Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

What do you run them on? I just bought a 1/12 budget basher and wanted to see what weird stuff I can do to it.

 

i had them on a traxxas 4tec 2.0 its a fun car and a very fast car but hitting cracks in the road is hard on it plus if i run the brushless setup i dont need the hard plastic wheels i can run the foams and slide around easily

 

Any good places to goof off around out here? I have a car I picked up on ebay years ago that needs some abuse.

 

idk where around here is lol i use to live out in oak grove and i would just go to the highschool for speed runs (until my 85mph buggy went boom.....) i havent messed with rc in awhile sadly i just kinda lost interest since i have no one to mess with them anymore...

 

Heh yeah, I was trying to get into it with a buddy where I used to live and then he had twins, and I moved.

Looks like there's a track over here off 40, but is currently closed because covid.

 

yup the place over on 40 highway is neat but thats a true racing place you need the proprer buggy to play on the indoor track the outdoor track i was able to take my slash out and play around on it but you have to pay to mess about

also you live out in blue springs?

 

Yeah thats kind of what I figured.


Yep. Off woods chapel

 

yup its pretty cheap thou and they have a lot of rc buggys and stuff in there and on road cars i originally bought my 4 tec to race buuut they canceled the 4tec only class so now its set to go very fast and sit on a shelf lol


well shit didnt know that lol im over near 7 highway behind where the old Walmart use to be

 

Huh, practically neighbors lol.

 

yup and josh and them aint far from me either lol


you ever gone to those food truck nights they hold over there on 7 and 40?

at the Orschelns

 

I have not, when do they usually do that?

 

it appears to be every saturday night 5-9pm but im not sure if its everyweekend

people normally come and show off cars as well so there is normally a car show ive seen it a lot since ive moved out here

 

Fast Lane is an RC track in Blue Springs. I'll be there tomorrow with my neighbor and his kid. But I'm just getting into the RC car world, I've only had drones and planes for the last 6 years.

I really want a good outdoor track on public land. There is a mountain bike pump track at Stocksdale Park in Liberty that would be killer if it were cleaned up and smoothed.

 

its a neat place man ive been out of rc for awhile now. if i get a second ill look to see if i have a photo of the rcs that i got.


i would like to get into racing but man its pricey lol

 

I'm not getting into racing. I read the classes and tech rules and that sort of highly limited minmaxing for one specific event isn't my thing. I'm just going to have a basher of anything worth having that China makes a cheap copy of.

I can print/mill/turn any parts I can't buy easily and I don't baby anything I own.

 

i would say traxxis is a good brand to get for a basher they can take a lot of abuse but so can arma

 

I'm doing a build of one of these right now https://www.banggood.com/Feiyue-FY0...21.html?rmmds=myorder&ID=223&cur_warehouse=CN

I've driven it for about 30 cycles of the stock size battery and I'm super happy with it. It's amazingly fun for the price. I'm putting in a massively oversized brushless system and some 3s batteries to see what breaks first and go from there. The Chinese stuff goes toe to toe with the big boys for the most part.

 

oooh a knock off twin hammers i actually have the real thing at home lol

 

i actually got rid of the cantilever setup and put a proper front end on mine but i never use the thing because its battery is so small it dies quick and its not really built to crawl its built to bounce and i dont have much of that around here to challenge it fully

 

There is an almost identical one by another company that's 1/10 scale. I'm eyeballing it, but I want a Rustler clone and a crawler first. I have a 1/18 on the way that I'm pumped about too lol
