Anyone into R/C?

Looks like I see some new parts in there, maybe some RPM HD ball cups, and Lunsford turnbuckles?

 

That's my bud's losi mini 8ight. And yup, he's got all dat stuff. I do too.. Except my ball cups are purple. it was they had..

 

I want to see it in action!!!!

 

I'll try to get some video next time. It runs so smooth and quiet. I just don't like the outrageous power to weight ratio. Almost too much.

 

There's no such thing!!!

 

I recently got into RC Airplanes and Heli's. LiPo batteries have made these things incredibly light and cheap. It was suggested I buy the Hobby Zone Champ as a starter plane. It is a lightweight foam plane that comes ready to fly for $90 shipped - batteries and all. Took it out to a field for a maiden flight and found that it was incredibly easy to control. Had it for about 6 months and still try to fly every other day or so. I've lost it 2x and recovered both times almost 1/2 mile from my house. This is HIGHLY recommended if you have any interest in trying it out. Spare parts are readily available at most stores - including Amazon and ebay - and cheap too.





Some damage after flying away and getting stuck at the top of a tree...


Low and slow indoors...

Anyone on here run electric boats? A few friends are picking one up, thinking about doing the same.

 

I've got a Nitro one

 

tunnel or a deep v?

 

deep V, Its a Traxxas Nitro Vee that is in need of a restoration

 

Ah ok, thats cool, im looking around for a 30"ish cat, something to run in some lakes and ponds. If i was lookng for a river boat id be more into a deep v to handle the rougher water.

 

this is supposed to be a good boat

^^totally!

 

I wonder how good it would go over stuff that isn't water...

 

I am looking at the motley crew, its the same really, just with a 1800kv motor and a 60a esc, the mystic is also the same as the motley crew just about.

Im staying away from that, read wayy to many issues with it over heating, not enouh water pick up, dont handle well over 50.

youtube has tons of videos of it
