Anyone into R/C?

Does anybody know what is a good heli to start off with. Flew a cheap in door one and loved it. Any suggestions do not want to spend big dollars to start.

 

Looks beefy. But, what is it exactly, crawler, SC truggie, buggy, trophy truck scale model, or just a do it all RC model?

 

i want them Hankooks for my slash now... hehehehe...

i want that buggy but everybody else will be running it too...

 

Me like!!

 

What did you fly? Was it a co-axial, (two counter rotating main blades), or a tail rotor. I'm guessing it was co-ax, you don't just pick up a single rotor heli and fly it. Prolly the best/toughest bang for your buck is a Eflite MCX. Everything for $130.00 or so. Yes, you will crash, and break stuff, but parts are very inexpensive.

 

Also, I can't help but notice the builder of that above kit, can't decide on how he should assemble his links. One shot the're the same, then in another shot the're opposing.

 

To sockmonkey: Fuck you. I hope your sweet-as-fuck-axial-exo-terra-buggy breaks first time out.

 

Walkera Genius CP.....it's a collective pitch heli but is durable and easy from beginner to advance.....has 6 axis gyro and 3 axis gyro.

ok i suggest you get a simulator first like pheonix.

 

you jelly

 

So someone with no experience can pick this up and fly it? I've had a MCX (I understand its lame) for some time and have just got a Eflite SR120, (well it's on it's way). What's your opinion of this little heli, easier, harder than the one you mentioned. I understand fixed vs collective. I've attempted a Eflite CP, above my skills. Just didn't think I was ready for a cp of any sort.

 

i hope to crash it, soon.
they keep pushing the date out.

won't get mine until Feb (unless they push it out again)

 

decided to tinker a little this morning...

mounted a helmet cam on a cheap body for my crawler...

 

Nice! I just use a wood block.... I don't want to spend 20 bucks to hold my truck up haha

 

for anyone looking to get into an entry level nitro...

$120

 

I was using a wood block also, didnt wanna spend the $20 on a stnd either so I made this up with crap I found in my garage for free, took about 15min

 

Well, looks like I have to order new hubs. Rounded mine off. That's Lipo power for ya! haha... I also lost a nut, so i'll be ordering a set of those, also.





The wheel is a little rounded, also. Still usable

EDIT: you do realize you are running the wrong size tire?

 

Wrong size tire? What makes you say that? They fit fine with no rubbing.
