Things have slowed down in here...

I haven't played in a while... Getting bored with what I have...

 

Yep, tried to run a couple if packs Sunday, so hot and dry here, we actually couldn't get the track watered. Wet one end, by the time you got to the other the first would be dusty. Ran one pack said the hell with it, then just concentrated on drinking.

 

I havnt been running my cars much, ran the exo a few time this past weekend, mainly been running my boats till they die then go swimming for it

 

Ran 5 or 6 packs threw the wraith while camping. Found a couple dry creek beds full of rocks to clump on. Of course on pictures having to much fun driving

 

dusted off my crawler today...

only part of it that's Losi is the body... rest of the rig is a hodge podge of parts...

 

nice!

the only traxxas parts on my slash are the driveshafts lol

 

Never thought I'd say it but... I want a heli... something I can fly in my living room our outside.. 3 channels at least...

Recommendations?

 

Most indoor friendly helis don't do ANY wind outdoors. As a first indoor, look at a Blade MCX. It's a fun little four channel that's pretty easy to fly, while learning orientation.

 

That's what I got and LOVE it. And he is right it hates the out doors

 

What if I wanted something that would do better outdoors? I'm perfectly fine with a larger heli.

 

Never built an rc and have only had small some small2 newbright rc when I was a kid.
So Just completed wraith kit build here are some pictures let me know what you guys think
And any thought on good steering servo?

 

Take a look at a CX2, same thing in a larger package. YOU may be able to fly a fixed pitch/tail rotor bird, like a SR120, but if it's your very first (no stick time at all) I'd look into something that's coaxial.

 

so i accidently went through some water... and i think i fried my one DTX 4200 nimh batteries

 

also can any one point me in the direction for better power and such? sound i go lipo? or what. im running titan 550 motors

 

I know this thread is for experienced RC guys, but in my semi-retirement, I'm looking for another hobby and I've always had an interest in flying RC planes. Can any of offer a recommendation about what is an easy way to get started? Money is not an immediate limitation so I'd rather start with quality products. Is there a all-in-one package that allows me to get flying easily? I can upgrade as I build skills and knowledge. I'll be honest, our hobby shops in San Antonio are pathetic and have been of no real help. I'm a bit lost.

 

Yeah, lipo is the way to go, but you'll have to source a new charger as well. Lipos on a nimh or ni-cad charger equals very bad day.

 

I've gotten several little 2 channel air hogs heli's for christmas and I've been flying them around inside a little bit lately. I'm a really fast learner when it comes to anything except chinese arithmetic.
