Anyone into R/C?

I finally got this almost complete. A bit more weathering and I'll get it put into the 4runner

 

Check out horizon hobby online anything from Ecx or Redcat will be cheaper but OK quality wise. If you are running outdoors get something 1/10 scale as it'll cope with grass better.

If you can afford it Arrma or Traxxas is better quality.

Here are some examples

Arrma Granite for $100 <- probably another 20-30 for a cheap battery and charger

ECX Amp buggy $150 <- comes with battery and charger

ECX Amp crush $160 <- comes with a battery and charger

Personally I'd probably splurge on a nice lipo battery and a good charger. Will make it more fun and run faster.

New to the rc game but here it is . Already upgraded the bumper and waiting on the winch to show up . Also have bead locks and new tire ordered too

 

So for all you crawler guys what are your thoughts on Portal axles ?

 

SCX10iii is my first portal rig, and I notice a big difference not dragging the axles. The dig is pretty cool, too.

edit; totally forgot I have a TRX4 (I probably have way too many RC’s). It works pretty well too.

 

Could always start small and buy the Axial SCX24 they are about a hundred and change and quite a bit of fun. Plus winter is coming so indoor crawling is a load of fun. Mine is an ECX Barrage a little cheaper but still fun same 1/24th scale though.

 

R/C have portal axles?!??

 

Oh yeah

 

nice . I may have to look into them more then . They don't seem to expensive either from what I've seen

 

Raced mini-z for a while. Loved my nitro rig. HAD NO IDEA CRAWLING was a thing.

 

Nice... brought back some memories of my old 88...

 

Yea, there are quite a few portal models now.

 

LOL heck yeah portals and mattracks too!

 

Unfortunately prices are going up now. I wish Axial would release an SCX10iii builders kit like the SCX10ii raw builders kit.

 

oh yeah it's a little cheaper then crawling your full size rig and breaking stuff ahah

 

Me too . I may just need to buy them now then before they do get expensive to lol

 

Lots of options for RC enthusiasts that are into crawlers these days. I wish the 1/10 nitro stadium trucks and the Clodzilla conversion kits for the Tamiya Clodbusters would come back.

 

Super nice!
