Anyone into R/C?

Already stripped the 3000rpm motor in the trophy truck. motor runs, but gears gave up.
It's a bit fast, I ordered a 2000 and 1500rpm pair, to experiment and tame it down and maybe have the motor last longer. Didn't even get thru a whole battery with it. Putting the pin tires on it and doing carpet wheelies might have been too much for it.

 

Mine used to go camping.

 

Mine is 2.5... #2 due in March

 

Full stop! A decision has been made. I'm ordering the stubby kit.

 

Ah, you kids are in for the ride of your lives!

 

Shoot, mine got bored too quickly so he was frustrated

Least the tent camping was successful.

Man...two?!

One is more than enough for us

 

Haha yup, two and then done

 

I said I was gonna keep it stock...yet I just ordered front & rear axles along with new wheels for the SCX24

 

Decided I want to sell the RDX so I swapped the body, electronics and suspension to get it ready to sell:









The Chaser body that used to be on it is now retired and on the wall:



I ended up swapping all the good electronics and suspension into my converted TT-01 drift car:



Going to start on this next:

 

I love those Pandora Toyota bodies. Here's my Starlet collecting dust. It's on an MST RMX 2.0 chassis...



Very cool that you're running a converted TT-01. I thought I would've built one by now, but the only TT-0x chassis I've owned is my Euro Truck and I can't bring myself to turn it into anything else. The class was pretty big locally prior to Covid and I absolutely had a blast with it. But now this thing is collecting dust, too:

Awesome! The BBX is on my list of "want-to-builds," but probably won't happen for a while now. My wife got me a re-re Boomerang for Christmas so I'll be starting on that soon.

 

I ran Eurotruck for a while, too! That's the other body hanging on the wall next to the Chaser.

Love the color on the Starlet! I wish I had gone for a less vibrant color.

 

What are you asking for the rdx? Ive been considering another.

Also the tt0x conversions from MRC are pretty sweet. I have a 01 and an 02. The 02 I need to finish a body for and get a motor and esc for it

 

Speaking of Chasers, here's my VIP that I did in 2016 on a Sakura D3 chassis. Wish I kept that body (never cared for the D3, LOL).

 

I’m asking $500 shipped but would let it go for less to someone here.

$500 shipped, $450 local in the Bay Area OBO. Will come with a Super-G carrying case.


Also, the Tamiya conversions are just so fun. I’d love a BT-01 next but I’m also losing interest in drifting unfortunately.

 

Nice!! Sounds like it’s time for another! Lol

This one is probably my favorite picture of my Chaser:

 

Also decided to put some holes in a spare MST body and stuck it on my XV-02 as a beater:

 

Solid ask,
I don't need any upgrades or electronics and I'm looking for a blank slate. May just build another kit.

 

Look what showed up!

 

Thinking of going with a miniature comp build.

I'm set on an Injora IR60 body, and want to get a Meus LCG chassis along with their axles (keep hearing great things about them).

Being that it's aftermarket, but also SCX24-based, is there any reason why I shouldn't buy their skid plate? I ask in case there's a different/better setup I should look at as far as compatibility goes. I don't even know what motor I'd be buying.

 

I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't bought one yet.
