Anyone into R/C?

My local hobby shop has Zippy flight max 5000mAh 30c's for $27. You can get them online for $20 if you can find them in stock. I have 2 and so far they seem to be working fine. For the price if they crap out, oh well. Online reviews seem to be good also.

 

What radio do you have now? Cant you just use it and get a new rx? If you realy want a new one i would suggest a spektrum dx3 for $99 and you can use it for up to 10 different vehicles. I should have done this but opted for the Futaba 3 channel to save $40 bucks.

 

The truggy conversion has begun! Only downside is that I'm in the airport right now, on my way to Omaha for business....... Pile of brand new parts just sitting on the table at home is killing me

 

I thought you only had crawlers? o.0

 

Ah, nice! 10th or 8th scale buggy?

 

You got a bruiser :O

 

I buried my scx10 in mud and then ran it through a running stream over the tires...mine looks fine. ..freshwater

 

Trying to get a local group of people together locally to go crawl and run trails. This is a link to a link to a page i created so any of you guys on FB i could use some likes.

 

I offer a caring and loving home to any and all unwanted rc cars and trucks new or old or very old in any condition

But really lmk

 

If y'all ever make it down towards Houston, let me know. I also bring my trucks to all of the wheeling meets. Typically 2-4 hours north of Houston.

 

It's seized
J/k hope it works it would suck to spend so much to replace it

 

I've been lurking in here for just a little. I have an e-revo pretty much bone stock with a nitro jato on the way. I had one a few years ago but I was in a bind for cash and sold it. Time for a relapse. Not as nice as some of these other rigs though. Anyone still active in this thread a nitro junkie?

 

Did the 1/5 conversion on my 1/8 max stone, still gotta mount the body but here it is compared to my scx10.

 

Nice! All you really need for that is the spare frame plates, some crossmembers, and longer wires? I remember watching the sparks video on that back when I was ordering my mad crawler.

 

Pretty much, it takes frame plates, cross members, some screw's, and 2 turnbuckles. No need to extend wires the way I did it, if I left the links in the stock location I would have needed to but I wanted the clearance.

 

I usually get things from rpp in 2-3 days, they have awesome customer service so hit them up.




I did some work on the wraith tonight, got the gmade piggybacks built up and put on, replaced all the links with ti, ckrc lowering kit and built and installed the new wheels/tires. Still need to trim the body but not in the mood to finish it tonight, love its stance now tho.

 

Towards the front and having the piggybacks I could only use the top center hole.

 

I dropped a little loot on the wraith this week. Vanquish 10 piece link set, ckrc lowering kit. Mamba max pro, axial steering horn, Robinson racing clutch, 12/56 32p metal spur gear, tekin redline 13.5, lipo , lipo charger, hd driveshafts, I'm sure i forgot something. Free fast back mod and battery to the front. Now i just have to wait for everything tho come in

 

For now keeping them. Need to buy some universals but eventually want some vanquish. Move some parts to the honcho build. Fucking shit is addicting. Already looking for my next rc.. any suggestions
