Anyone into R/C?

What's that? I'm just getting back into the racing scene like after 15 years.

 

its the jimmy babcock racing league. its a series race that travels top all the biggest tracks in socal. theres like 8 rounds or something like that and lasts 8 months

 

Oh that's probably too much for me. I don't have time for that if i factor in work and my passion for motorcycles. I'll have to check out some races though.

Oh I'm probably going with the Airtronic MT4. With the tower discount it's going to be like $250 compared to the radiopost. I still need to get the electronics for the truck.

 

you dont have to do the whole serieis you can just to the one at sdrc. they usually have one there thats why i asked lol. its a good radio i was going to get that one but got a better deal on the radiopost so i went with that lol

 

If i can get the rp for 250 i think I'd get that. But considering everything else i need the mt4 makes more sense and is still a great radio

 

Got a new hull to build

Brand new, no hoels drilled in it at all, already has carbon fiber inlay, unsure if i wanna try to do a twin built or a single motor, id love to do a twin but not much room under the hatch.. Goal for this is 75mph

 

nice! y ou gonna get it painted like your dads?

 

Id like to, depends on how the build comes out, will be my first start from scratch build. If all goes well i found a guy who does awesome airbrush work, he said he would make me a awesome deal if i dont mind letting him do what he wants, and from what work iv seen i am more then willing to let him do whatever.

I can build the hull as a single for around $400 or build a twin for around $700, either way this will be a ongoing project as money allows.

 

nice. thats how my first slash was i got it as a roller and i eventually changed every single part out lol. I want to find a project that i can work on. it will be either a 1/8 drift car or a crawler. already have the platform for the drift car so we'll see lol

 

Got my slash to 71 on 4s, haha. On the water its much harder to get that kinda speed, im hoping to do it on 7s, esc's i plan on running can handle 8s tho. I wasnt gonna build a high dollar boat but a buddy needed some stuff i didnt need, ended up with the hull. Crawlers are awesome to build, so many ways to build one, its a forever changing project, plus you can use it anywhere!

 

i snapped my b4 in half the other day i was hitting a jump and lipo cut off mode turned on and i stuffed it on the landing and SNAP. looks like ill be working on rc cars this weeekend

 

does the extended chassis fit on it? if so you should put that on there lol

 

I'm looking into getting a Traxxas T-max or E-max. I don't know a lot about these things but my son got a son-uva-digger and I love it. So I was looking at getting a fast, Willie poppin truck. I really like the MAX's but I am unsure if I want nitro or elec? The e-max has the brushless motor and the t-max has the 3.3. Witch would be best to just play with? I don't race I just like jumping and wrecking? Thanks for any advice!

 

electric is easier to just get up and go. nitro requires more maintenance and has a higher cost of operation. if you want to just go out and have fun with it i recommend electric

 

Truer words have yet to be spoken...

 

I'm having a blast with my Stampede VXL 4x4. Wheelies on demand and waterproof electronics. Plus 1/2 the number of shocks to tune, and plenty of mods available. I'd highly recommend considering the Stampede.

 

x2, stampede is a awesome basher, parts fairly cheap and are available damn near anywhere, has to be one of the easiest r/c's to work on imo..

 

I will defiantly check one out. I'm going to try and stop by a hobby shop this week

 

And I just checked them out in Internet and they are nice and cheaper. Do they hold up well?

 

Stampedes are tough as hell, iv beat the crap out of mine and only broken a stock a-arm, replaced all 4 with rpm and havnt had a issue.
