Anyone into R/C?

Been there, done that. Cars, boats, planes and helicopters for about 15 years.
Scratch-Built, Kit-Built, pretty much every facet, until I WOKE UP. $$$$$$$

I'm over it.
And I won't be back to this thread!!
HAVE FUN

 

As with anything with moderation and within ones means....

Hope you figure both of those out even though 15 years didn't help....

 

Cool story bro

 

Well bomber fab won the King of Hammers again become one of few triple crowned winners in the bomber. Does this actually sell more axial rc trucks? I did get mine up and running last week to bash around a bit with as the week approached it felt a bit more motivating. Curious if the market really pays much attention or if the ryft is still the new truck... Being that I already have a bomber I'm curious about the ryft still and didn't see the world pivot with the wraith 1.9, capra or scx10iii

 

The next time i get back into this hobby it's going to be large scale 1/5 trucks

 

A pics of my Gspeed build. I still need to tidy up the wiring and program the ESC.

 

Maybe a little bit, but not noticeable enough to really make a difference. at least in my experience.

A friend of mine owns a hobby shop, most sales go to traxxas and arrma go fast stuff.

 

That was my experience working at a hobby shop too. Traxxas or Arrma trophy trucks are the budget introductory rc for people not interested in one of the niche areas of RC

 

those arrma trucks kinda kick the shit out of the traxxas stuff.

higher power, lower price point.

 

I bought an XMAXX in the early days-I still have it but when the Kraton first came out, something said that would be pretty bomb too. It was more than that. It takes a beating-so much so that I took it to a Tepui Fest and let whoever drive. Came home in one piece.

 

Traxxas gets a lot of parts into the hands of dealers and that wall of upgrades and replacements is enticing.traxxas is the advertising giant. The Arrma stuff is absolutely a better buy though imho

 

I updated my RC shelf space a bit to make more room. I also added a 1/6 scale Willies Jeep to the collection.

 

I was worried that just gluing the 3D printed parts for the 4Runner body would not be strong enough so I re-enforced the inside with a fiberglass shell.

 

I’m looking to sell a truck I built a while ago and never really used to get mods for my Taco. It’s an HPI Savage with tons of parts of anyone is interested. I wouldn’t mind having a small Tacoma crawler if anyone has any with pics

 

Haven't even run it yet, but I now have yet another reason to be on TacomaWorld. To chat in here about RC STUFFS!!!

My buddy is gonna swap the battery connectors from the Proprietary Traxxas style to XT60 on Sunday. Got a couple batteries and a charger on their way as well. Until then I will just dream about the fun I'm going to have with this thing!! Can't wait to start building a course in the backyard, too.

 

Reminds me of something sitting out front

 

Put a front sway bar on my smt10. Someone pointed out that the lmt lights and servo saver would be good upgrades so I ordered them. Soon as a vp origin front axle comes back in stock I need to grab it. My servo controllers are in the mail. Technically everything is buttoned up. Couple trucks need an interior still....

 

Me and my son recently got into rc. I purchased him a traxxas mini e Revo with the brushed motor. Running lipo battery’s. Thing fly’s. So far I’ve added a rear wheelie bar and ordered the rpm upgraded a arms. Gonna have to order my own truck to play with. We take turns with this one for now. My son is only 4 and is damn good at driving and jumping it.

 

You should get a couple of short course trucks cause they rule
