RC Cars

[zieg]

I have a losi comp crawler.. 7955tg servo, novak 18.5t brushless crawler motor on a shitty ass LRP speedo.. it's actually not bad, but I wish I waited for the xr10. I just got a kickass deal on the losi, couldnt pass it up.


Where are you guys buying your parts from?

I have one that's pretty much mint. Only used a few times. PM me for more info.

Since going to lipo I find my nitro's sit and collect dust.

Installing the Mamba Monster with the Castle conversion in my 8 2.0 this week, cant wait to try out the brushless and lipo.

I bought a REVO. Ran it enough to break it in. Has sat in my basement since... hahaha

I have so many toys that I never use.

I picked up this guy.

Nice. For your first upgrades I would suggest you go for the RPM a-arms and shock towers. Metal shock caps might be good too, depending on how you drive.


Last week I picked up.. this guy:



Running a Tekin RS Pro on an old, ratbagged LRP x11 17.5 for touring stock. Futaba s9551 for turnin' and Team Checkpoint 4900 mah 40c 2s lipo for goin'. Should be sweeeet.

[Unknown303]

Yeah I'm a huge fan of the RPM products. Had those on most if not all of my old RCs.

Its ironic i stumbled upon this thread today....the very day I took my Traxxas Slash out for the 1st time since May.
I fogot how much fun these things are...especially with Lipo.

[Jetta-2.0]

i picked up a traxxas stampede its really fun and well worth the 200 bucks

[Unknown303]

Finished breaking in the T-Maxx yesterday Man is that thing entertaining.

ERevo FTMFW!!

Brushless electric motor, Lipo Batteries, this will easily crush anything out there.

Was just out this weekend ripping mine around on the bmx jumps in Tuscany.

[Unknown303]

Those electrics are sick. But I love engines. And these little ones rev out to 30,000rpm. Sounds so damn cool.

I've had my T-Maxx for a few years now. Haven't sunk that much money into it and its given hours of fun.

I think the only things i've bought from *retail* were RPM A-Arms and the big bore shocks. I've got the shocks set up with heavy (80wt) oil and soft springs right now, soaks up the bumps really well and sticks like glue to the ground after a jump. Scrapes up the skid plates really good though!

Bought a buncha stuff on Ebay - got really lucky and bought a used lot of tmaxx parts for $40. Got a sweet aftermarket chassis, titanium front skid plate (best thing ever! can land on the nose of the truck and it bounces on the Ti, lol) and a decent steering servo. A bunch of other stock stuff too like driveshafts and shit.

Just wish I could stop shredding fucking spur gears. At least I can pull the engine and replace the spur in about 15 minutes now, haha!

I'm also having problems with my air filter neck bending (when landing jumps) and touching the spur gear - its almost worn a hole right thru it!

If someone were to ask me what to get if they were just getting into it, i'd probably suggest a Savage kit with an aftermarket radio. Then again - for just getting into nitro Traxxas provides and un-comparable kit to learn about nitro!
I'll put up some pics of my dusty, dirty Maxx with a rattlecan paintjob later if I remember!

Oh - Just remembered the other thing I got for it, the resonator exhaust pipe. That thing really woke up that 3.3!

If anyone wants to come out to one of my properties, we have built a huge dirt RC track.
Its 120' x 120' with jumps, high bank curves, table tops, etc etc.

Still in the "fine tuning" area but the more cars and input the better.

Great track for 1/10th and 1/8th but my Baja 5T seems to have some issues with the corners.

Welcome anytime.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the track is located about 10 min west on the 1a from Crowfoot heading towards Cochrane.

Too damn cool! I'd be up for that sometime for sure!

[Colin_R6]

Wow, that sounds awesome!

Day/Time/Google map?

I'll bring a few extra spur gears, haha.

[zieg]

Hmm, if that goes ahead I might have to actually buy some fuel for my truggy..

[Jetta-2.0]
