Anyone into R/C?

Could buy a wraith and custom fit an scx10 trail honcho body to it as well... it will look like a toyota then... you just have to cut the back half of the cage... i had one like that

 

Get both. One for bashing, one for scale coolness.

 

Thanks for the advice.
I'd like to get both, but its not in the budget.

 

Stretch Goals...

 

I have the Deadbolt myself and it is a very capable RTR. I'm in the process of switching over to the Honcho body. This is my starting mock up

from this

Agreed that the RC4WD and Tamiyas are very scale but lack flex ability. They also have hard shell bodies vs. lexan.

I have heard good things about the newer SCX10 2 but it comes down to what you want to spend. I personally like the plastic links cause I feel they slide over stuff better.

 

I used to be into racing nitro hydro boats 15 years ago. I think the club was NAMBA. Local cities started getting strict about nitro fuel and oil in the water. Cool thing about boats we could run up to 60% nitro because motors were water cooled.

 

Scx 10 2 also has chassi mounted servo and waterproof esc and waterproof box for the receiver and "water resistant" servo and different axels. Can post pics of mine if needed.

 

Where did you find the honcho body with the bed?all the ones I'm seeing are the cab or cab and flatbed. Wanting to get one for mine and paint it tan to match

 

I got tired of breaking front bumpers on my dromida, so this afternoon i fabbed a new bumper out of some aluminum i had in my garage. I traced the old one and cut the rough shape with a hacksaw, then shaped it further and trimmed it with a die grinder. Eventually I'll pull it back off and paint it

 

The bed is actually from the new Hilux SR5 body from Proline. The cab is the original Honcho. I'm just going to piece them together but I did see someone selling bed panels that went around the original Honcho bed cage on ebay.

 

I've been out of the R/C world for a few years, is SC racing still a thing? It used to be really popular but it seems like it died out.

 

A company called Dinky makes a set of bedsides that has more of a Ironman/desert racing look.

Racing is still out there but it isn't where I am. There should be something out in Cali where you're at and lots of the colder states that actually have winters race indoors.

Testing the new rock beast xl and beadlocks

 

Bought a waterporrf savox servo... installed it and it wouldn't work... just kept spinng... it came with missing teeth on the gears

 

Dang. Surely they will replace it, I'm about to pick up one of there high torque servos for mine

 

Anyone interested in buying a Mini e-revo? Comes with 3 sets of tires, 5 NIMH batteries, 1 Lipo battery, a ton of spare parts and it's got a few upgrades on it.

 

Where's all the racers on this thread? There's too much crawler talk going on here

 

post some pictures or videos of you racing

 

Me wants a go fast car... and by fast i mean like 35 tops lol
