Anyone into R/C?

if you're wanting the scale look you really arent gonna be going fast cuz theyre all crawlers. some short course trucks look pretty scale and they go fast lol

 

fail lol
just love how they mad actual solid axles and links to make it looks os real

what kind of short course trucks

 

Some cool ideas for scale accessories

Nice cars, love the head/tail lights!

I'll have to put my buggy on hold for now but for a good thing, I just accepted a job offer and I'll have to relocate, good thing is I'll have two tracks within 5-10 minutes and like 2-3 within 30-40 minutes of me! So once I settle I'll deff. be running them more.

 

Congrats dude!

 

Thanks!!

I just remembered there is also a carpet one at a hobby shop near by. Right now my closest one is about 30 to 40 mins away so I'm glad to have these near by. The buggy should be here tomorrow or on Monday, I'll have to store it along with the T4.1 for now...

 

Been big into r/c cars for years and I'm planning on hitting the beach on a camping trip next week. I have the factory bed inverter in my taco but haven't really played with it much, any of you guys charging your toys with the factory power inverter?

Can I run it with the truck off or does it have to be running? Seems like such a waste of gas to have the truck running just to charge a battery.

And if it does charge with the truck off, any ideas about a safe time to charge before I have to worry about my truck battery giving up on me?

This is what Im using to charge a few lipo packs for a slash and mini slash...http://www.modelrectifier.com/search/product-view.asp?ID=11405

 

That charger uses DC power as well as AC. So run it from the truck's battery. Rather than waste electricity converting from DC->AC then AC->DC with the bed inverter.

 

Looking at 6 ch helis... What's a good step up from my sr120?

 

racing tomorrow!

 

Good luck!

 

thanks! im still a noob to racing so we'll see how it goes lol

 

My progress on making a scale rc of my Tacoma.

 

Nice ^^

I might be starting my build tomorrow, with a wraith : O

 

I am guessing that that is a micro trekker. What body are you using?

 

I believe hes using the stock body.

 

I never realized how similar it looked to a second gen.

 

Without the losi scheme it really does.


I got my wraith . The only problem is I got no idea how to use the charger it's a venom pro charger, I plug in the lipo and balance plug hold enter just turns on and timer starts going, when does it stop or do I gotta just watch it, once the fan is on it's it really on I just leave it alone?

 

What kind of money are you talking? This next step to a collective pitch heli is a big one. I would prolly suggest a Blade Mcp-X. It's a tad smaller than your 120, but has no problem in the wind (higher head speed). The reason I'd recommend this one is because it's tough, very durable if flown over grass. But this little guy can do full 3D stuff in the right hands. After you master that, move on to a 450 size, a T-Rex or a clone.

 

Did some work on my spartan today Should stay cooler and more stable at higher speeds.


Stock transom setup: (not my boat)
