Lol I been wanting an E Revo a lot lately..

 

Nate got me thinking of the rcs I've had. So here goes..

Tamiya Hornet
Tamiya AMG DTM TA02
Tamiya King Cab
Traxxas Jato 3.3
Traxxas Nitro 4tec 3.3
Traxxas Revo 3.3
HPI E10 drifter
Team Associated NTC3
Team Associated Monster GT 8.0
HPI Savage XL 5.9
Team Associated RC8T truggy
Kyosho Inferno Buggy
Team Associated SC8 Mamba Monster conversion
2x Team Associated SC8.2 e
Team Associated RC10 GT2
Team Associated SC10 4x4
Axial scx10 Honcho
Team Associated SC10 RS TRD
Axial Wraith
Axial Scx10 Honcho (New Body)
Axial SCX10 Recon G6
GCM Cross Canyon custom crawler

I think that's all of them. Well, all that I can remember.

 

Get a real truggy. Redoing the diffs in the revo takes a couple hours. I wanted one because of the innovative design, then regretted it after.

My associated truggy was nearly bulletproof. Other than an A arm, all that broke was a plastic bulkhead brace. Once that was replaced, nothing else broke.

Losi ones were good too. Mugen would snap arms all day long...

 

Oh damn! Nice spread. How did you like the E10? I thought about getting one but heard they had diff problems.

I think I have had, in order;

99' MRC Vortex Speed Buggy RTR 19 turn
00' Kyosho USA-1 kit twin 17 turn
01' HPI RS4 Sprint 2 kit 6 turn!
02' HPI Nitro Rush RTR .15 dropped to .12
05' Tamiya Mitsubishi Pajero Sport RTR 27 turn
05' HPI Nitro Savage SS kit .25 (now 1800kv 4s brushless)
05' Kyosho 1/24 Toyota Land Crusier
06' HPI Micro RS4 M3 kit (now drift spec)
06' Tamiya TLT-1 kit stretched to a custom crawler dual locked 17 turn
06' Tamiya TLT-1 kit
07' Tamiya TL-01 Porsche scaler
07' HPI E-Firsstorm 10T RTR (now 3600kv 2s brushless)
08' Tamiya TB-01 Subaru WRX kit (home made drifter)

And that brings us to the current times. 2014 so I guess it's been 15 years? I kinda like that I still love my savage and have fun with it 9 years later origional purchase price was ~$450, probably about $1,200 in it total now. That's only $134 a year!

I also and all of the RadioShack xmods for the first 7 years they made them. The Associated's were the TC3 and the RC10GT but they weren't really mine. Just got to use them.

 

I didn't care for it, it was just cheap and had a Lamborghini body. So much play in the steering. Can't ask too much from a rtr...

Forgot to add a Tamiya coppermix silvia to my list. That tamiya was better than that hpi.

Imagine if all the rc $$$ were invested into real car parts!
As for sunday, LMK.

 

I think you guys will be surprised with Hobbietat. Huge inventory on parts and kits. Planes and helis too. and tons of fishing gear. I like to think their prices are similar to online plus shipping. And yeah, great shave ice and plate lunches next door.

 

Is that the one on 10th ave? Have not been there since 2002 lol

 

Yes

 

If I would like to buy another Lipo tomorrow (locally) where should I go for decent prices? My nephew (12yr) called me yesterday and wanted me to bring my slash to a family get together. The one Lipo I have runs great but last about 20-25 minutes..

If Traxxas is a "good starter" I shouldn't have gotten started!!! lol..

That's why I was hoping that Sandy Flemings would be a decent place to shop. A lot closer to me, and I almost never go into town anymore unless I really have a reason. I'll try and check out hobby company especially if they are in Waimalu..

 

I didn't know still had hobby company after they closed pearlridge store.

 

Tgsts where I got my slash from. And parts from yesterday. Great place. A lot of bodies too

 

Where is this????

 

then sunday after we do the BHLM day we should all hop into one truck and go... and seeing as mine may be the only one with headlights making it road worthy we can take mine. i can kill a few birds with one bullet so to speak

 

Oooh, the pork belly. It like a heart attack in a bowl, but so good!

 

10th street, kiamuki.

closed on sunday

 

damn oh well.... monday then

 

Did u try the pork bowl with the egg in the middle? Gotta see doctor after u eat that.

 

That's the one!
I set aside most of the fat, but my co worker smashes it all up with his fork as pounds the whole bowl. And he's the one with a 6 pack, wth..

 

I'm probably gonna make a run over to Hobbytat after work.. Will suck sitting in traffic on the way back but guess that's how it goes..

 

4wp called.

$77 D29XL Leaf Spring

D29XL came in. Might want to give them a call. Picking my stuff up probably around 4:00.
