R/c
 

So who's into R/C?

Here are a few pics of my Kyosho MP 7.5 Kanai Edition2. Top speed radar tested to 52 mph with the street tires(not on it in the pics)

The little truck is a Team Associated RC-18T. I put in a Mamba Brushless motor and speed control. 6800Kv I believe. Its tiny and it goes 41 mph. Its quite a thing to see that little bugger screaming along.

I also built both of those...many times over lol...**** happens!. I have a few others but they are in different states of "un-put togetherness"

No seriously I have like damn near 3 grand into it!

That's it?? that Kanai has about 4k in it alone between all the engines and suspension and tire set ups I have for it...lol. It may look all cool and all...that is the point really...ppl wanna race? it's usually bye bye..lol...I beat R/C on road cars with that Kanai. I show up and the dudes are like, "haha you gonna use that big heavy 1/8 scale off road buggy on this road course??" They understand after it woops most of them. Its a sickness.

The little RC-18...$1100 so far with all set ups. I could have a KB 2.2 twice now had i saved all the $$ I have spent on RC in the last few years! For that I feel kinda dumb. lol.

I think I want to get into it... I want to find a nice mustang body but all the cars I see are like race-buggies or riced out ugly ass things...I don't really know what's good but all I know is that I want a nitro powered one..anyone know a good place to look?

ill have to get a pic..but my friend has about 6 of them...1 he converted from a street R/C to an Offroad R/C....he has about 10k in upgrades alone (not including the price for the car(s) it self

i also have one..but i dont really use it...and it kinda beaten up...i like to slide into walls w/ it when i drifted it in compitions...well..that was the last race w/ really bad drift tires

Support your local hobby shop FTW!!! buy an on-road kit...the pre-built ones are crap, but if you have never built an R/C car get a simple beginner kit first. get the body for it online somewhere...usually listed as 200mm bodies. you'd be looking at a 1/10 scale kit then. If you havent really driven R/C cars before I suggest you get an electric one to start. the gas ones can be a PITA if you arent familiar with them. not to mention dangerous if you are a beginner driver. you run into someone with a 1/8 buggy at speed and you break their leg potentially.

I've driven one before, it was fun. :D

cool...yeah they are a lot of fun.

i wanted to start...but my mom told me to save for a REAL CAR...lol
im glad she stopped me before i spent soo much money i could have KBed my car twice!!!!.....lol

cool cars though....lol

yup, coulda KB'd it twice...but...my Kanai will beat your car to 50. :poke:

OK I just got back from taking some pics and put some pic of the stang in front to show that there mine lol

ok here is a pic of all of them

05 Mustang gtr body i have yet to paint and pic of my HPI rs4 3 project on top of the box of an awsome xray I used to have and sold it for 300bux

My baby, a HPI rs4 2 that has a 2speed trans that goes FAST as in like 70, I beat my friends nitro 4tech that are rated going 60mph out of the box so I'm guessing

Here are my radios and old azz futuba, a crapy hitec,the traxis one that caome with my Tmax, and a JR Racing xs3 that is synthisized so it pretty much takes place of my other controllers making them useless

oh and sorry for the huge craptastic pics lol

I have an HPI Nitro MT2, but I haven't been able to get it to run right since the day I got it.

i have the HPI RS4 its a great kit...i just havent been able to get it to run right since the day i flipped it....:bash:

haha my auto tech teacher turned infront of my rs4 2 with his r/c car and I prolly hit him going a good 50mph and completly totaled his car but only broke my lower control arm and somehow f'd up my clutch. foam bumpers ftw

i have a cen nitro, don't really know much about it. bought it used a couple times, and now i can't get the dam thing to run again, i think the glow plug on it is bad. anyways i have dodge viper body and a mercedes body for it. will post a pic up later, maybe.

I'm not into R/C at all.

Nope, not one bit.

Can't F'ing stand R/C cars and I completely, totally, absolutely HATE R/C Trucks.

unless i run over it....lol

Yeah, but you couldnt out manuver it to save your life. it turns and stops on a dime. :poke:

WTF you got against R/C man?

dude look at his name.....hes jokin...

my "what you got against R/C" was for RCTrucker7...I mean his name says RC TRUCKER....he must be joking. haha.


Hey RCTRUCKER7...wanna but an HPI Savage SS?? cheap! nothing wrong with it either....I got my Kanai and never touched the SS since.
