RC Car racing... Who wants to run with us???

well then maybe its mine i put my max bid to 400 so fuck the other bidders :smiley:

http://hobbyetc.com/

looks like i’ll start shopping there again

HAhaha, yeah I was just messing.

I still mess around with my Mini-T and the Mini-Z. Haven’t used my LST since I got pissed at tuning the POS Mach .26. I found my Nitro Quake after selling it two years prior, it was still in California! Haven’t used it since I got it back.

I just got me an RC car 30 mins ago… see you guys around :mwahaha

I got a chassis that needs a motor and other running gear… Its a RS4 3. I should make it a beast and big block it… .28!!! :mwahaha

I have no idea what I have :lol

post a pic… one of us might know just by looking at the chassis

ya im pretty much gonna bet on winning this RS4 3 drift conversion…

If I win it i’ll come by on the weekends or something on a sunday or whenever u mess around… but yea it looks good i’ll run tht stock motor until i blow it up or if its already blown when i get it i’ll try to get that .18SS motor… looks sick !

The shell looks identical to the one in this auction, the inside looks similar too.

It’s a Taxxas with a 3.3 from what I was told, but that’s all I know.

At the moment I need gas, crystals, and batteries (Both Remote and RC had “on” position when purchased so both are probably shot).

Newb :tong

me and eric (reckone) have rs4-2 there belt driven, yours is by drive shaft.
But looking at the pics of the autcion for a good 10 min. its got standard ebay hop ups, like aluminum everything. and the only thing “spec D” about it is the PVC black tires that i have. ive got the same body, but its got a couple of goodies on it ;D

Thats the Traxxas Nitro 4-Tec.

I was going to get one of those before. There rated for like 75+ MPH right from the box :bowdown

Heres my old body,spent ALOT of time making it. youve probably seen it on ebay. i sold it for 65 i think last year BCAUSE IM STUPID!!!.

Pics are from a old cell phone i have just to take pics for ebay and stuff. but for some reason i will update this and take new pics

That looks fantastic!

Front and rear lights huh? I guess there is a lot of money you can sink into these puppies.

Nice choice of wheels too! :wow

I need new tires, and apparently since it’s a very convenient mounting system consisting of superglue, I’m looking at new wheels as well, along with a new body for starters.

That Nismo body is detailed! The R34 one should look sick when your done with it.

I have just about the same wheels. Picked them up at Hobbytown along with some radials.

yea is by drive shaft, i liked the carbon fiber upper decks and the alloy a arms, its an RS4 3 (evo?) however he got the conversion kit which is basically a chassis and a few other things to move the engine up more forward… its a stock .15 motor

I had an hpi nitro mt before, way back when they were a new model, and I remember upgrading that alot i spent liek 500 bucks to get a bunch of alloy on mine and then my step mother threw it out when i went to my mothers for a couple of weeks… !!! :angry2

I had a micro rs4 belt driven also that thing was a sick little car because I made my custom battery pack there with 8 or 10 cells i forgot of ni-mh AA’s and i melted my team orion race motor so i went back to stock motor and even with the stock motor it was so fuckin fast with that many cells the wires kept coming off the motor nearly every run

anyways its all good, i wanna get an Rs4 that has some hop ups and I dont wanna take the time to go from scratch cuz I wont be using it much since its on road anyways… and the only place i’ll use this thing is in a parking lot with other r/c guys…

Yea ebays the place to go for a car. Most of them already have tons of hopups on them, but you can get it at a fraction of the cost.

For the price of the hopups I got for my cars. I could have bought a new built up car for half the price of what I spent :headbang

ya becuase i spent so much money even on my micro rs with new chassis, and all the little things like steering knuckles, new diffs, new bodies and wheels and all that crap i spent way to much money

so i thought this time its just better to get a used one with mad hop ups that way when i sell it i wont loose a grand

also uh he put another pic up, shows that he did actually use the hpi stag d conversion kit for RS4 evo, im gonna ask him if he still has the original chassis and parts from the original car cuz I would like those thoo :stuck_out_tongue:

there is 2 or 3 bodies included with it, the 350 looks nice so do the extra rims, even if the motor comes blown and the radio is not there or working (cuz i dont see it in the pics) i dont care its good enough for what i bidded

oh and i always wanted to get a manual for a car i wanted that was popular, go to some place liek hobby etc and just buy every part aftermarket and see if I could build it with no oem parts…

I know with Tmaxx’s you could!

funny you should mention that. heres my hpi rs4 MT AKA, RUSH NITRO EVO

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/Ghost112/0220081507.jpg

got a couple things done but its my beater. until the rs4-2’s done

if the motor comes blown i have 2 .15 FE’s and 1 GX-15 from an old kyosho u can have.

i JUST spent 65 on a 2 speed tranny for my rs4-2 :idiots damn you guys, welll here goes my bank account.

NICE !

i had the nitro mt 4x4 , i almost got the rush but i really really wanted 4x4 so i just got the 4x4 but im talking about the original rush, before the evo… then they came with SS editions or something? now i guess its all evo ? i dont know

but yea if motor is blown i’ll throw you some dough for one of yours :slight_smile: thanks

im probably gonna have to get some crystals huh ? wat freq u all running

What are some good sites to look for body’s, wheels, headlights/tails etc for Traxxas?

Two of the wheels on this one are cracked.

Also where do you guys go for gas? Hobbytown?

Who wants to teach me how to pilot this thing? ;D

Edit: I need crystals too, but might as well buy the ones that nobody else has at the moment.

Yes…

hobbytown is probably a good choice when i used to go there they used to have only traxxas stuff then i heard they stopped and became an hpi exclusive dealer when they moved to kohles ? so maybe they dont have stuff but either way they got wheels and a body for sure…

pro line makes great bodies and wheels

and … uh… oh yea hobbyetc is where i used to get all my hopups that and on hpiracing.com but i dont know if hobbyetc.com does traxxas stuff im 95% sure they do, go check it out

but be careful this shit is so fuckin expensive if u start getting into it upgrading and stuff, and the performance doesnt even change LOL just when u do stuff like 2 speeds or 3 speeds and new engines and stuff like that
