03zoomzoom Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Anybody get into R/C cars? I got a Traxxas 4-Tec that I've been messing around with. So far I've only broke it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03zoomzoom Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yeah, I'm learning. I had to replace both servos, the gas tank, battery pack, front bumper and rear shock tower. My car wants to be a airplane. It launched off a driveway and over a mailbox... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03zoomzoom Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 my buddy has a few trucks and tried to get me to start with them. I just prefer the nitro cars. Might look into getting something off road for the winter. i got 2 trucks....spent to much money fixing them....they just sit in my garage taking space...only thing sweet is when they are running and launching them off ramps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Sorry we did not have that tank tonight lol. I have my "hurd" down to 3 now just racing stuff I don't have any bashing stuff. For 3 years I raced nitro off-road every weekend somewhere in ohio and got very burnt out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonneVille Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Post some pics, would ya, ya bastids? That'll change. They're money pits. lmao. As we speak, my truck is upside down on the table in front of me with it's asshole torn out so I can fix the rear diff. Fucking thing decided to bust a bevel gear and spider gear the day after I put an extended chassis on it, and now I can't find my fucking lithium grease. Brand new body, tried to fade from orange to black, but I got a lot of overspray that screwed up the blend. First time trying a multi-color paint job. http://gonneville.smugmug.com/Hobbies/My-RC/DSC00966/721417918_qt4jq-M.jpg http://gonneville.smugmug.com/Hobbies/My-RC/DSC00991/721423453_VsUog-M.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 jimmy had a jato3.3..that thing was fucking fast..but he broke it every time he played with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yeah, Traxxas are known for being great drivers, but a bit delicate. On the other hand, I have been thinking about picking up a Summit for a winter bashing truck, just because of the waterproofing. My buddy and I are thinking of doing an ice-racing track on his pond if it gets cold enough, long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbospec29 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I haven't gotten around to taking many pics, but here is my new paint scheme. Gonna have all my race vehicles done like I had this one.

LS_Sonoma Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ive got a CEN GST 7.7 that Ive converted to 2wd and a 1999 HPI RS4 that I bought brand new at an auction last year. I put a .15 traxxas engine on it after some minor surgery. Im thinking of converting it to a Castle Creations brushless setup to see what it'll do. Tired of glow plugs for the moment.
