DFW RC - Home of BYSRacing

I just packed mine with epoxy after I tried silly putty

 

I've had an interest in these awesome machines for a few years now and am pretty close to purchasing one. They all appear to be pretty upgradable but is something like the wraith or the bomber a good starter platform? Or are these already pretty much upgraded as much as somebody would want?

 

upgrades lead down a serious rabit hole, almost every out the box setup will be fine enough to have fun and upgrades can come along with repairs but ultimately it depends on what kind of driving you want to do.

wraith and bomber fall into a 2.2 inch tire category so they are bigger rigs, either can craw pretty well and handle higher speeds better than 1.9 inch tire options but 1.9 are more true to scale

 

Is the 2.2 any more capable than the 1.9 beyond the added ground clearance gained by the larger tire? For instance, are upgrade options more readily available for one than the other or is the options and upgrades market comparable between the two? I really appreciate the input.

 

2.2 is larger so some trails can get pretty tight. if you want to crawl, 1.9 is where its at. stick to the big brand current models and you wont find any issue finding upgrades other that any virus related supply issues. Axial, Traxxas and Element are good brands to look at.

 

Start watching some YT videos and see what those guys are building and how they're upgrading them. That's part of how I'm learning as I go as well as bugging @Silverspool at all hours of the day.... Channels like Scale Builders Guild, Harley Designs, RC Girl, and others that will pop up once you start those channels. SBG is a cool channel if you want to go ultra scale. Kinda like building a model car, but in an RC platform. Like Frank said.... It's a rabbit hole.

 

Well, spent a large portion of yesterday clearing trails at White Settlement. We can now trail from the start, all the way back to the to the bouncer hills!

 

nice! maybe ill finally get to workin on the comper and yeti this weekend, still need to see whats wrong with the comp rigs drivetrain

 

It’s all about trailing these days. Apocalypse has eliminated all foreseeable comps, except crawlfest is still not “officially” cancelled.

 

Element is gone, all i have left is the comper, its going to have to retain double duty trailing and comping

 

I saw that. Was it already listed for sale or did someone snipe that dude off his own ISO post lol

 

Going to be at WS prob 12-12:30, again. Gotta test the trail, as oppose to the “cut then drive where it’s cut” method used yesterday.

 

he def got sniped, bandy wanted it also but ole boy marco cruz was literraly down the street so he came by and snatched it up within minutes of posting it lol. Oh well, money talks!

 

Savage! I hope you charged his ass an extra $100, cuz he’s def going to charge everyone else top dollar when he breaks it down!

 

i cant hate the player, gotta hate the game

 

Had to getaway while all of y’all get the virus...

 

Took the boys to our deer lease for some “social distancing”. Had some natural obstacles.

 

The YetiSlayer is alive!! Just waiting on the wheels to get here.

 

That's pretty slick!

 

NICEEE SCT410 based? that should handle damn well
