Right the other way, bag on the darker green first, then shoot the yellow behind it. You always have to go from your darker colors first, then the lighter ones. Dark, will "eat" or consume lighter colors.

 

R/C, why yes I do...

 

Awesome, how do you launch that thing? Do you tow it up, or use a tubing launcher, or just throw it off a cliff (lol)?

 

are you a converted quadcopter guy now

 

badass!

this will give you the idea of launching, although the one in the movie is a bit bigger/heavier then mine pictured

That's cool, I've flown a couple of two-meter gliders, seems one was a Gentle Lady, the other was Goldberg IIRC. The guy who owned them had 100ft of surgical tubing tied to another 100ft of nylon line with a washer on the end, the other end was screwed into the ground with a dog auger, basically just slingshotted them into the air. Those in that first vid. was awesome fast.

 

ugh I want one of these

Again, I love the looks and scale realism of them. Do they offer that in a Factory Team kit?

 

eventually they will, you can use GT2 FT parts and some SC10FT parts as well

I'd love for them to come out with some quick release rear hubs for it, like they did on the GT2

 

Yeah, I just been over on RC10.com looks like a RTR only. I had an original RC10GT, (not the 2). It was a fun model, but just gravitated back to electric.

 

I'm tempted to save up for one (with a few upgrades), but I really wanna save up for a new Truggy

 

What are you leaning towards?

 

I really want the Truggy, mainly because thats what I know. I would like to be able to compete in the nitro offroad series here in Florida.

I probably won't be able to afford a new kit until the fall.

 

I'm sorry, I meant brand wise, I'd guessed the truggy would come before a SC truck. The couple of truggies I drove were way more forgiving, (Serpent and a Hot Bodies) than the 1/8 buggies, but both were set up goofy, well, to my driving style anyway. Which I found very strange, cause the X-Ray buggy I loved, (would change very little if I owned it) was owned by the same fellow. Again all this stuff is new to me. Going to the organized races tomorrow, guy wants me to race his 1/8 buggy, (X-Ray). Prolly just shoot some pics, I'll post if any are worth a flip.

 

Got my new parts installed, only going to run the protrac kit up front for now until I get the mip cvd kit for the rear. Its a solid 1/2" wider on each side, I will run it tomorrow when I get home from work and fine tune the steering and alignment, and provided I dont break anything ill try and snap some video.

 

^^^ Lookin nice.



And the SC10GT thingy... That truck is pretty much a RC10GT, right? I imagine it would be a totally different animal handling-wise than the electric SC10, yes?
