Anyone into R/C?

Colin that looks like an awesome time. I want a short course truck next. Any suggestions?

 

Losi SCTE

 

Someone found time for that
I think I'll be stepping back from the rc hobby and truck mods for a bit reason being the last truck mods comes with even more changes (baby seat ).
I'll step back into the shadows and be your cars and mods.

 

Congrats man! I'm trying to just stay in the shadows aswell

 

Thanks and thanks

 

Well that's probably true, haha. But this house buying crap is putting things on hold and me and my gf are expecting a new addition mid September (just 10weeks in so were still in the first trimester). Hoping everything goes good this time around

 

You sure are picking up a lot of non motorized, yet still expensive "hobbies" lately

 

Yeah you got that right

 

Congrats! My son is due any day now! Second kid in less than two years!

 

I hate to go with the safe choice, but i'd say a 4x4 slash. If you're actually going to be competing, there are better trucks out there, but for a mixed track/bash short course, that's going to be a good one. if not for any other reason, you'll get more enjoyment out of it becuase wherever you go, there will be parts in stock. nothing worse than looking forward to a day at the track, and breaking a part on the first lap that you don't have a spare of, and then find out that the shop doesn't carry that model or make. you won't run into that with a slash. only thing to look out for is that there are like 6 different versions. friend of mine bought the ultimate. little more pricey, but it comes with a lot of aluminim replacements of the parts that typically wear out or break. also has the brushless and all already set up. VLX isn't the fastest, in the brushless world, but it's more than enough to keep up with/beat everyone else if you can out drive them.

 

I just picked up a slash 4x4 platinum roller off of ebay yesterday......got out of RC back in 2012 and looking to get something to run around in the yard and let the dog chase it

BTW me and my wife are expecting our first in July.....just found out today that its gonna be a Girl!!!

 

Turns out the E-Jato is efficient! went out to a big park/forest after work to play around. two 5200 mah batteries and a single 4000 mah, yielded just shy of 2 hours worth of run time. only two 5 minute breaks to swap batteries and do a quick visual inspection during that time.
