Anyone into R/C?

That is awesome, I’ve never seen a thread for planes and don’t think I’ve seen planes in here but it’s RC so why not lol. That first one is an Extreme Flight 60" Extra V2 and I also have a 60" Slick. The Slick is insane! You will like it. I've had cars/trucks since I was a kid but just started flying last year, have a few foamies then graduated up to these two balsa ones and learning some mild 3D

Now we're talkn!

Nice control and recovery! Liked the knife edge flyby

 

Thanks, its definitely a thrill, I seem to have a lot of recoveries lol

 

Here's my new one. It's a lot of fun!

 

Nice! Hoping to maiden the Slick this weekend.

Haven't been flying much the last several years aside from sloping, and am tired of flying foamies and planes I've crashed and repaired multiple times, so it's time for a new, exciting plane.

I did pull out my 50cc Edge last weekend and remembered how much fun it was to fly a proper 3D plane... up until I broke a $30 prop.

 

Well, took the truck to work today because of rain (we can’t really do anything but ride the clock when it rains) and blew a tire.

 

Ouch that sucks. What wingspan is the 50cc? That is around 90-100”? The largest I have so far is 60” and all are electric but I’m tempted to get a larger gas. I had nitro cars a long time ago but went to electric because nitro was a hassle, but the gassers sound so cool!

 

Uh oh. Time for a new set.

 

IIRC 80"

I live at 7k' ASL, so need a little more engine.

Electrics are certainly much easier. It's nice to go out to the field and plug a battery in and fly, but it its fun to pull the gasser out once in a while. Nitro's are a little more of hassle and I hate paying for nitro fuel. So I just jump from electric to gas anymore.

 

Yep, now time to find tire height and width and then find some fairly aggressive tires.

 

There’s some replacements on fleaBay. Measure what’s you’ve got and get something else.

 

Brett I'll have to beg you to take me out flying sometime. I need someone who can land it or show me that part.

 

You're welcome to join me anytime. We have a nice field here I'll be flying at all summer as long as I'm not wheeling or fishing. So not much.

I've even have a .40 size trainer that you can fly once I fix it up. Maybe can even rig up a buddy box system.

 

Selling my UDR guys. I'm asking $650

Selling my very well cared for UDR to go to an xmaxx. Had a ton of fun building it. Top speed It's reached so far is 57mph. Only ran on grass or dirt and thoroughly washed each time. Has a total of about 6 hours of run time. Its 3 months old. I've upgraded a good bit of parts, of which most parts look brand new.

Located in Orlando, FL. I'm looking to sell locally, but will ship.

Well, I found a Traxxas 2wd Stampede slider (parted out) on fleaBay for cheaper than the sum of its parts. I’ve got wheels/tires and electronics to make it pull wheelies already. Then I found a knock off Grave Digger body and got it, too.

Stoked to have a bonafide basher coming. It’ll be my first RC to abuse.

 

Got the RC's from my boss and 2/3 are in need or repair. Got the Savage Flux 2350 working and holy shit that thing is scary. So much power. Couldn't get it up to speed in my work parking lot for fear of running into a car. Going to have to find an open field to test it out.

 

Pics...?

 

Got my Stampede roller today. Started putting it together while getting new exhaust at a country boy shop but I forgot the front wheels. The tires I’m using were mounted already and the fronts are on bearing not 12mm hexes.

 

Cool. A SWB Monster Truck? Is it just the photo or does that one have a pretty high COG?

 

CoG is fairly high compared to a SCT or stadium truck. I dug around my tires box and actually have a set of these. LOL. I felt excited to be a hoarder for a few minutes.

I put in a sensorless 3660 motor in 2600kV flavor. On 2s it pulls wheelies already. Need to figure out a wheelie bar now. I’ll swing by Harbor Fright and get some stick on wheel weights for it, too.
