Anyone into R/C?

I don't know if it's just me but I went through the first like... 14 pages of that thread and found nothing useful... It was just all of a sudden, "oh by the way, I put some Wraith axles under it!"

Kind of like, "oh! by the way, found a neat little scale hi-lift jack!"

 

Haahaahaahaa. True that

 

To be completely fair, that track is for Slash 4x4s . The jumps ideally would need to have a longer face to them or any 1/5th scale is going to lawn dart. As it is now, you have to treat them like a big speedbump; too fast and you endo, too slow and you high side them.

They handle much better than the 2WD 5Bs imo and I have spent a bunch of time into tuning my suspension. The 4wd is a heck of a lot more forgiving. Also... the guys that we drive with are RC noobs. Watching them race their Slashes is hilarious. A lot of the time they hit a jump and the car disappears behind a fence

 

I can totally understand that (face length on jumps), as both sets of wheels are not on the launch at the same time. But still raising ones ride height in the front would help quite a bit.

 

i gotta get this thing back out on the track.

 

How's it handle?

 

Flex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That is so badass!

I'm willing to bet it handles better than almost anything in this thread, even better than a SC10... and guess what, it's a Slash! haha

 

Wait but he used a rustler body right? from what i seen on his build thread.

 

Its a rustler tub with slash suspension and STRC conversion kit. The body is a kyosho 777 or something similar.

 

Correct, the rustler chassis is part of the LCG kit. It's called a backslash - A Slash converted into a 1/8 buggy.

it handles pretty good. I dont drive it that much though.

lol thanks man.

its a rustler chassis extended with the STRC lcg kit.

correct. strc lcg extended rustler chassis but its a jconcepts high flow body for an rc8

I based mine off of that but went with the lcg set up instead.

you can. just follow my build on urc.

 

I'll bet it don't handle as well as this. JConcepts J82 conversion, (a T4 Factory Team converted to a 1/8 scale 2wd buggy). The antenna is now missing, Spectrum DX3 replaced a Futaba PCM.

 

who knows what handles better lol im not a huge racer so i dont mind. but that looks more like 1/10th scale no?

 

Who cares?... And I bet there's an r/c out there that handles better than that. Not everyone is into racing. I was just pokin fun at DanglingFury, not tryin to start a "what handles better" debate.

My slash handles like shit and I still have fun with it! haha

 

Its not the car, it's the person behind the wheel!

 

You're right, my T4 handles better and is more forgiving.
