Very technical RC kits
Discussion
Hi all, I am after your help....
My wife has asked me the other day what I want for Christmas and I knew straight away it would be a RC kit but I don't know which one.
I have not built one since I was playing around with my Grasshopper and Midnight Pumpkin kits when I was 15
The kit I always wanted was the BigWig, purely because it looked cool and the HotShot really appealed to me too but these were always out of reach financially.
My question really is which kit should I go for? I know that's a bit of a silly question but what I am looking for is something that is VERY technical to build with lots of bits to put together (like the differential and suspension etc) preferably with lots of carbon bits and metal fluid filled shock absorbers and stuff like that
I loved building them more than the actual playing with them if truth be told and its the build process I will derive most enjoyment from.
Can anyone suggest a kit that will fill my needs?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

You don't want a kit.
You want plans..
You want plans..
I would love to build something like a HotShot or a BigWig (the original kit with the blister packaging and all the original sponsor logo's etc) but those are a silly prices on ebay
Can you recommend a kit that would be difficult and technical? Maybe something with a metal differential that I could put together and metal shocks etc?

Avante is probably one of the more technical cars you can buy ReRe http://www.modelsport.co.uk/tamiya-avante-2011/rc-...
Or, if pockets are especially deep then one of the three speed 4x4s : http://www.modelsport.co.uk/tamiya-toyota-4x4-pick...
You`ll need a 3 channel transmitter to work the gear change
There are lots of technical build threads for each if you google
That three speed 4x4 is AWESOME! Far too much cash for a toy though Or, if pockets are especially deep then one of the three speed 4x4s : http://www.modelsport.co.uk/tamiya-toyota-4x4-pick...
