Anyone into R/C?

gotta do what you can to beat your buddies around the track

 

Which RC10 do you have. after getting this one i've been researching the history of them. pretty cool stuff.

Get one!

How's the R1 coming?

 

ORLY?

well get the 1/10 ready too! i'll be bringing a couple of mine.

 

Michael, those chasis protectors just stick on the bottom? how long do they hold up on a track?

 

Yeah they're just printed on adhesive 3m sheets. It depends on the type of surface for the track. Indoor clay they hold up great but they'll get worn down if it's abrasive outdoor dirt.

 

Nice. post up when you get them on. gonna make those low angle jump photos look good

 

Built up the shocks last night. 3 different rate piston sets were supplied per pair. without any kind of baseline, i just went with the middle "valving". Brown santa should be dropping off the springs today.



Also discovered that the local shop stocks these bad boys saved my a few bucks on shipping, and aparently a good months worth of wait time.

 

no kidding. got a damn $20 bill stuffed into each of those shocks

 

seeing this thread pop up is giving me the RC bug again

 

I think i see a Wraith in my future..or maybe a brushless SC10

 

that looks so badass with the Honcho body


Heres my old SCX10 with big brother

 

yeah i'll never be doing that again lol fuck mud i'm over it

 

Which pistons did you go with?

 

the middle ones. came with three sizes. i don't have the spec sheet on me, so i don't know what size the holes are.

edit: scratch that. it came with 5 different sizes. it was the lower spring cup that had three different sizes. regardless, i went with the middle option.

 

Spent all day at Mike's today (Gulf Coast Raceway). One hell of a track Truggy was having some differential issues, but the other 3 trucks ran great all day. the buggy needs a little adjustment, but nothing major. Can't wait to go back.

unfortunately no other pictures. was too busy driving

 

When you coming to MD Colin? I need some motivation to get my r/c's back running..

 

well, i'm flying up in 3 weeks for some family stuff and to go sign the final documents on the house, but after that, i'm not really sure. was supposed to be may, but now it's pushed back 2+ months......

but i'm sure if you started now, you have enough rc projects to last you till Christmas

 

I hear you, my closing date was the April 3rd then it got pushed to the 8th, now its the 11th. I cant extend it anymore, my interest rate lock in is up after the 11th so this needs to happen, I been ready for weeks, just waiting on the seller to turn the gas and water back on..

Tho that is true, I have my hands full with my other hobbies at the moment so getting back into r/c's just to run by myself isn't high on my list. My 1:1 car blew a hole in the head this past Thursday so that may turn out to be costly, cant be spending money on r/c projects just yet.

 

Yeah, I saw the picture of it on the flat bed

We're set to close on the 25th

Sarah doesn't enjoy driving cars around with you? I'm working on Getting Alexis into it. thinking the new buggy will be good for her to start out driving. it's light enough that it won't break my leg when she runs it into me....
