Default Who has RC cars or trucks??

So who has some remote control cars/trucks. Post up the model and whether they're nitro or electric.

If you do, and you're local, hit me up with a PM if you wanna take them out. I go out with a couple guys to some "spots" we know to race them.

I have 2 1/8th scale nitro buggies powered by O.S. .21 motors. My friends have Revo's and Tmaxx trucks, nitro with .20 and .33 TRX motors.

Hit me up.............

I was into manufacturing them for quite a while. Here a link to my webpage. Any interest in nitro engines and parts? If so, shoot me a PM, I'll make you a smoking deal on what I have left.

I used to be big into R/C. Mostly racing though, only some bashing.

Here's a list of some of the cars/trucks/buggies I had

Xray T1
G-maxx chassis'ed Emaxx (feigao brushless)
MBX5 running a OS .21
S-Maxx with BB conversion
mamba'd mini inferno
777 SP1
Revo OS .21
XXX CR
Factory Team T4

I also ran pro and stock truck at Socal R/C and was in the babcock racing league. I was sponsored by a small LHS in my area called race prep hobbies.

Here' some random pics

FT T4


Emaxx


Revo


Mini Inferno


Smaxx


777


MBX5


Other Smaxx basher


I mostly sold all of them to pay for real car stuff but it was a fun (and expensive) hobby and I really miss it.

You want to buy it back? It hasnt got much run time. The truck and street car are getting all the action.

Are those dificult to learn how to fly? How much does an entry level grade kit cost, and how much more money would I have to invest to get it into the air?

they are extremely difficult to fly, and NO ONE attempts to fly them without the flight simulator program for your computer were you actualy use a transmitter and practice on your computer. what people dont realize is your controlling two things at once the main rotors and the tail rotors, and are X10 harder to fly than any RC airplane. if you go into your local hobby store they should have the flight simulator setup were you can see for yourself as for price the big one in the back is just under $3500 and the yellow one is much much older and prob runs around $1100. i also have a very small electric one made for in front of the house but is still full 3D and will fly upside down and it ran around $800 bucks. but for starters your best bet is to buy the simulator for $300 and practice for 4-6 months before even buying a helicopter. and it realy helps to know someone else in the field because they require alot of maintenance and tuning . and that is just to hover once you are comfortable enough to do forward flight its a whole new story and the controls change as the position of the helicopter changes from were your standing

In other words....way too much lol.....

I'll stick with cars/trucks/buggies. They are too expensive for what they are.
