Anyone into R/C?

what are you using to cut the body. you're lines are a lot cleaner than mine. i just ahve an exacto knife, and a pair of budy cutting scisors with the curved tip. maybe i just need more practice.

and are you painting with an airbrush? i was talking with a friend, and am considering getting a small airbrush setup.

 

liquid mask and an exacto knife. Yeah i use an airbrush, this was the first body i ever painted for anyone lol.

 

turned out real nice. i need to start with the liquid mask. painters tape and an exacto jsut doesn't give quite as clean of a line.

 

Has anyone seen or have experience with the 1/8th scale MadBeast monster truck? Just because of the price, I'm thinking about getting one.

 

yeah liquid mask is very easy to work with. Just gotta be patient when cutting lol.

 

2nd drift practice. Trying to link my drifts together. Also ordered vanquish servo mount and pan hard kit for the wraith

 

which car is that? i don't have any street vehicles, but the 10th scale drift stuff looks really fun.

 

got the 1/10th scake 4wd buggy up and running for the track this weekend.

new chasis, new wheels and tires, new front shock tower, and rebuilt the shocks.

still need to install the waterproof reciever box i got for it, and then get rid of the hideous/poor fitting body. but those two things can wait till next week.

should also be getting my brother's old jato in the mail today, and starting the custom brushless conversion.

 

This is the hpi sprint 2 flux. Brushless model. 53mph with a 2s. With hpi rims and drift tires. It's a blast. More Fun when there are other vehicles.

 

Got my Wroncho build done, and were tearing up our patio so perfect crawl spot

 

Wroncho's are sweet! Did you make the stinger?

 

the friend i got the scx10 frame from made it, i wish it was up a little higher to match the body line but oh well

 

be it racing, crawling, or just fooling around in the back yard.....

thanks! happy with it so far? any other similar vehicles you'd got with if you did it over again?

great little crawling pile you have there!

 

I'd get the same one if I had to do it over again. I like having the extra power with the brushless motor. Most of the guys that I drift with have this model. I think one has the sprint 2 drift. Brushed motor and it came with drift tires. Wish they made a flux version with drift tires.. oh well... tires for this aren't bad at all.

 

what would be different with the flux version?

 

Once the snow/sleet froze over last night it was fun climbing the hills with the rock crawler.

 

Flux= brushless motor with touring tires
sport=brushed motor with touring tires
drift= brushed motor with drift tires

 

ah, gotcha. so you put in the brushless aftermarket. what KV system did you go with? I know how to gauge KV ratings for trucks pretty well, but never picked out motors for a car.

 

Not sure he changed the stock setup. The sprint 2 flux comes brushless with a 540 size 5700kv setup. Great rtr

 

ah, though he had the drift. been a long week
