Anyone into R/C?

Yea. He has too many ads up. (to pay for all of that useless traxxas junk)

 

I thought you had some Traxxas stuff.... I'm a little confused, although, it don't take much.

 

I got a Jato for next to nothing. It's nothing more than several pounds of shit.

 

Fixed that for you... Is that the one with the "F1" type shock layout designed by a community college design major dropout?

 

HA, no. They're the same shocks that come on the Revo but they're mounted in the traditional upright manner. It's a lot of fun to drive when it's not broken and I've got it dialed in right. Turns like shit, though.

 

Haahaahaahaa. And I thought it was my shit too

 

OK, Revo, was what I was thinking about, I can't keep up with the "flavor of the month club" they've got going on over there. I thunk there stuff was "guaranteed for life".

 

I don't even know, dude. This Jato will be the last Traxxas product I own.

 

What's the latest on the track? Bout time for the weeds to start popping up, well, at least down here they are. Any new shots? How about your buds?

 

I think I added a few pics to the thread. Going to help with my buds track tomorrow. They're getting pretty seruous with it. Keep an eye on Live for some pics.

 

Not really sure what "seruous" means, but I'll keep an eye out. Keep me posted. I kinda got my feelings hurt tonight. My wife and I had dinner with the guy that owns the property our track in on, (I have mentioned that it has went to hell over winter). I asked when are we gonna get the track in shape, to which he replies, they (his family) are fixing to build a new building on the spot our track is setting on. It is/was in an industrial park. There is room at a different spot, but it will be all from scratch. He has the means to just move all our dirt the fifty yards or so. But our lights, driverstand and sprinklers will also have to be moved... Fuuuuccckkk meeee...

 

all this traxxas hate makes me sad lol jk i know stock vs stock traxxas stuff isnt very good but I've had good luck with mine. Cant say there are many traxxas parts on it though... lol

 

No, for what most people do with them, the're perfect. I am, or was at least was, a racer. And true racers the're not, along with HPI, Duratrax and a couple of others. They do bring people into the hobby, which is good for all involoved.

 

Yeah I havent been into it very long but It was my Slash that got me into the hobby. Now I just went a little crazy lol. I have built my slash from the ground up and I know people might not like that I had to put so much work into it to make it handle well, but for me it was a learning experience. For me thats half of the fun, and I like surprising people when they find out its a Traxxas .

It's kinda like my Tacoma, the look on the other persons face after they lose a race to a truck is priceless haha.

 

I fully understand, as a rule, I don't won't anything that's like everybody elses'. And I love to pittle (is that a word) with stuff.

 

Exactly. I like to have different things too, that's why my next rc will be a Team C TS4 4x4 Short course truck.

First off, yes it is a chinese brand truck, but I am fully committed to buying it because of the person selling it.

Ck Hobby is selling these team C and Himoto trucks. They are from Central Kentucky and are hands down the most helpful people I have ever dealt with since I have been interested in this Hobby. The owner Mike is a great guy and has never steered me wrong. He even helps me out even with stuff that I didnt buy from him.

PLUS it doesnt hurt that these Team C trucks have been winning ROAR races left and right lol.

 

I'm not up on these, have a link? You'd think Dangling would be all over these, (his avi says Kentucky). Hell, he should hook us up....

 

here are some pictures of it.

there isnt much info out because it hasnt been released yet. Once it is I will definitely be picking one up.

they will be sold as a kit.

















heres some stuff from the 2012 toy fair

Looks good, but where is the shaft driving the rear diff? Is it above or below the battery?

 

That is something that has me very confused lol. I'm ASSUMING it's above the battery. I think I read somewhere that it has a removable electronics tray that you can pull out for easy cleaning. Seems like a cool feature.
