Anyone into RC?

[wingnuttzz]

Got a losi 8ight-B 2.0 and a cen matrix myself

Cen is probably going to be going under a pretty hefty brushless re-build soon

I had a Tyco Rebound when I was younger, that was awesome

I currently have a nitro T-Maxx with the pro .15. It's awaiting repair at the moment though, waiting until the weather warms up a bit.

Brushless emaxx, made a lot of the chassis myself

lightning stadium pro, made the chassis myself.

I have 7 cars at the min, including 2x 1/5th a Savage X, Rex X, Hyper 8 Pro, and 2 10th scale things. All Nitro - I had a Yokomo MR4TC which was my last electric.

They are upstairs in my garage and not been touched in over a year!

Building Candy, I recognise that emaxx of yours. Did you have a website detailing it's build with a load of vids on there as well?

I see you got bitten by the Unlimited Engineering bug? VBS, Racer-X, Strobe slipper etc etc.

I think I might actually have a video of your e-maxx on my computer? If I'm thinking of the right truck it's in like a court of some type and the video is captioned about the slipper clutch, and how it was too tight?

Wow !! some fantastic models there. I used to have a Tamiya Sand Sorcher, Subaru Brat and Kyosho Beetle in the mid 80's, they were great fun but i wouldn't get into it nowadays as it is a bit costly for me what with now having a real car to run

Going to head to Youtube now and check out some old vids for a trip down memory lane

I Run a Savage myself, just waiting for my XL TVP's to arrive to get it out again.

I'm after a decent r/c for me and my little one (6) to run together, but don't want to get one off the high street shelves.

Any recommendations?

What do you want to do with it, run it on flat ground, or offroad and high flying jumps?

Do you want electric or Nitro?

Start electric

I have a Losi 8ight T 2.0 with a GO GX5R engine, a Losi 8ight B 2.0 with an STS D21B engine, GS Storm buggy with a Mach 427, a HPI MT2, a HPI RS4 rallye and a Nine Eagles mini helicopter.
Used to run with Scubascorpion and his Hellfire and Hyper ST, till it gets cold and he becomes a right Jess, but have no video as mine was normally wrecked before the camera came out

Start electric

Avoid brushless then, those things are far more expensive than Nitro and far more work to maintain.

 

[Rikk]

Scale offroading is the way to go

Electric, and a bit of an all rounder!!

In what way? Brushless is the only thing I would recommend now after owning nitro for many years.
