Anyone into R/C?

Yeah I seen you can adjust it. For sure will be playing around with it. Naturally looking at mods already.

 

Might have to pick your brain @Micatom33 about RC. Really want to pick one up to mess around while on a hike or camping.

Btw sweet truck, I’ll keep an eye out for it around town.

 

I’m sure this question is asked all the time but what would be a good entry level crawler? On a budget but looking to spend around $300-400. Been on the Traxxas site and there are so many options. Never know what is actually necessary.

 

I have a wraith that might be up for sale very soon. Lol. I forgot how expensive this hobby is

 

Out of the box and ReadyToRun the Traxxas TRX-4 is killing it. Axial's lineup really needs tinkering to make work well. Carisma has a nice one but the reviews aren't plentiful since it's new. It's on backorder everywhere which can be a good or bad thing. Plus it's a Toyota: https://www.amainhobbies.com/carism...d-scaler-rtr-285mm-wheelbase-cis77768/p712166

You want a dedicated crawler, something that is more scale/realistic, a high speed basher, or something that can do all but not as well as a specifically dedicated rig?

 

Hmmm...

Yeah my bosses kid got into it and he was buying parts/breaking stuff all the time.

I’ll have to look into those. Basically all around would probably be best at first to see what I use it for and like. We have a ton of woods around that would be fun to crawl in.

 

Vaterra Ascender is a great option. The thing crawls great, has great steering range and comes with aluminum links. I just picked up the F100 yesterday. The LHS is throwing up some Boxing Day deals and I couldn’t refuse the offer. It’s a bind and drive, perfect if already have a Tx.

No Tx? Check out the Blazer or K5.

 

Busted out the Talion at Tepui Fest...had a great time powering around. @JLee picked up something-XMAXX I think? A Slash 4x4 would be a lot of fun too.

 

That's what I was hinting around towards. Something like a Slash or Losi Rock Rey may be more inline with horsing down some back woods trails than a walking speed crawler.

 

Anyone know anything about the lipo batteries? I am not driving my truck for a few days so I have the batteries charged on the store setting. Should I charge them when I drive again on balanced or just put them in my truck and drive?

 

I always balance charge them.

 

Same

 

The Boxing Day deal I couldn't resist.

 

Digging the pic. Gonna have to do a similar photo shoot with my two tacos

 

Cool to see someone put a bed on the Honcho!

 

o yeah my modding to my trx4 body is coming along nicely. Went from a suv look to a truck look. I cut the rear off and am working on fitting the rest. I hope to find some good supplies tomorrow to finish it up. I will post pics then.

 

Went out a buddies last night he broke out about half of his crap. Wanting to sell all of it off. Some one could get a hell of a deal.

 

There are bedsides for the Honcho, too. You can keep the tube work truggy rear end and add the sides.

The aftermarket for the SCX is endless

 

What is the orange stadium buggy thing?
