My desire is going back

I stumbled on this while browsing through TAMIYA’s Japanese website:

I actually cannot afford this hobby but I’d be happy just to get one. YES! Just one unit and that would be fine. After getting one, I’ll focus on tuning. XD But to get it, I have to shave off Php 15,000 at least.

I already stopped dreaming about this expensive 1/10 scale Radio Controlled car but when this drift version of the Nissan GT-R came out, I suddenly want to get one. Especially it comes in Gun Metal Gray Color.. 😀 If only I can just get one. Just the car itself first since this comes in bits and pieces, doesn’t come as an RTR (Ready-To-Run). I really like to get one. Hohoho! This car then must cost at around Php 6K so I think I should start saving now if I still want to get this before I graduate. It’s gonna be a long term project, though. 😀

Takara-Tomy Aero R/C Drift Package Light

Aero R/C was Takara-Tomy’s attempt to make an R/C in which owners can assemble and modify it themselves. However, not all countries liked it much. In the Philippines, products were pulled in and out several times just to see whether people will buy it. Now, they have produced this “D-spec” version of the Aero R/C and it is called “Drift Package Light”. It was developed with “Yokomo”, an R/C drifting specialist company. The chassis now has drifting tires, camber adjusted wheels and four wheel drive for drifting. Just a bit of information, R/C needs 4WD for drifting unlike the one in real life. This was actually a big hit that even Philippine Micro R/C enthusiasts chase after this drift version series. One vehicle costs around Php 2000 and if you’re after the realistic series where two vehicles are currently available, an Ae86 trueno and Re Amemiya’s RX-7 D1GP, a reasonable addition of Php 200-300 pesos would be added. Sounds interesting as many hobbyists are really into dissecting this piece of excellent work. 😀

Choro-Q Nissan GT-R

Oh my, I never thought that this will come out immediately in this series. I’m a big fan of micro cars and I actually have 3 Q-steer cars in my pocket. However, this one, the Nissan GT-R, is not yet released but will come out as a Choro-Q or the pull-back one. I was hoping to get a Q-steer version with all of the Drift Tires and more. OooOoOOOoh How I LoOOOVe It~~! I’m planning on getting 2 units with converting the first unit to a Q-steer body. I’m also getting the Sprinter Trueno Drift version (although it’s red, Carbon fiber hood still looks good on it and black wheels.. :D)

Here’s the AE86:
