Anyone into R/C?

I've been drooling over a Factory Five Daytona Coupe with the new Coyote engine

 

yea.. saw those on powerblock the other day.


This thread has gone way off topic..


i doubt anyone gives a shit, though..

 

i know i don't

 

its TW every thread is bound to go off topic

 

Just buncha doods dickin around in the garage, more or less.

 

so all of my parts for my T-Maxx should be here by next week. I'll finally be able to finish this project after like 5 years lol

 

haha. I couldn't imagine moving that slow. This tmaxx i'm "refreshing" for a friend has been a bit of a headache. It's sort of a pain to get the gear mesh right on the tmaxx platform. Maybe it's just cause i'm used to electric. It landed on it's top, cut off real hard. Ran it again and it stripped the gear. Woops! Also needs a new ez start harness and one way bearing.

Same dude's 3.3 Jato was cake, though. More or less started right up. Just needed new batteries.


Waiting on SC10 idler gear. Also need to re-shim the diff even tighter. And my 2.5 jato isn't pulling fuel for some reason. I can put it directly in the carb and it'll run through that but the HSN is janked up.

 

I did get out of the hobby due to school getting in the way

with your 2.5 check the fuel line, exhaust pressure to make sure air is not getting in. Is the needle really lose or does it not want to move at all

 

Everything is clean. I think the black collar that goes over the needle is lined up right.

 

Have you taken it out to make sure there is no damage?

does it idle rough? Have you ever adjusted the low speed needle?

 

Ordered the RC10T4.1 from the hobby shop today, should get it this week!

 

sweet

 

You racing or bashing?

 

Your gonna love it. Which version, kit, (Factory Team) or RTR? If kit, what electrics are you dropping in it?

 

It Came. Torque master pro 35t!!! Woohoo

 

.

 

t4daddy, went with RTR as I didn't want to spend much right now, will go soon with a lipo battery, the rest of it I will upgrade as I find I need to, once I get it I'll hit the track and play with suspension settings, add weights and change tires if needed.

As I understand the electronics it comes with motor/esc are Reedy, I don't have much info on servo, hope the servo is fast/strong enough for now.

 

brushless? lipo batts will make that brushless really come to life

 

yes brushless

Yeah I'll be getting lipo soon (2-3 weeks), need to get up to date on that before making any purchase. Recommendations are welcomed! Keep in mind I don't want to spend too much.
