Anyone into R/C?

Anyone have an RC car that will fit my pilot?

"Im kinda hooked on these thanks to TW and this thread so a buddy and me want to get 2 of these.
I don't know anything about them but they look fast well built and a blast, any comments or feedback (pros cons of this set up) from the vets here would be appreciated alot."

yeah those look awesome...i would prefer the truck though... hpi baja 5t...but they are the same vehicle just with a different body and a few other things...they are expensive...i have had nitros in the past and they are fun just require alot of work which is why i got rid of mine and went electric....it used to be that electrics didn't go as fast as nitros but now electrics go faster than nitros with the new brushless motors and lipo batteries....nitros or gas require tuning based on weather conditions which sux here in alabama since it's 30 degrees one day and 70 the next...lol...so you are constantly having to adjust it....i love the electrics cuz you just charge the batteries and go have fun...then afterwards you don't have to do anything but on nitros you have to do after run oil in the engine and clean the air filter and such...electrics are just alot easier...plus there is no hobby store near here so getting nitro gas i had to drive like an hr or so away to get it....so gas is fun just requires more "work"....i work enough at my job...don't need any more..lol

 

i think traxxas has novice or bashers in mind, people who just want to drive. Team Associated has the racer, performance products in mind. traxxas is the ford of this website, imo of course.

 

These are a few of mine.

 

wow you got a r/c for every type of racing sweet I love the sti makes me want to ditch the taco and get another one. whats the fastest one and how fast?

 

Fastest right now is the yellow 4wd tundra! Novak 5.5 hv motor and speed passion speed control. 4000mah 2s lipo! good for about 38mph. The STI is a spec car that we race in a class called rcgt. The class requires you to use a 17.5 brushless motor and lipo battery. We use a spec tire and these cars are good for about 32mph.

I like the little figure driving

 

mine...

 

I have a Kyosho Mp7.5 Kanai 1 that I used to race from like 03-05 maybe.
Also have an Rc10Gt, raced that from 00ish-03. Had a Rc10 T3 that i raced from 97-00. Also had a Rc10B3, and some various old cars I came upon.

I'll snag some pics tomorrow

 

anyone play with the traxxas 1/16 slash i sold my nitro smax and am thinking of getting this since is smaller and electric. theres not a lot of room here to really run a nitro. what your thoughts?

 

My buddy is hurting for money and offered to sell me his summit for 300

 

its ashame i dont have 300 to spare

 

Hey back off I am gonna go check it out tomorrow. Might have to splurge for this one

 

i put long travel on my slash...

woooooooo hoooooooooooo

 

lol go for it its worth it. ur safe any way i dont have much cash to spare thats y im looking at the 1/16 slash only about 170

 

Of course you did mike I was looking at getting a slash, but the 4wd ones. That thing looks bad ass man.

 

man, spend the extra money and get the VXL brushless version. the Velinium setup hauls some serious ass! i have a 1/16 VXL Revo and it's a blast.

 

Hpi savage all the way ! ! !
