Anyone into R/C?

to be fair, you also have a lot more room to work with on the 8th scales.

what body is that. i was having one hell of a time tracking down 10th scale truggy bodies.

 

sold my SCX10 yesterday anyone in need of a nice Futaba 3PM-x transmitter/reciever?

 

Just didn't have time for it anymore, it was being neglected and i needs the monies. I know i'll miss it and probably buy another one in a year lol

 

successful lunch break.

got the same motor and esc that i run in the 1/10 truggy. CC sidewinder 2. fully waterproof, 3800 kv, 3s max (i only run 2s)

 

my buggy is all cleaned up now lol

 

lol my 10th scales are alot cleaner now too



that body was off of an ofna hyper 10tt its the size of a stadium truck body though so wont fit on short course trucks.

 

longer wheelbase certainly helps keep it clean. that's the hardeset part of this jato conversion. such a tiny chasis (both short and narrow), that things are going to be more cluttered than i'd like.

 

I loved the RC10. Hope you are able to get yours up quick. That sucks that it was destroyed. I want to get a roller and build another one. the Rival is a whole other animal but I think it will be good fun.

 

Michael, do you have any suggestions on a track tire for the front of a 2wd? first 2wd truck i've owned, so i'm at zero, as far as research and experience goes.

track i run at most is medium to hard pack dirt (not much clay in it), and typically very dry. it is, however, well maintained and smooth. need it for a 2.8 wheel. looking for grip, over longevity, since it's for the track. i have the stock set i can use for playing around.

 

Just a heads up, aint no tracks within a hour or so from lusby md.

 

yeah, i looked around online and in person when i was there. looking at a couple of houses with no grass in the back yard. if i get one of those, you can damn well bet that i'm building a track!

you know of any in the NoVa/dc area? i'm sure i'll be spending a lot of weekends up that way with my or the fiance's parents.

 

Not too sure about nova but heres the ones I know of in MD:

Tina's trains and hobbies in southern MD
Middle river hobbies in Baltimore MD
The Track in Gaithersburg MD (awesome place)

 

well this is better than nothing. guessing that Tina's will be the closest, and I go mountain biking in Gaithersburg, so a little detour may be in order.

the other option is that some of the houses i'm looking at have unfinished basements. open floor plan, with 700+ square feet of nothing. gotta see how Alexis feels about it, but that's just screaming indoor carpet track to me

 

Tinas has a outdoor dirt oval, 1/10 track and a sorry excuse for a crawler course, nothing is too good there but its something. The track and middle river have awesome setups.


Well if you get permission to do a carpet track going ill be more the happy to lend a hand, haha.
