'd ring Cashies first or send mr RC_King expert to investigate, Nitros are outta my league.

[remotebandit]

petrol you mean yeah , the petrol ones are about 7 times bigger and have a spark plug , like a whipper snipper motor

[JD]

mmm love that 2 stroke :)

come on january bring me my traveller!!!!

[JD]

mate, nex just gave you a compliment, I think you've taken it the wrong way...

[JD]

I think your not being nice :D

but seriously, why do you say that tho?

[Matt]

let it be. back on topic boys.

[nexxus]

Yeah, damn, I think someone who knows more about these should take a look see, the assumption was RC_King knows more on them than I do (and he seems to believe he does as well) so hey, he should check it out right? I don't want to say it's one type and then be proven wrong, mate I know sweet FA about petrol/nitro powered cars.

[remotebandit]

given them a call , Nex is pretty spot on , its not a lauter but still sounds excellent , after dealing with such an EXCELLENT salesman there at cashies today over the phone , and im definately not being sarcastic , he is sending down a pix to me via email this arvo but looks like its a goer anyway from his description , im gonna grab it .

Fleggy , may take you up on your offer of baby sitting it for me for pick up .

Bloody delays my turbine heli pick up now ... damn you Nex

[nexxus]

lol mate if I had a spare $600 I'd have picked it up myself, but damn Brushless things cost big $$

[JD]

they cost even more when you smash em into walls :P

haha jk mate, Just becareful with your crazy fast RC cars lol

[nexxus]

Lol I know, got a Velociti 5.5 system but am going to buy a 4300 motor (slowest one similar to stock) to run first, trying to go from a Sports Tuned to a 5.5 turn with a 100kph top out is crazy!

[nexxus]

Wonder what these 1:5 nitros would do, I'm glad a RC hobbyist is getting it not some gumby who knows nothing about em!

[JD]

1:5ths arn;t nitro arghhh! :P

They have wipper snipper engines, they run on unleaded fuel mixed with some 2 storke oil - thats why they're so good cos fuel is only $1 litre and they run for 45 mins on one tank :D And they have pretty much zero tuning issues like a nitro does.

U can leave sit there and idle for an hour and they won;t overheat of flood or anything, great cars! :)


That being said, U can buy NOS kits for these. And the engines really enjoy a good tuned pipe.

[remotebandit]

SOLD .

Thanx Nex

Got it for $550 but in saying that , $60 postage to get it to Melbourne plus its going to need another $500 - $600 spent on radio ( well servos as i never skimp on servos and only go namebrand ) and probably about another $400 for misc ( inc disc breaks etc ) . Still a good buy though if youve had 1:5 scale experience before as it wont be a prob to get running for me .

[Bowling Ball]

Awesome. Got spot by Nex.

Looks trick. Would love a video once you got it going RB

[nexxus]

Yup thats the one, was smack bang in the front display of the store when I was there Sat, hope she flys!

[remotebandit]

forhot to also mention that this car is a Bergonzoni Brave 2 chassis which arnt too expensive $900US minus radio breaks etc . ( edited , i said rolling chassis b4 , by mistake )

Ive attached a video clip of the exact same 1 running .

Its a weird video format so may not play on some PCs

you've got everything lol

[remotebandit]

all packed away for a rainy day ;)

[losi xxx4 r sweet]

those things r beasts

[remotebandit]

theres only 1 place i know of down here in Melbourne that sells 1:5 ( that i know of ) and their :


Melbourne Track & Hobby Centre
134 Old Geelong Rd Hoppers Crossing 3029


Many years ago their was a show in Vic " Big Boys Toys " which i think is Aus wide at different times but these guys had a massive stand there and thats how they got known by many .

I bought the shell off them atleast 4 years ago , plan was to modify my 1:5 F1 car to take that body but as you can see from the dust , it never happened .

TOp blokes and 1 of the biggest hobby shops in Melbourne , if not the biggest , might be worth some guys calling if stuck on parts for anything as they sell all brands .

[remotebandit]

Ok , announcment.

Ussually i bag allot of cash converters stores as their attitudes are as bad as their prices ( under normal circumstances ) .

I have dealt with Rockingham cashies and their service has been sensational and they have gone above and beyong the call of major yuppie stores .

Ive obviously dealt with the manager of the store and through all his hard work and effort and cooperation , he has box , packed and organised it with my couriers and the car has been picked up as of this morning and is on its way to Melbourne as we speak . I spoke to him bout money for packing and time , and he shrugged it off like i was insulting him .

Where do you find not only helpfull but also efficient service these days like this from a second hand dealer .

My hat goes off to Rockingham cash converters .

ohh and nex for being the spotter . Also thanx to flegg , Matt , James and Balistic all of which offered as well ... ill remember the return favour .
