RC Talk - What do you have/discussion.

started a low COG 4x4 slash chassis in the middle of the crawler… havnt finished either… then lost my (or was stolen) radio Dx3r after a race in Syracuse, kinda bummed me out from finishing anything lol

I have a bunch of FM radios if you want a radio/receiver. it sucks people thieve stuff like that.

That really sucks. I just gave someone a Transmitter Receiver because they were pressed for cash and it was the OEM one from my T4. Everything went spektrum now as you see in the one photo.

I was bored so I made a snow slash. I used the 22mm wheel adapters and the ski from my Baja 1/5 scale truck.

The paddle tires worked better than the stampede tires and this thing is a beast in the snow!

I’ll take a vid tomorrow, but I can’t believe how good it turns and goes.

Pretty sweet, definitely interest in seeing the video.

I picked up a Blade SR, Blade mSR and a Estes nano quadcopter. I will say if you are into flying things check out the Estes quad, its freaking small as hell and a blast to fly!

I’ve seen those small quad copters… LEDs on them and fits in your palm. Quick little f*ckers.

Yea they are very quick and a handful but still a blast.

Bump.

Something got into me to get back into r/c cars again. Anyone into it still?

Bump I pulled out my HPI MT1, which I believe the Engine is getting tired. I then had trouble finding my hpi savage so I had to buy a Savage X… The addiction has taken over.

Same here. I started buying new toys and gear…

Bought my son a quad copter/ drone for his 10th birthday. First one for both of us. Has a camera so I can take pics / video of high spots on my house. Getting used to it. Fun for sure.

So I decided to rear into the Engine of me HPI MT1, I bought it used years ago, and kinda knew everything was old and the motor was tired. Here’s a picture of the piston sleeve being super worn. The piston should be like An 1/8" below the top of the sleeve.

I was gonna try to re-pinch it myself but when I looked it up I found a guy in springville/Chaffee area that re-pinches sleeves for $20+shipping.

Just picked up this savage x off ebay, I don’t like the purple but it’s a clean truck. Just got it today so I have to test it still.

I have the electric version of the MT if you’re looking for parts truck? If you’re interested I’ll gather up what I have and make me an offer. I’m not sure what all I have, but I’ll sell it cheap.
