Anyone into R/C?

That looks really good. I'm debating Mad Maxing mine. Go on Crackbook and find the Axial group. There's a bunch of amazingly done ones.

 

saw that fj on hardcore crawlers and scalers. looks awesome

 

Thanks, I got the fender flares in yesterday. Probably get them on this weekend. Trying mimic this 1:1 I found....

 

Mounted some DGI racing rims on the Baja.

 

Painted up a ProLine Toyota Tundra body for my Traxxas Slash 4x4.(they didnt have a Taco body!) I ran outta rattle can, and need to go buy more. It's like blueish silver but photo doesn't show it off well.

 

that looks really cool...

 

gathered more spare parts and rebuilt this old Tamiya DF02 i got back in 2004...

 

Thanks! I found a good spot by the rose bowl(dirt parking lot) to race, any good spots or backyard tracks in your area?

 

Back when sears had a Christmas wish book, and used to also have actual cool toys in it, i had several, first was a big foot, it was 4x4 had rubber tires that actually had air in them, didn't go very fast but it was very heavy so it could crush soda cans almost flat, and had a lot of pulling power. After that i had 2 of the lobo buggy style r/c cars, not sure of the top speed of them, but they were very fast, and a heck of a lot of fun. once they died i got into airplanes, way before the ones that you can get today that are almost ready to fly existed, back then you had to build them from balsa wood out of a kit you buy, you build it, carve and sand the wood edges, then put a heat shrink plastic coating on it to make the wings and body. had to wire in all your servos and the whole nine yards. Still do the planes today, as well as the helicopters. Biggest plane i have is a glider with a 6 foot wing span. It isnt one of the biggest, but it is a pretty big one, and it will stay in the air for a long time as long as you have a little wind.

 

Hahamongna Watershed Park across from La Cañada High School is pretty good. There is a big dirt area adjacent to the parking lot opposite the baseball field.

I remember there used to be RC drag racing at the Rose Bowl parking lots.

I live in the hills above Art Center by the Rose Bowl. When do you bash over there?

 

Blade CP pro2 (anything that breaks during a hard landing is probably broke!!)
Axial crawler (no mods really all original box kit with extra bodies)
Traxxas Slayer (Dirty but runs like a rapped ape)
XP2 radio (currently runs both trucks without changing parts)

I'm kinda done with em for now, So if I was to box up everything in one box, what could I get for it all?

 

I was just at the rose bowl an hour ago, then came home n saw ur post! i go once a week down there, evening when its cooler, take my dog and bash for half hr or so. I know that dirt lot by hahamonga too. I play disc golf down there. We should hit that up.

 

would have been cool to meet up... my kids and i were bashing in the front yard all afternoon... built them a ramp to jump their buggies...

let me know next time you head out... if im not all messed up in bed, i will cruise out...

 

maybe $500?

hard to say as you never really get back what you invested...

 

My son and did a little rcno time for them now. He plays highschool sports all year round. If he has any free time its girl time. He does have this now.

 

nice collection... wish i was that organized...

 

Cool man that would have been fun, will do next time i go out.

 

Nice collection looks fun!

 

Thanks mike. I dumped it all on eBay. We'll see what happens.
