Anyone into R/C?

Redid the frame again
reversed the arch on the rear of the frame and lowered everything to sit just above the upper links. Dropped the overall height 2.5mm.
Added a hooptie to the front for motor bell protection.
The short, heavily weighted front end combined with long rear links makes for a lot of 3 wheel action, which is cool as shit. It also has the tendency to flop in places where added front wheel travel is apparently beneficial. Definitely outdoes the CC in some areas, but there are limits and driving technique is different. The CC still does better overall, almost boring to drive....






Old red dog approved. He loves watching this stuff, and has a tendency to rearrange the course by removing the logs.

Not sure what kind of body to print for it. Maybe a sports car....

 

You will like that one Greg......it is quitr capable and a nice little bit if kit for its size. Not to mention looking crazy cool and accurate.

 

It’s fun I got Little Rock garden in my backyard that is prefect size for it

 

My younger brother kinda got into RC stuff a while back. He picked up a few different ones, one was a Traxxas slash if I remember correctly. It's something he's kinda dabbled in and he bought me a cheaper little RC helicopter that works more like a little drone to mess with.

Anyway, we've both been casually interested but not delved in super hard. Well, his birthday is coming up and while we don't usually get each other gifts I saw this and decided to snag it for him. Sounds pretty cool, videos on youtube for it are pretty good. I'm hoping he likes it, and I'm sure his kids will.

Full disclosure, I did not scroll through all the pages here. Just too much, but wanted to ask if anyone else has a similar tank and if they have any tips or tricks for it?

 

Stop, you're hurting my bank account... I think if I keep the GX then I am obliged to pick up one of those in black
