1/8 F1 twin motor

hey guys
here is what i think is a 1/8 kyosho car my mate gave me
he said he put two 10 turn motors into it but could not drive it would just spin out
if someone could give me some info on it would be great
not sure what to do with this car try & get it going or leave it on the shelf...

that looks like one from their "FORMURA 10" series... it came in GP too, didn't know the EP used 2 motor

10turn x2 is waaaay to hot, be uncontrollable with even half the power

he probably also ran it with what tyres are on it, the foam would be old dried & hard.
Put a new pair of soft foams on the rear before you try driving it.

That is awesome!. I totally forgot about those cars. BITD 2 motors were fine as long as you were on a preped surface, otherwise it would be loose as a two dollar... well you get the idea.

If you run it, be extremely careful. Replacement parts are really hard to find. Better yet, sell it to me so you dont have to worry about it!

i have an 1/8 f1 car toy grade but but still fun to drive
what is the wheel base?

yeah the wheel base is 360mm treehugger
still not sure what i'll be doing with this car, ive got a few yokomo projects to do
if i do end up running it i'll let you know but with parts hard to get hold of probably harder then yok parts im thinking not.
as for selling it i'll let you know Momo5 if i do.
lol at your comment Jay Dub
