Haven't seen an RC car thread in a while so...

[FooTemps]

Any RC car/truck enthusiusts out there? I just feel like reading the ramble of RC car talk. lol...

[Gotenks]

well I just got my bit char-g NSX...

very cool, It came with a 1.0 motor, but I also got a 2.6.

The 1.0 makes it lasts at least 2 minutes longer, but with the 2.6 I can do donuts and peel out and junk.

for anybody who don't know what bit char-g's are, here's a pic. Each of them are a little bigger than a quarter. The NSX-R just came out so I couldn't find many pics, so here's a rx-7

[FooTemps]

heh, I want one of those but right now I became crazed with off-road nitro cars. lol

Me and my father have a pair of Team losi rally cars. Gas powered engine, carbon fiber body, we did the paintjob on the cars ourself. Aaaah, quality time with your dad. None better spent in life.

I have an old RC 10 D/S. Bought it a while ago for about $300. Used it a couple times, but has some weird problems I should fix and i never realy got a chance to use it much... I should prolly try to fix it up but its probably not worth it because its obsolete by now...

[CRASHKING]

i got some pics of my truck after putting about $500 into it

this is a side pic before i put more money into it.
i got a new body for it(ford excursion) yet to get paint and stuff for it but it will be dupli's color changing paint i will be getting silver/green color for it . and i might get a hummer body and either use red/blue changing paint or paint it black.



this is a pic with it newly upgraded.
xtm.24 engine(a monster)
xtm t-maxx .21 conversion kit(came with the pipe and filter)
xtm failsafe
xtm.21 pro head (a lot better than the cast metal small head that came stock)
other than that its all stock


i know i will be breaking parts with this beast and i will then replace them with better parts for it.
i have probably spent 1,100.00 and will soon spend more once i figure out a problem with it.

you now know where my money goes to as i own only a spyder tl+ with a revvy as its only upgrade LOL.
might get extreme-enag if i get the money for it but for the setup i want i will need about 2.5k

its a tough truck for sure. and the .15 that came with the t-maxx cant even dream of comparing with the .24

i've seen some r/c enthusiest spend 2k in one week on a truck and not be done. so i think r/c ing cost more than pball lol and i like both r/c ing and paintball

I just got me T Maxx this past Sunday!!! Man this truck is SWEET!

I love the sound the transmission makes when it switches to second. Mmmmmm... and the smell of nitro exhaust early in the morning... nothing like it

~~Liquid~~

[FooTemps]

I want a t-maxx or a terra crusher. I might even get a buggy if I can find some good ones I can mod the hell out of. Any reccomendations?

[nic m85]

hey Gotenks, where do you get those at?

[InfinatyBPS]

Hmmm, anyone know any good online stores for RC Cars? I have my old RC 10, but its kinda big and clunky, and well... kinda broken... so ya. I'll get pics of it later, but ya anyone know how much a complete set up would be for a decent car(aka not Nikko, or Tyco ) with the chasis, all internals parts, wheels, motor speed control, remote, I have like 4 1700 batteries, so anything else it needs to run? I would perfer it to be electric...

[Gotenks]

nic

I forgot where I got mine at...

but try www.gamefantasy.com

or go to yahoo and search for "bit char-g"

[Timmee]

I've got a few R/C cars. My favorite (right now) is the HPI RS4-MT (electric). I once won a 250 lap figure 8 race with it (a few years ago). I'm hoping to get back into racing, but to do that, I'll need new battery packs, and maybe a new charger.

i have sooo many rc things that i never use.

i have a usa-1 electric monster truck, lots o fun

nitro sport traxxas rally truck

bunch of random tyco toy store type thingies.


then i have planes.
a big 4 stroke shokio
.40 trainer
electric glider
Raptor helicopter
cool 550 little electric boat
and a electric ducted fan shooting star.


fun stuff

[CRASHKING]

it would be better to get your r/c gear at a hobby shop

250 laps on one battery sure seems long for a battery to last

if i had a choice in trucks i'd get a t-maxx there's a lot of people with them and even a few sites made for them.
one i go to is www.maxxtraxx.com

[InfinatyBPS]

wow it can be like $700 for a gas engine? Thats crazy you can get a car engine for cheaper...
