LRP S18 TC TEAM FACTORY



AWESOME! I got myself an MB4 type touring 1/18 scale all pro race grade race. All carbon and alloys upgrade under the hood. No question ask. However i don't have guts to go outdoor run it on the tarmac yet due to open air spur/pinion and fragile looking tyre after experienced several several 1/18 collection i have in the past. Its to much jeweled and bling to see it runing outdoors, should i keep it on the cupboard or should i play with it?
Unlike the off-road version of MB4 this Touring spc have interesting suspension system, i took few hours of my time to dismantel and examine each mechanical parts, its a good experience and knowledge to know these thing as it can also apply to my virtual car design and 3d models which i work on my secondary hobby. The models are much tougher, rigid, solid and have high quality mechanism and performance compare to my old NRX18 and HBX 1/18 tourer.

After lots of thinking and future investment thingy on this models, 2 days later i decided to sell it off to local buyer because i don't think i'm getting back on-road racing again. Off-roading have more kicks in me.
