Anyone into R/C?

I have a dilemma. I am dying to race my SC10 4x4, it is pretty much dialed now and a blast to drive. The local indoor track switched to oval for the weekends since the outdoor stuff is now open, but they will run offroad if enough people show up, which didn't happen last week. Well, the storms today and this evening mean that all the outdoor folks will show up tomorrow -- and I have to go sign the papers on my next Tacoma, which is sitting in the driveway but I don't officially own.

Dammit. Being pissed off and stoked at the same time is just not right. It's like that Canadian dude that they let into the beauty pageant.

 

Just found an article on the SC10GT in my spankin' new rccaraction magazine I got in the mail today. The front end and rear bumper appears to be the same, but that's about it.

 

Those trucks definitely fly through the air a lot better than mine does...

No torque, though!!

 

p

You just need to build a track in your backyard like I did. Problem solved.

 

How many hours of film did they edit to put that together? Should be very similar, (between the two) except the "gyro" is in different locations. How fresh are your shocks, vs. correct oil weight/piston size/spring rate. I feel pretty sure AE had EVERYTHING perfect, before they shot that commercial.

 

that wheelie at the end kinda disproves that statement...

 

Yea, you're probably right.. and I'm pretty sure almost all of the oil has leaked out of my rear shocks. Haven't had the time to rebuild them.

nu uh.

 

Are you still up?!?! Or waking up?!?!?






Morning btw

 

morning errbody! i want to go to sleep lol

 

Team Durango's DNX408 or DNX408T (both are gonna be the same price) or JQ Products The Car. The one good thing about 1/8th buggies is the tires are slightly cheaper than truggy tires.

Yep its an extended RC10GT chassis

there are plenty of nitro engines that can produce a good amount of torque. Remember that is a RTR engine, not the greatest one out there

 

Havent been on here in a while, my Blitz just sits in the garage collecting dust. Between my new job and my side job, I have no time to drive it anymore. I was planing on driving today but the weather is nasty out here.

 

Waking up. Had to be at work before the sun got there this morning... just got in.



Whutup ninjas?

 

Went to the real track (ran off and left camera, dumbass). Watched a couple of guys we know, hung out for several hours, said screw it, left and went and worked on our track. Added about three feet of width to the back stretch, moved the "berm" before the crossover. But most importantly, bought eight new 500 watt lights, then fooled with our old ones, presto, they all worked. So, if it will rain, we'll be back "Under the lights at Rob's Raceway" Here are a couple of crappy pics, you can't tell we did anything from the pics, but just shows the lighting... Sweet.

 

cleaned my slash today

 

Just like a real vehicle, they seem to run/drive better after a detail, dont they? Looks good.

 

yup! lol hopefully i can make it out to the track on monday and get some footage.

 

got a wheelie bar from a 4wd stampede to fit on my 4wd himoto mt10

 

Nice! Yeah, looks like you could use some rain. Hopefully that line of storms running from Mexico to Canada gets you a little at least.

 

Tried to run it today on 3s, was figuring it was going to break so I wanted to get a idea on how fast it was right away I zip tied a gps to it. Not even a minute into it, hooked right and went flipping and ths was the result:



I pulled the gps and it said 23, realized the shock cap just pulled off, I was able to screw it back on without oil and run it again, still only got 42. I had my dad use my phone, still have alot of tweeking to get it to run right and straight, anything more then half throttle it picks the wheels up and outta control it goes . You can see in the video the gps gets thrown out, it busted so I owe my dad a new one, haha
