No, I sold the Insignia amps.
The only amp I have is a "Verge" Mono block. I bought this from a Circuit city in the USA 4 years ago. It was a $50 clearance item, and it produces around 250 WRMS into 2 ohms. Not a bad little amp for $50.

I have no other amps right now . . . part of the reason I am running the comps of HU power not amp power (well, I shouldn't say I have no other amps. I do have an old Legacy 2 channel "400 watts" with a 25A fuse and an old pyramid 360 watt 4 channel with a 15 A fuse ).

 

Drift tires? I used electrical tape on old tires for the same effect worked great.
TT-01 is a great chassis I never owned one but wanted too I had an old tamiya buggy that was great, I did have a couple on roads, Associated TC3 loaded in race spec that and a full carbon fiber 1/18th scale.
I have a couple off roads left, one vintage traxxas buggy (all gold alloy chassis) a loaded up (like stupid) associated 1/18th 4wd buggy (brushless)
and the last is a 1/10 HPI wheely king. I would be up for trading RC for Car Audio lol

Bill, I am done exams around the 7th and would be open after then as well.

I tried electrical tape it was alright, but not great. I found the car still gripped a bit too quickly coming out of a drift. Part of my problem is I taped up my radial tires which are very soft (air filled tires). I think the softness of the tires allowed the taped tire to grip better on pavement. Also, I wore through the electrical tape in 2-3 charges. I don't want to be bothered continually re-wrapping the tires.

Besides, drifting is fun! It is what I loved about my Tyco as a kid - I waited for snow storms to slide it all over my driveway.

 

^ Just cut 2" pipe into donuts the correct width and they should slide onto your touring car wheels.

I have a *few* RCs

 

I was going to mention that as well but I dont think its very good, the pvc pipe is too slippery especially when you have any decent power.
I used electrical tape over hard foam cored rubber tires as well as over foam racing tires (they were shot anyways)
Snow and after rain is fun, I wouldn't as much with an on road, I used to cover all my electronics in cling rap and "play" in the snow. My 4wd trucks are fun in the snow, I also was able to pull drifts with my mamba 8000 powered rc18t (4weel drive 1/18th scale truck laid out exactly like your car) (google castle creations mamba for some fun)
Dukk what do you have?

 

LOL I have a "Verge" 4ch amp I got from an ebay seller in Concord a few years ago. If you want it for free you can p/u in Etobicoke.

So the ghosts are still hanging around are they?.... I have a couple like that, I think everyone who's been into this for a while has at least 1 amp they just look at and say"WTF was I thinking??"

No wonder you don't want more, although Nick's would make a nice matching set.....

 

I have a TYCO RC. with the spinning front wheels.. (COMERCIAL VOICE) TYCO RC!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nick's offer is good, I'm just far from Etobicoke.
I had a verge 2 channel before 75wrms x 2 @ 4ohm.
I'm quite certain that it produced the 75 wrms, but it wasn't all that "clean" sounding . . . it could have been the amp or my Polk EX comps or both . . .
But for free, I can't really turn my nose up at that.

The Legacy amp was from when I was 18 and I assumed "It says 400 watts. A watt is a watt, so what if it is a cheap amp." 4 years after buying it I was playing with the cross-over settings in the dark. I accidentally flipped the "bridged - mono" switch . . . it got really loud for 2 seconds then went into protect mode. Next time I turned the system on, it set one of my Jensen subs on fire After that, it still worked bridged, but not stereo. I ran it for 4 more years yet and metered it on a test tone - it produced 195 wrms . . . I was surprised it actually did that much. I expected between 100-150 wrms.

For the last 5 years it has been sitting open in my basement as a learning amp. So far I've tested a bunch of the internals (transistors, resistors and caps) and can't find a thing wrong with it So I won't get rid of it until I completely blow it up, or find out why it doesn't work in stereo.

The Pyramid I found on the side of the road with garbage. I has a major ground problem as it works nice and quiet with the car off, but as soon as I turn the car on it has a horrible alternator buzz/whine . . . and it wasn't my RCAs or ground wire as I had 3 other amps work problem free on the exact same wires in the exact same location. Again, I want to keep this amp until I can fix the bugger up. The best way to learn, is to experiment with something that you just don't care about; make a mistake, nothing lost. Fix it up, be proud of what you learned (and maybe sell it to someone )

 

Hehe . . . I picked up a Kenwood 4 channel amp from the installer Larry at Base in town. I gave him 2 RF P2D410's that needed the tinsel leads re-soldered inside the cone (that was a bit to tricky for me). He did the work, took the subs for a friend and gave me the old Kenwood 4 channel. He might have gotten the better deal there, but I didn't need the subs, nor could I fix them . . . I'll use that amp to bi-amp my comps until I can find a processor for dirt cheap.
