Anyone into R/C?

I may play around a bit with those towers. The chassis allows for more compression with the portals not hitting the panhard than the axial chassis did. Got it soldered last night and tuned with castle link this morning. I'm debating on reusing a cheapo RTR servo for dig or grabbing a cheap hitec

 

What I have been building lately.. started out as a Sport Builders Kit.. way past that now..

 

I got my Inferno mostly sorted out in terms of the bent chassis. I'm waiting for order to come in, new wheels, chassis protector, tires etc

 

I used to fly RC planes, mostly 1/5 and 1/4 scale biplanes and warbirds

 

Anyone have a recommendation for a RC forum to check out?

 

What type of rc

 

Trying to get back into rc cars after a really long break and selling off all my cars. What rtr truck is the best bang for the buck?

 

What do you wanna do with it? Pic of the VW?

 

Just play around the yard with it, hopefully get my son into it.

I gotta look on my comp later for pics. It’s in pieces right now. Hopefully by the time my son is 16, it’ll be finished and his first car.

 

Look the Horizon Hobby website. They’ve got a good range of prices and uses. They break it down pretty good that way also. Get an idea of what you are looking to pay online. Then see what your local hobby shops have to offer. If it’s just bashing around the yard, likely a Traxxas product. Look for parts availability locally for whatever you choose. Sucks having to wait days/weeks on parts.

I’ve got a mk4 GLI auto to get going for my oldest. Mines the 6speed though.

 

Thanks for the info.

I started off with a mk3 gti vr6, now I have a 62 bug that we’re rebuilding.

 

www.rcuniverse.com

They have sections for every type of rc.

 

Yep. RCGroups.com is another. Something for everybody and they have a lot of expats also.

RCCrawler.com if you want to crawl.

 

Thanks fellas

 

Keep us updated.

 

I think I'm going to turn my spare Redcat chassis into "John".

 

I've been taking my new rc out a lot. It's a cool little truck!

Here’s a few current pics. Got some work done to the UMG, i ran it once so far, did pretty well. And a more recent Honcho picture, it’s about ready to get tore down and rebuilt.

 

Waiting on shapeways to print and send me a grill and some lenses as well as a hood skeleton. This vs410 chassis is amazingly rigid. I need to figure out mounting and bumpers for it but it's coming along now
