i think less of your intelligence for complementing my setup
kidding

its actually already been waaay bashed before i got it.
somone spraypainted it gold and probably hit a huge jump with it and tore alot of stuff up.

it needs all the bushings replaced, i replaced one of the spindles because it had huge groves in it.

if i decied to sell some PB stuff and get back into R/c i wont stick with this truck, i'll definatally go with something more advanced.

here's a pic of it.


its kinda rough, tomorrow i'll build some jumps and try to break it to give me an excuse to go to the hobby shop.

[skife]

just took her out for her first test drive.

She's quick, but runtimes blow, i need to get myself an ESC.

i think i have it geared waaay to high, i'll have to change that stuff around today.

jumping kinda sucked, i made a jump out of a roll of convayer belt it hit it and just endoed.

the paddle ties do not like the gravel in my driveway, they need sand for full affect.

but definatally a new Speed controller, mech = crap.

Sweet! I'm sure you'll get everything figured out.

skife - did you have any luck breaking it yet?

[skife]

no luck yet, i got out the RC10 thought, it drives so much nicer i dont have a track/jumps built right now, i'm trying to get a rc10 GT or a B3 buggy before next weekend, i'm going up to ludington to stay with a friend for awhile and they have beaches and i have a set of paddle tires.

Wow, an Optima...now that is a car I remember. That was the only good car Kyosho made at the time. I raced 4wd oval against a lot of Optimas and they always gave me s goog race. I think I'll run down and take a pic of my one R/C box.

[skife]

muz you know you want to play with 'em.

[Muzikman]

My problem is not too many place to "play" with them. The only car that I could play with would be the JRX-2 and to be honest, I am afraid of blowing out the diff, I can't get replacement parts.

[skife]

what cars do you own?


get out one of the RC12l's and head out to the school parking lot or somthing.

There was a thread on R/C Cars.... http://www.automags.org/forums/show...highlight=R%2FC

Here is my post from that thread

I raced at the national level back in the late 80's early 90's in the 1/12 scale class. I raced in just about every division you can on just about every surface you can for electric cars. I still have them all and they most still run. I quit racing in about '92. Below are a list of my cars, in about the order that I got them.

* Hotshot - Tamiya - 4wd off-road (this was my first REAL R/C car and never actually competed with it.)

* Boomerang - Tamiya - 4wd off-road

* Bigwig - Tamiya - 4wd off-road (almost identical to the Boomerang, except it had a tub chassis)

* R/C-10 - Associated - 2wd off-road (converted to a fiberglass framed carpet oval car)

* Avante - Tamiya - 4wd off-road

* Dominator - Custom Works - 4wd oval (carpet or dirt)

* RC-12L - Associated - 1/12 scale carpet road

* JRX-2 - Losi - 2wd offroad (dirt and carpet)

* RC-12L - Associated - bought this after I destroyed the first one at Lake Whipperwill in Florida (yes, these little things break when they hit something do 45mph)

* JRX-2 (converted to a truck) - Losi - 2wd offroad (dirt and carpet)

* 1/10 Scale Predator - Pancar (For the life of me I can not think of who made this car) - Carpet and asphalt road and oval.

* 1/12 Scale Predator - For the life of me I can not think of who made this car) - 1/12 scale carper road

* 1/12 Scale Corally - Corally - 1/12 Scale carpet road

* RC-10L - Associated - Pancar - (I bought this just before I quit so I never got to race it)

For the most part I used all Futaba radios, Novak electronics (mostly Futaba servo's though), Sanyo batteries, and Competition Electronic chargers. (I did have some Tekin speed controls and a Novak charger also).

I started racing on a carpet road course in the basement of a firehall. I have raced on dirt off-raod, dirt oval, carpet off-road, carpet oval, carpet road, asphalt road and asphalt oval. I enjoyed 4wd oval the best and 1/12 scale carpet road second. Everything else I raced cause I could

Ok, I think that is more information than you were looking for and all of my stuff is atleast 11 years old

wow muzik, youve got quite a collection. i remember when i was like 5 or 6, my dad used to take me racing with him. i forget were he raced but he raced indoor oval (thats all there was where we were stationed at the time). He put every option part he could find on it. ive got the old chain from before he put the kevlar belt on. its pretty cool.... im looking making a custom crawler with clod gearboxes
