Anyone into R/C?

Not just you, I ordered some parts on thursday night, opted for the free usps shipping and still had it to my house on saturday.

 

Tower is good too, I've been happy with their shipping. Just their prices were a little higher than Amain on a few things

 

yeah, I also like Amain coupons, and the fact that you accumulate points with your purchases

 

Dam!!!

 

Tower has coupons too. I like Amain's point system as well

 

guys im major into rc heli's.

but this coming summer in ohio here there is a new rc truck/truggy/car track being built 2 miles from me.

i need to get a truck or truggy here soon.

i want durability and the mods needed to make it reliable.

money is not a factor here.

i want badass/reliable jumper ripper terrorizer of a truck/truggy.


in short what is the best bang for my buck.

i already know i want spektrum radio and reciever.

thanks i love this thread.

 

Not trying to be a thorn here, but we (you and I) are going in opposite directions. Trucks/truggies I'm scared are gonna be boring to you, maybe not. I've just started to fly a bit, and losing intrest in surface stuff daily.

 

Nitro or Electric?

1/8th or 1/10th

For 1/8th Truggies
If money is truly not an option then the Kyosho St-RR EVO (no mods needed)

or

TLR/Losi 8T 2.0
Mugen MBX6T

Engines:
My vote goes for Werks line

 

Hpi E-Firestorm. Those things are legendary for taking a beating.

 

i wont get as crazy as i am into heli's.

i just wanna show some guys up becasue i can fly heli's i should be able to rip a truck/truggy pretty well.

thanks guy's looking into these.

 

He flies e-helis, so I'm guessing he's a voltage guy. Could be wrong.

 

voltage guy yes.

i have a 1000watt power supply and 30amp max charger i can charge 4 6-cell 4000mah lipo's in 30 minutes.

Have you ever driven/raced a truck/truggie before?

 

If you want a 1/8th E-Truggy you are gonna have to convert a E-buggy or nitro truggy

no i have not.

but i never flew rc heli's in 3d until 6 months ago.

or heli's at all for that matter.

 

Probably the best thing to do is check out the local racing scene and see what everybody is driving. Some people may even let you try out their cars.

 

i want something that runs high voltage 22.2volt 4000mah+ 6S lipo's.
