RC Car/Truck thread

Maybe I will check out glenwood sometime

I have my own issues. I gotta get it started lol. its a stock RTR so nothing too impressive

I love the STI RC clone

I think I have an HPI RS4 MT and a box of parts.

Not looking to sell though.

My HPI Savage is pretty badass though, I have a Losi Mach427 motor in it, It blew up both my diffs lol. It does back flips when i hit the gas… its a 10-15lb Monster truck! Goes probably 40+mph only has a 2speed tranny.

this effing thread has me wanting another RC car. this will be my next buy. The price seems too good to be true tho. RTR with FM radio for 300. 8th scale AWD Nitro powered buggy

Smashed it into a telephon pole off course my 1st time racing it. I landed the jump from several feet in the air, but failed to make the corner, jumped the pipe and nailed the pole with the head. Bent the chassis a little and bent the cooling fins on the head. Still ran fine after too:D

Buy electric end of story nitro is so worthless.

Brushless. But then you don’t get to hear that sexy nitro engine purring!!!

Nitro is fun.
Not as clean and easy as electric but still fun and take more of a beating.
(unless you are in 1/10th land :P)

Im in both :slight_smile:

Ill rock nitro all day anyday. dont like electric

XXXT-CR Race truck

Pro class Bully crawler

Sportsman class Axial crawler

Also have a slash and sc10 for racing

Nice,

I just bought like $40 of parts FML… lol, 2 glow plugs, new clutch shoes and springs(it was dragging on my RS4 MT) New Motor mount screws since they were stripped from the previous owner… Also broke the plastic carb arm from a rough landing earlier today, even though it was safe under the body(it was cold out, probably the cause)…ordered a metal one. Also a fuel filter since I just had to rebuild my carb on my RS4 MT. I am also awaiting 2 dogbones so the RS4 MT will be AWD again, should be better in the snow.

Wish list:

Tires for the RS4 MT - $40+
Savage Flux Diff for the front of my savage since my new motor blew up the original. - $45.

Shit adds up even though most parts are less then $5.00

what tires did you get for the mt?

None yet, But I need some. Thinking of these

Do you race this at glenwood?

yea all the time so does Big E

edit: wow i didnt realize how shitty that pic looked lol o well

My friend is trying to get me to race there…
He will even lend me one of his cars.
Nerney will have to wait until after the new year though… It’s a PITA to try and have a hobby with 2 small kids I already
do not get enough time with.

hmm, didnt know this many people were into rc’s. i have a losi mini desert truck right now, some small changes, running trimmed mini t body on it, replaced some parts with aluminum. swapped out the bushings with bearings and running a mamba brushless motor, some other things. car hauls ass for its size. havent ran it in a while though, ill have to pull it out and post up a pic here. i dont race, just drive it around in parking lots

No shit ha, didnt know he was in to R/Cs

Maybe I will break out my old truck and try it out on a practice night.
