RC cars anyone?

[TTerbo]

Well i race/drive RC buggies once every blue moon.
I have a few crappy ones, and i use my Dads good Tamiya nitro sometimes,
Dad gave me his Tamiya RC "FROG" to fix,
he built it 20 or so years ago and i cant wait to fix it.
so if you have an RC car post your pics

AWESOME. Im looking for new servos, ESC the whole deal because their is nothing inside the frog at the moment

I would love to get in RC cars, but it is expensive. The one I'd want the most is the savage flux. It has so much torque, it can do back flips on the spot.

Feels good to be back at the forums, been busy.

Huge rc fanatic. Here is a pic of my Revo 2.5 and 3.3 along side my trusty
RC18T. The two Revos are both Nitro while the RC18T has been outfitted with
brushless and lipo electric power. I aslo have 2 helis, i might add a picture
of those tomorrow. I put my iTouch on the floor infront of the 2.5 so that
those of you who might not know what these are can get a good size
comparison. They are not the type of toy you want to run into your leg
when there flying at over 45mph! :san:

NICE!
My Toy buggy that i run around with at the moment is a Tamiya baja king, im going to upgrade the battery to a Li-po and get a Traxxas 550 titan motor for it.

 

[Gryphon]

Yeah lipos pack quite a punch. I bought it so i could have longer flight times on my heli, but i found it more useful when i discovered i could cramp it into my RC18T. Those poor little dfferentials have never been the same

Got any nitros? I just love the sound the of their engines, makes driving them around that much more fun.

 

[TTerbo]

Yeah my dad has a Nitro, they are so loud and they are also super quick . i hardley ever get to use it but its fun.
Bobhaha showed me a little $200 nitro on ebay that looks fun and dirt cheap for a nitro,

 

[Gryphon]

Nitros are great fun, they require more maintenance then my electrics but its all worth it when it screams by with the throttle pegged. Could you post a picture of your dads nitro, id like to see what it is.

Only RC car I have atm is a Lossi Micro Baja Bug it has upgraded bearings and LiPo. It may become a collectors Item since it was unlicensed and Lossi had to stop producing them. For a little RC it hauls ass as it out runs my dog.

I used to race 1/8 scale onroad parsec sigmas. Was always a rush doing those 30 minute races, going 70mph. It was very expensive though, break an a-arm and your out 60 bucks..I have endless boxes of rc crap, gives me an idea, ebay..

Im thinking about this for my birthday,
so when i fix my frog i will have an off road and an on road
