Anyone into R/C?

Mess around some, we have a couple Axial scale crawlers, I put together a Traxxas Slash with a bug body for my grilfriend and I have an Associated SC10 that I converted from a T4, both brushelss and 2S Lipos (a couple 3S packs). They're a blast at the beach. I raced alot in the past but I don't really have time to run on a competative level anymore so I sold off my "race" stuff, FTSC10 and FTB4.

 

You should check out the classifieds over at rctech.net. There is some demand for the "vintage" race stuff, and as clean as that aluminum tub is you could probably make a few bucks off of that rig!

 

awesome thanks! ill check that out

 

I owned all Tamiya stuff, sold them all a while back. Had a 4x4 and the F1 car that was sick fast, and stuck to the asphalt like glue. Tough little bastard too, had a jeep run over it, and didn't do anything but bent the antenna.

 

I don't know if anybody watches any of the main Nitro races here but here is the A-Mains from the Alabama Manufactures Shootout

Is this anybody's truck on here, i got the pic off of LiveRC's website, if you have a nice trailer setup

 

Damn! All that for an rc car?!

 

you would be surprised on how serious people take competitive R/C racing

 

Thats crazy!

I just like to backyard bash lol.... well, when I had my r/c's anyway

 

I have a Revo and a Rustler that I used beat the crap out of.
Took the Revo to a MX track bout 2 years ago...Needs a starter motor and the engine needs to be broken down and cleaned...Don't have time
The rustler is in working order the last time I checked (over a year ago), Had an issue with it stalling when I gave it gas, haven't had time to tinker with it. We use to have a blast with em, wouldn't mind getting them back into working condition.
Anyway, here are a couple of pics of my rustler launching off a ramp I built.

 

I have a SC10 with about $500 in Mods hah <3 Also had a Nice Losi 8 2.0 rolling chassis build up with a Ninja engine... Also joined a league and was really good at it haha, my neighbor has like $14,000 in RC stuff... he got me into it

 

haha like me

 

do you follow any of the major races on LiveRC?

 

when i was younger i had an associated truck with matched battery's and the works i used to go to a track down in absecon nj to race it lol!

both me and my step brother had trucks lol i was the worst turn marshal ever

 

Completely rebuilding my nitro rustler. The .15 engine had a shattered piston bearing(I think that's what it is) so I had to spend 100$ to buy the 3.3. I didn't even abuse the thing. Oh well, I'm painting the shocks and getting a new cover to give it that black and red look.

 

we race down in alvin texas at our track vertigo raceways. look it up on youtube.

 

I got a Traxxas Revo 2.5, Jato 3.3, and Rustler VXL, but they all just sit around collecting dust. lol

 

I wish I had a brushless Rustler. I just put a 3.3 on my Nitro Rustler

I had to rebuild the whole damn thing, everything broke on it at one time.. I barely got to run it

 

Ya I love the rustler. Nitro is fun, but is a ton of maintenance and down time.

 

I was big into RC when I was younger. I have spent thousands over my life. Fun hobby but can be expensive. I have a few 1/8 nitro buggies but havent played with them in a few years. I almost bought one of the new short course truck but I dont have the time anymore to justify spending $500 on one
