Anyone into R/C?

I may do that. Right now all I want is some time off work so I can go play with what I've got!

 

They are kinda spendy, I think you can find them for way less, these were just the first I seen.

I got my bandit today, didnt bother trying to see if it ran, just ripped it all apart. Cleaned eveyrthing and put the vxl system out of my slash into it and the rx out my slash, will give it a run tomorrow, got my 45c 5800mah lipo charging now.

 

motor finally got here, box smashed up but luckily the motor came in a hard case so it was fine even though usps played football with the box. Weather appears to be clearing up! so I hope next week I can run it.

 

Not trying to be an ass here, but I kinda find it strange for you to bitch about $8.00 shipping, out of country, delivered in basically two weeks....

 

My "bitching" is because I don't get why they charge $8 for parcel, when that particular package could be shipped priority mail or first class mail for less than that, even worse as I said before, quoting $37 for priority mail for shipping a 7oz motor. It got here in almost 3 weeks as it was shipped on April 30th. PR is considered domestic when shipping through USPS.

I shipped littledvl boat in a oversized box usps priotiy mail insured for ~$20....

 

regardless of whether its costs 8 dollars or 100 dollars to ship an item you still dont want to get a damaged package in the mail. am i right?

id bitch about it too lol.

you wouldnt want a pizza all piled up in the box just cuz they delivered it in 5 minutes right?

 

Gens Ace, yah? You'll get hella runtime outta that. Especially in that little bandit. For some reason, though my 50C 5000mah Gens Ace lasts longer in my truggy...

 

I'd be raisin hell!

 

hmmm... I wonder if I can run T4 arms on my truck with longer shocks, for more travel and wider stance.... Kind of make it a prerunner type deal. I busted a front a-arm right before I got my truggy. Still haven't fixed it.

 

Yeah i got one already, i get about 25min of runtime in my exo with it running full throttle , i like being able to change it from deans to traxxas in seconds. Having 2 also means i can either run my cars longer or i can use both in my boat in get more runtime.

 

talking about shipping, did anyone read the usps news that the won't be handling any packages internationally that carry lithium batteries or lithium equipped items?

I noticed that the other day on A-main's site

 

That article is very confusing, the first sentence says any "device" with lithium batteries installed, not the batteries themselves. Then later it mentions the batteries, then again the phrase with batteries "properly installed" appears. Of course I don't give much credit to any media outlets these days.

 

Yup, next month USPS should have an updated mail manual online, just checked and they still haven't updated it, it should be more clear there, but from the list of revisions that will be included in that update it says:

 

sooooo... Slash 4x4 or a Crawler? I cant decide. I have been wanting another RC for years now. I always find something else to spend my money on tho. lol I think im gonna stick to it this time... but cant decide on which one. I love the slash, but love the details of the crawlers like the Wraith, Axials, Tamiyas, etc.

any input guys? also.. where can you get all the cool little accesories and miniatures. I loved my old model train sets and building up the towns and stuff. would be cool to add that sort of detail to an RC truck. like lights on a Slash, real fans, etc.

 

I like to go fast

 

lol. thats what im leaning towards too.
