Anyone into R/C?

I thought so. Was hoping to move it quick but people keep just wanting to trade when it clearly says I want cash for my tacoma

 

What's the wraith look like? I just sold mine... Was all in all net worth of 1200 and I got a Go Pro hero 4 black

 

It's a poison spyder wraith with a mmp, 3100kv roc412, pitbulls, boggers, tsl xl's, locked up rock cutters with scale hardware, blue monkey ti high clearance links, locked up spools, hardened axle gears, steel tranny gears, steel 32p spur and pinion, VP scale knuckles, 3s lipo

 

I've been debating selling mine as well. But then I get it out one time and have a blast with it haha

 

I built it on a whim and still don't do much with it. May sell it too and start a rear link fund as well... Hmmmm

 

I've built mine again since you built yours haha. 3000kv pro 8 and tekin rx8 with a 600 Oz servo,

 

I ordered a 3650, 2100kV motor paired with a 60a programmable ESC for $41. It's sensorless and will be a test combo before spending the coin on a nice combo. The program card was another $10 and had decent options for what it is.

These are for an scx10 I'm wanting to make more of a basher than crawler out of now. I have a Wroncho with an 80t for crawling and just wanted something different aside from the micros and minis I already have.

 

My dad was getting tired of his truck getting weeds caught up in it and decided to make a skid plate. This is the prototype. He has also made his own servo horn, rigged some weights in the wheels that always stay on the bottom, and a few other things. I think he's hooked - he runs it nearly every day.

 

It sounds like it.

 

I do have a question. I'm currently running a Tekin 35t HD motor in my wraith. Wanted to try a 55t without breaking the bank, so I purchased a $10 RC4WD 55t non-rebuildable motor (I actually bought 3 of them - still cheaper than my Tekin). Anyone have experience with RC4WD motors? I figured for $10, I couldn't go wrong. Are they any good?

 

I put their 80t in my built Wroncho which is just ar60 axles on a Honcho chassis. So far it's held up but I've only got a few packs ran through it.

 

One of my buddies...

 

Before.

after.

Trimmed the foam as it was a bit stiff. Little tars are way sticky.

 

Picked up a cheap rc4wd 35t motor as well.
Is it still common practice to break in a new motor with a low volt battery in a glass of water?

 

Not sure but I had a novak 55t in my ax10 for about 3 years of competition.....never broke it in and I never had to rebuild it.....I beat the snot out of that truck

 

Got out and did some crawling today...my buddy is real into the RC thing. Check these out. I had a blast driving them. They crawl rocks better than my friends full size crawlers.
