Oh yeah, I couldn't beat the price with a stick.

From Japanese to an Italian raging bull. ;D

Pictured:
Tamiya F1 f201, Novak 4.5R BL / Spektrum rx
Calsonic IGT, stock, awaiting Hyper .21 8port transplant from Hyper 1/7
OFNA Hyper 1/7, stock, but waiting for a NR p5x, Vspec or a sick on-road motor.

For $300 I couldn't beat it and had to have it considering they usually want $650 to $750 for them. Quality of the car itself is amazing. Very heavy duty, this will stand up to some abuse. The body is very good looking, infact so good looking that I won't put the wing on it unless it proves completely unstable at speed.

Nose to tail its the same length as a Baja 5b. Its big, and half the weight of a 5b. Though slightly porky at 9lbs, the IGT is 7lbs, and the F1 under 3lbs.

Now, if only a closer place to race this bad boy on a larger track.

The stock rubber slicks are like flypaper. Just pushing the car side to side at the centerpoint of both wheels took almost 20lbs of pressure when I was fooling around at work with the caliper. It measures force applied. 20lbs, thats about 2g cornering without downforce.

These are my Friday toys for the Rt 83 and St. Charles parking lot bash.
Friday, 9:00pm till whenever. Rt 83 and St. Charles. Anythings welcome but its about 750ft x 500ft of fresh asphalt.

Can't wait to see this thing run on Friday

Was this the one you said you were bidding on last Friday?

No, that was a OFNA DM-1, I didn't expect to win.

But the DM-One is basically the same thing except about 3lbs lighter with laydown (revo style) shocks.

See the wheelbase is very similar, Hyper 1/7 is 396mm wheelbase, but the DM-One is 387mm, only 9mm difference Only 1 centimeter basically. However overall length is 735mm for the Hyper 1/7, and 660mm for the DM-One. The hyper is 9lbs, and the DM-One is 6lbs. 3lb difference. Basically the DM-One will spank a Hyper 1/7 around a course.

However I bought it because of the price and the sheer size of the thing. Its HUGE!!! It will make your Maxx look SMALL.

These are the Tower webpages I pulled the images and data from.

one is a kit and one is RTR, that's the main part of the 3lb difference.

Thirdgen89GTA · (#9 (**permalink**))

I think I saw a build up, and it was about 6lbs. There is much less to it than a buggy. I can see it being about a pound lighter than a Inferno GT which is 7lbs RTR. There is a ton of graphite and the chassis is milled out are completely cut through in many places.

above the specs say that the rtr is 9lbs and the kit says 6.4lbs so unless someone is lightening one then it's 6.4lbs in kit form so that's closer to 2.5lbs difference. Now add the electronics and that's about 1.5lbs so the bigger car is still about a pound lighter RTR. (give or take)

Those must be some heavy servos!

hansarvin · (#12 (**permalink**))

well ya if they're the huge ones like in the Baja

Thirdgen89GTA · (#13 (**permalink**))

The DM-One uses standard size servos. Same as any other 1:8th and 1:10th scale.

I meant:

servos
receiver
motor
pipe
rx pack
=1.5lbs
