Anyone into R/C?

I picked up a set of Marvel Legends at my local Target for 1/2 price. I got StarLord and Ego.

Here’s Brody. The old Wraith driver that is a repeat offender and got his license revoked.


I’ll knock you out you giant alien Brody.


I’ve got this, son.


Get some.


The Marvel action figures fit the Wraith seats better than Brody did.

 

hsahah nice figures. I have a stone cold steve austin figure I am working on for an interior. I am running a dodge powerwagon on my trx4 and it def needs some interior details.

 

Star Lord is doing some charity work nowadays.

 

Finally some warm weather outside. I am painting up a few things to fix my trx4 up. Finally it will look good again. I will post up some pics later.

 

Nice. Still too cold up here for painting. Hopefully in a couple of weeks. I think I gave myself brain damage this winter from attempting to lay some paint indoors. My MacGyver venting set up was not up to snuff.

 

hahahaha no way. I did the same. Setup a booth in the bathroom, but the fan was not strong enough. I felt dumb for the rest of the day. So happy I can start working on my scale stuff again. My truck is pretty sweet. When the shoe goo drys I will be able to snap some pics. I have the body wedged for some drying. The problem with truck beds is getting them so there is no sag at the joints. I am running a 46 power wagon.

 

Crazy, i tried the same thing. Opened the window, ran the fan and cranked up the space heater. It worked, but yeah, could tell there were some less than friendly molecules finding their way up into my brain. After that I decided spring was near enough to wait.

The Power Wagon is a great body. Nice Choice. Look forward to the pics

 

I am running some better wheels on the powerwagon as of now. Those are the bfg tires tho. I have some portal covers an upgraded servo in the truck for now. Def will be doing more mods here soon.

 

Axial wraith spawn. 300 shipped. Hr transmission, hr links. Axial servo horn, battery forward mod. Fastback mod, aluminum hubs, 15t motor

 

O yeahhh got my castle brushless motor and esc today. Running it in my slash. I been racing at a indoor track its so fun. The interior on my trx4 is done as well. Just need a steering wheel to look legit. Kinda pissed though the motor is sensored but the esc doesnt handle it. I would have to upgrade the esc to run the motor sensored. Been trying to learn more about these electric motors.

 

I made this junky 1/24 Maisto Samba van have proportional steering, a 20a ESC, and run on 2s power. LOL.

 

That van is uncontrollable at full throttle. Solid rubber wheels and no suspension.


I finally got my ECX Barrage out of the box a few days ago. I’ve had it for over two months still sealed up. I got a wild idea to put a set of Scrambler tires I have on it. Well, they’re way too big. It did not look like what I had in my head.


Today I moved the battery forward, lowered the body posts one notch, and clipped 1.5 turns off of each spring. Had a good look at it and stuck it back in the box until I can come up with something special for it. Poor thing needs a cool TLC or UniMog body. Maybe a set of wheels/tires, just something. They only produced them in blue and red.

 

Announced/Raced tonight at my local track tonight. Got the win. I ended up racing a box stock 2wd traxxas slash in the novice class too it was too much fun lol. Here's a picture I took of my old stadium truck body on a friends stadium truck... it makes me want another one lol. I didn't even race the class. And my heat sheet for the main.

 

Finally finished my power wagon build. Added some rust and a flat clear to make it look old. Really liking it.

 

So who is going to build a crawler with the new tacoma rc4wd body . Ima order next week and start putting together a chassis

 

Haha i have one in my cart, deciding if i wanna use my current 12.3 or get a new one for the chassis

Im diggin my current one so i dont know if I want to change it up

 

How did that slip in on me. I’m a 1st gen man, too.

$60 is a little steep. I wonder how long before China copies it.

I like the new tacoma body but I would probably have to get a new chassis for it. To narrow for my trx4. Just got the power wagon to fit. The inside of the body barley fit around the electronics. I def would buy it and see tho. I just finished that power wagon and want to build something else. That was my first scale build and it is very fun. What you guys think of hard bodies?

 

Hardbodies are fun. A lot more top heavy and prone to rollovers but are way more ‘scale’ than any lexan body can be.
