Anyone into R/C?

I feel like I'm right in the middle on this nitro vs. electric thing...

I love the torque and control with my brushless SC10, and the fact that, in most cases, I can wax my nitro friends' ass.

Then again, there's nothing quite like opening up that Jato on good flat stretch of pavement as it screams past and the tires have doubled in size.

I've always been a gear head so I'm gonna prefer the sound of nitro over the whurring of an electric motor.
But, as a "driving-enthusiast" I like the more precise control I get out of the electric trucks.

BUT the most fun I've had with R/C's is driving that tmaxx. It's just so big and ridiculous.

 

you guys are killing me with the single track stuff......shutup!!! ahhh!!!!! wnnaa RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thank you

USF is my alma mater

 

That is true. If it would only rain here more. But you better believe that whenever it does rain everyone is in their truck heading for the mountains. Dust sucks. Speaking of, we are supposed to get our first good rain of the year finally this weekend. About freakin time too.

 

That's strange, I found her to be quite enthusiastic

I wish I had a dirt bike.

 

dirtbikes are the best thing known to man.
Beer and Woman are a close second and third.

 

Prolly so, after thirty years together, it's just old hat now...

 

Damn I don't know what to do......

The RC10T4.1 looks sweet but the Losi 22T looks real good.. but if I get the 22T it would take me a while before getting it running tough.. The RTR is too expesive..

not sure which way to go, what do you guys think?

 

AE All day, errday.

 

AE. The only good thing ever came from Losi was the BK2.

Edit: And did they re release it or something?

 

ALL HAIL TEKIN!!!

got the Exo running with my new RX8 ESC.
at only 80% throttle limit this thing screams.

i am a very happy camper

 

Yeah and the first time I drove an rc car I was steering it and age 2. I'm 26 now. So I've been around then since I was still shitting my pants. You are more than a tad anal about your setup. I raced guys like how you're protraying yourself to be and I'm willing to venture that you place far too much energy into setup than into being a great driver. How many 13yo kids you know racing expert? When I did it I was the only kid racing.

I'll Clarify my 10th scale statement by saying I went to 10th scale gas knowing that electric was faster even at that time.

 

Castle. Nuff Said.

 

Meh...

Meh...

Better stuff out there. Tyco rc FTMFW!

 

Hey, fuck you.

 

Get in line

 

Oh damn this thread is getting heated!!, come on now there are better things to argue about!

Still haven't gone to the hobby shop, still waiting on than nudge that pulls you in one direction when you are 50/50 about things!

 

I just got a Losi 22 buggy, and I think it is very nicely designed. I had a hard time going Losi because I have always had AE buggies and trucks, but the 2WD AE offerings could use an update. I love my AE SC10 4x4, though, it is completely dialed.

But I think I should have got the B44 buggy, I like 4WD better.

 

^ 4wd is too easy to drive. I like driving something that takes skill.

 

Yeah, I admit it, I like it because it is easier to drive. But, it does still take skill to go fast, just a different style of driving.
