Anyone into R/C?

Lol too funny!! Yeah I got out there late that Friday night and was wheeling it around some after a few beers . Definitely a small world!

Just got back from a trip to Pittsburgh but never got a chance to wheel it. Did get this awesome picture though when we stopped at an overlook

 

Nice! More classic Tamiya buggies. I see a Frog, a Grasshopper, and not sure of the middle one..

 

Would anybody have any interest in purchasing my HPI nitro MT2? It has a Tsais exhaust pipe on it and an aftermarket intake. Wondering what it's worth, I haven't used it in a few years

 

It's called 'The Wild One'. It certainly performed the best of those three. It helped me compete with my cousin's Super-Champ

 

This is the current project. My sons are salivating over the immanent opportunity to take the controls of this thing.

 

oh true... i was thinking the older RC10 onroad pan cars... my bad

 

Anybody? Or at least how much I should put it on Craigslist for

 

i left nitro years ago... have no idea... maybe do a price comparison on ebay?

 

Not really, it's a tub chassis. True pan cars' chassis were sheets of fiberglass (very little carbon back then) for on road or carpet racing.

 

aaaaah the carpet racers... yah, those type of pan cars...

 

Yep, fast as f*** and twitchy as all get out!!!

 

That things looks fun...and light

 

Notice the resistor type speed control... It's a wiper arm, (think slot car controller). Then, ESCs and carbon fiber took over. These things are so fast it's hard to follow them, no shit!!

 

neat. I don't see any suspension either...crazy

There you go..

 

Yeah, a bit of suspension. But different. A T-bar rear and flex front. Most Asian fast guys, still drove sticks. This vid is newer.

 

Slot Cars is right. They accelerate a lot like them. That looks fun

 

Slot car racing…..man that vid above^ was insane! I wonder if the drivers and cameraman go home with sore necks! You guys inspired me to dig up my old-school rc-10.

 

humpback ni-cads, lol. I remember those as being what almost caused me to give up RC.
Thank new technology for LiPo batteries!

 

Yeah Lipo is awesome. My 2S lipo battery is way fast in the Slash. Here's my quiver. I used to have a Tamiya Fox, but it disappeared over the years.
