RC cars

woohoo the diffs didnt implode when i ran it earlier and no dog poopies this time :P

this is deffo my favourite model at the moment, so fast on 2s and heavy but small enough to not be obnoxious running it in the street and more than capable of heavy bashing , i am truely in love with it :D

debating what to buy next time i get monies, the 40 quid treal or gpm threaded shocks look cool but the blue traxxas ones are 70 but look to be bigger bore..... not sure

gonna get some alloy blue tie rods and maybe some blue composite hub carriers etc :)
 
Took the SCX30 outside over some local rocks. Performs so much better than expected for the size. General consensus online is that they perform better than a stock SCX24 despite the size different. Currently the only thing I can grumble about right now is the ESC is bloody noisy!
awesome looking little truck

during lockdown ect i heavy used my scx24 in the back garden that i burnt out a motor so i ordered 2 motors one is in it and the other a spare then the garden got paved over lol, also tried adding lights to it but they popped :(

looking at they vids of your scx30 it looks like the shocks are just right, while my scx24 they were way to soft so i used nitro fuel tubing to preload them a bit :)

peaked my interest might get one, what body shell did you go with?

i have the chevvy one on my 24 :)

I went with the grey Bronco, since it was the only one in stock! I'd have preferred one of the Gladiator shells, but was feeling impatient.
Feels plausible that I could buy another in the future though :D

whoa that is some dedication and he's working on making it faster , he said he is aiming for 250 mph :D

all the blue parts i ordered except for the shocks and wheelie bar wheels have arrived, so in a day or 2 i can get to work fitting them on the new shiney blue suspension arms that i have had kicking about :)
 
the long awaited wheelie bar wheels have arrived also have hardened steel drive shafts fitted as well now :)

still amazes me how small that model actually is with the weight of it, so heavy :)





drive shafts 3 out of 4 fitted



4 out of four fitted :)

dad got a mini kraton earlier, he has plenty heli 3s batteries that fit it and im highly tempted with the teal one that comes with a battery but costs a bit more, might see it running the morn and get a shot, looks a very nice piece of kit and the first armma car to enter this house hold :)

mini xrt and mini kraton side by side pics.







not much in size between them tbh my xrt is slightly wider and longer and the arrma comes with some things i had to upgrade on my mini xrt out the box :)
 
tried the xrt earlier with the new wheels etc on it, got 2 pairs of batteries through and wow i made it more mental, can now do standing back flips and wheelies in reverse lmao way too much grip for out side the house.

had a go of dads mini kraton and that is also a bit mental, i am deffo gonna be buying one of them :)
 
got my mini kraton just havent ran it yet because the weather is terrible :P

such a nice wee beast, not sure what one is better and since i bought 3s batts for the kraton i might try one in the mini xrt :)





the cat was helping me out

the mini kraton got ran earlier and had a wheely bar fitted, i think that is essential for it :)



for any one interested i cannot decide what one is better the mini xrt or the mini kraton, they both are different beasts but both mental, im just glad i have both :)
 
i need to start getting wall mounts and shelves for these rc cars i went and dusted the ones stored under my bed with henry and a brush attachment, oh god so much dust and cat hair lol



edit : next to the bed a fish tank stand :S



i think i have a issue and that fish tank stand is too crowded now, can any one reccomend how to put hooks on a plaster board wall properly so i can start hanging some of these on the wall and out the way? especially the 8 scales ones like the corally kronos, so heavy.
