Anyone into R/C?

That looks cool^

The only minus from me working from home now, is that it's a lot harder to get to the RC track. I used to go to practice / race nights after work. It was another 25mins north of my office. But now I have to drive almost 1.5hrs to get there from my house, so I don't go often. So I was thinning down my fleet a little bit, unfortunately. Kinda sucks. Still going to hit up the track here and there. And keeping my Widemaxx for bashing, which I love. But just going to move a couple of my race vehicles (likely both to 2 different friends.)

 

All you Jeep Trophy Truck fans, Losi is bringing Casey Currie's Hammer Rey to life.

 

it’s a pretty cool looking setup. I have considered adding one of the Losi “Rey” chassis to the collection. I like that it’s a longer wheelbase. Body and styling don’t really do it for me but the whole package is cool.

 

New release from Axial!

Yas! Now make a kit version with a clear body, and I’m going to keep wishing for a portal 6x6 from axial.

 

Really nice!

 

Well I ended up needing a project to kill some time. Local shop had the mst rmx2.0 builder kit in stock so I grabbed it. Need to find a Pandora Toyota truck body for it... Anyone done much with this chassis?

I went ahead and ordered some nice yokomo shocks and a ball diff to build and keep on hand for super polished surfaces like the shop in Denver. I need to order wheels and a body and electronics still but I finished half the build today. Probably work on it here and there over the weekend and wrap it up Monday.

 

I've got an MST RMX 2.0, but I haven't had much time to complete it. I did finish the chassis, the electronics and trimmed the body.... last summer! Life just got in the way. The body I'm using is a Pandora Starlet and still need to paint it. Our local crew used to be pretty active until we lost the smooth concrete garage one of the guys rented and things died off. But now they're talking about getting things rolling again so I'll have more incentive to put some effort into this rig. I'll take some pics tomorrow when I get a chance.

 

I'm thinking a candy root beer paint from spazstix and different wheels

 

I first got into it in the mid 80's with a Tamiya Frog. Still have it. Was sitting around the fire with a buddy about 20 years ago and started talking and realized that we both used to be into the hobby. He said, "now that we have jobs, we should go get some good ones", lol. Both ended up getting Traxxas Tmaxx's. Then that led to an HPI Savage. Tried getting my son into it about 5-6 years ago and bought us each a Traxxas Monster Jam truck. He got Maxx D and I got Grave Digger. We still take them out now and then and bag them around. My 2 nitro trucks are still sitting in the garage. Always mean to get back into it but other things always seem to get in the way.

 

I just found someone who made some really nice rock bouncer chassis for the scx24, but it seems that he has taken all of his free files down and the only way to get them now is to pay shapeways and wait a month for them to print it and send it out. It's a longshot, but if anyone here has heard of Gamyrc and has some of those old rock bouncer files, I'd love to get a copy. I wouldn't mind paying him for the stls, but I really don't want to wait a month and spend $40 for $5 worth of plastic when I have a 3D printer. Or maybe you guys have seen some similar models floating around elsewhere?
Here's a pic for reference:

Another oldie but goodie.

Unfortunately those don't work with the scx24, but those are some pretty nice designs.

I was looking for something a little more complex, but I might just print that one as a temporary setup to get the buggy setup going.

 

Newest build and a little bummed my tape lines didn’t hold

 

What model truggy is that?

 

it's a Tekno MT410 that has been stretched with a M2C race chassis for the ET48.3 Some people call them the MT48.3 and the body is from Leadfinger. I used the M2C MT410 shock towers so the rear of the body is a little higher than I was hoping for.

 

Ok that makes sense. I thought for a sec that it was a ET410 but it looked a bit long and the towers were unfamiliar. But I saw the ackerman bar, hinge pin holders etc and it looked like Tekno lol. That's a beauty.

 

It was a great Father's Day present from the wife and kids. I have been trying to get my son out to the local racetrack's so I have built up a fleet Tekno's for the track. We now have an eb410, eb410.2, et410.2, Sct410.3 an Et48 2.0 and this monster. We ended up signing him up for soccer this summer so it has impacted out ability to make most of the races. Instead we have spent time at one of the tracks next to a local hobby shop and have been working on the basics and trying to become consistent.

 

Very cool. Nice fleet. I have a EB410.2 (set up for 13.5 stock) and a ET410. They are great. The rest of my vehicles are TLR. But hopefully you guys can get out when you can. Always fun to at least practice, even if you can't race. I haven't been able to run much recently either, which is a bummer.
