auto modellista

_NiTrOuS_ · #1 08-31-2002, 01:27 AM

I was wondering, they were talking about a new set of bits called race designs or something like that. I saw sigma selling those but they called them auto modellista. (which is also going to be an awsome cel-shaded racing game for the PS2

) I guess they might be in the game or something. If you sell them here at tiny rc, when, how much, and how many chassis? Does it come with one controller?

The auto modellista set is listed at http://www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hljpage.cgi?TOM64187 . It will be released in September and it sells for $33.64. It's 1 chassis with 4 bodies. Also, it is COMPLETELY AWESOME. I've got to get this set.

TinyRC, are you gonna sell it here? I wanna get it from here instead since you said that its cheaper here. Well I'm gonna compare prices first, if your gonna sell it here. Sigma's gonna sell it for $45.

Yes; we can always beat Sigma's prices, they tend to really mark things up. Are they saying it's in stock!? Because they aren't even out yet?! We could do a pre-order if you like to make sure everyone gets one that wants one.

looks cool, but not enough, after seeing the detailed pics. Those A decals just mess it up. Once someoen gets one, lemme know if you can take the a off. Im coo off bits till i find that mach 5 bit, im sorry, but that things like the pimp mobile.

So hows auto modelista? Hows it handle? And have you played online? Lastly, can it even compare to GT3, or is it just like toyo extreme racer. IMHO GT3 is the best racing sim ever. I love that game. Im not the best at it, but i love the game nonetheless. Its just that close to making you feel like your really driving.

auto modellista is an arcade game so it doesnt really compare to the handling characteristics of GT3' Simulation mode....
but lots of drifting

i also heard it DOES get boring after a while.....

im also looking forward to purchasing the bit charg of those kind...the bodies are interesting, but i dont like their stickers

No their not in stock there, they put it there with the little x sign to say their out of stock. They usually dont do that, they just put the item up when they have it, I guess they really wanted everyone to know that they will one day have it. How much are you going to sell 'em for? I never bought them here before, how much, USPS, do you charge S&H to Hawaii? Do you accept money orders? Thanks again Tiny. Hmm, someone give me ideas on How I should paint or mod my White WRX. I dont have a soldering iron. can you get them at Ace hardware or other hardware companies? Is there a certain size you need espesually recommendedd for bits? and about how much? im getting carried away... ill stop typing now...

Actually I'm not sure what the shipping cost will be on these yet, but because it's USPS it's the same to HI as it is to anywhere else, unlike UPS which penalizes you for being further away. We can take money orders if you email us to coordinate. Thanks!
