After being reminded of alloy RC bangers, I went in search. Found this.

Superb,looks like great fun, some of those also seem to bend in a very authentic way.

It is great fun, and theres something oddly satisfying in spending a fair bit of time and effort on something, only to destroy it. I even metalflaked one car, a 2dr P6, and added about 8 heavy coats of laquer, then got a mate to signwrite it properly, and lacquered it again, and detailed it. The next weekend it ended up in about 10 pieces. I can imagine that those who know what they are doing go to a lot of effort to get them to bend properly. It attracts all sorts, ex racers, current racers, fans, kids, other formula RC racers, allsorts. Ive still got my car. Its a bit of a triggers broom. Vin plates still the same though. Got history.  |

How robust is all the running gear and electronics? Could imagine it could cost a small fortune having
to replace bits like wheels,steering and other parts each time.

Cheap as chips and has to be one of the strongest kits out there. The car I used was a few years old off ebay and it was ages before anything broke, and that was a car that was pretty much standard, I think you can use afew little tricks to make them stronger, but they don't really have any weak points. A full set of glued and trued wheels and tyres is a tenner, and the wheels themselves are tuff as old boots. |

They are Mardave V12's. They mostly look like this  Very easy to make them looooooong  They are used for all sorts of formulas, hotrods, stockcars, saloon stocks, reliant robins  |
