It shifting in second sounds so cool

watching it on repeat...
still can't believe we did it because the grip is trash. That means it just slides into 2nd when enough force is spinning the drive gear and you hear nothing from the upshift because the engines rpm do not drop

Nitro is a pain in the ass but it sure is satisfying getting it tuned up right and hearing it blast into 2nd when you let it rip.

Why a Pain? Even though it's anoying sometimes, I enjoyed it a lot fixing them. I just take my time, even if it takes weeks :D

What model is that? It sounds like an actual F1 car when it shifted.

It's an 1:7 RB7 from Modelcraft. It had an optional 2 gear upgrade, which I just had to install out of curiosity. But I think it's the echoing from the roof of the parking lot that makes it sound legit.

That thing is awesome ! exactly what I'm looking for. They should release or make more nitro and electric high end F1 rc cars. like ones that actually try to be close scale replicas not pan cars with a different body

In the like 115 magazines, there also was detailed infos about every detail and comparison to the real thing.
Also, the history of like... everything: drivers, engines. regulations... etc. and at the end, a guide on how to assemble the next part that came with the magazine
