Anyone into R/C?

I'm going to start saving up for a new one when Team Durango releases their truggy kit.

I've already picked out my build kit

Werks engine and pipe
Savöx servos
Proline wheels and tires
Airtonics MX-3X
Ofna truggy starter box

 

If you are on a budget a good truggy is the Hot Bodies D8T its $335 for the kit, also a good budget friendly engine line is Werks. The B2 Buggy/Truggy engine is $199 and is a hell of a deal

EDIT: this is also a good deal

What about the RC8T? I've had good luck with my SC10, and just like team associated stuff in general. Yes, it's quite a lot more expensive but I'm probably not gonna start seriously looking until early summer.

 

I love my 2WD Slash! I just got the Proline Protrax long-arm kit for it and installed it this weekend and it sit's so wide now and handles so much better.

 

I haven't even touched my Slash in about 2 weeks. Getting kinda bored with it.

 

Where did you purchase that kit

 

Its old, I'd expect a redesign by AE on their entire 1/8th line by next winter after the 1/8th Worlds are over.

Losi is the same way, they are behind in the times and that is apparent by their recent hiring of Steve O'donnell.

The D8T may get a redesign as well

Serpent's 811T is a good truggy as well, Durango's truggy is gonna be good. Mugen's is a good platform. Xray is apparently a good truggy as well

 

the 2wd Slash kit has been out for a while

 

Lol, youz guyz.

If you wanted an SC truck that would handle you could've just bought an SC10!

 

go Nitro

 

No, I would have bought a Blitz.

 

Na, I have friends with Nitro, I just drive theirs and let them deal with all the maint. I'm just getting bored with the whole hobby in general.

Some never learn.

 

It will come back to ya. It always seems to for me anyway, and I'm 39. Guess I still enjoy toys........

 

Get you a plane. To me, it's like starting all over. Now, I've been bit by the heli bug, I've got five, and just ordered another.

 

The Proline Protrax kit just came out a bit ago. before you had to buy all parts separately which could be very costly. I got this new kit at our local hobby shop for $39.99. when i was looking for it before they didnt have a all in one kit and it was gonna cost close to $100 for everything but that was including extended shocks.

 

I never said my Slash didnt handle good, just said that it handles so much better now then before. As for the SC10, Played with those when i was a kid Love my slash, but next is a Blitz for sure.

 

Im 39 also and i love my toys, but so do my kids as well. I will be a big kid forever! Shit i didnt get into RC seriously until two years ago. when i was a kid it was just a i want thing now its fricken fun as hell

 

I also have a LOSI Mini dezert truck which kicks ass and hauls some serious ass. Just found out that they have a brushless upgrade for it which is just fricking insane
