I once raced off-road alot (like back in elementary and jr. high), and have always ran the same RC10T. Since i mainly drove it on the street, and realized that it would not be NEARLY as fast as an on-road car with the same motor/esc/battery setup I got a TC3 road car. I have an S-10 body for it, but now i can't find tan lexan paint to match my real truck , so I'm either going to pick a new scheme, or buy a T/A body for it. Right now, i still run the mercedes body on it. Painted it my self, the only stickers are the grill and lights....







old truck and brothers old car...



Anyone tried "drifting" their R/C cars? I've got a set of rims that I mounted some tires made of PVC on to get alot of slip. It's alot fun. Hauling *** around a big parking gets boring sometimes.

I love these things i got a t-maxx monster truck, a ofna .21 buggy(the acceleration is absolutely amazing on this thing) and a nitro 4tec onroad car.
heres a couple pics:

Can you say articulation?

the monster truck has taken several 17 foot cliffs to flat without a buckle but its the little things like hitting a curb at 15mph that break it. I swear i could hit a curb at 50 in the car and then break it from hitting a stick. Speaking of sticks one time this little kid threw a stick infront of my onroad car when it was topped out in second gear and that thing flew at least 20 feet in the air to my amazement it was fine.

I have an Xmod which are these little cars from radio shack that can be modded all sorts of ways. I have all wheel drive upgrade stage 2 motor all sorts of stuff like suspension anyways you can get these things to around 50mph with the crazy motors. But i put electrical tape over all the wheels and it drifts like crazy on wooden floors its so badass.

I used to be into RC hardcore. I have a Team Associated T3 stadium truck. It used to be pretty quick dominating everyone but I need to fix the electronics to get it going again.

I was heavy into R/C racing about a year ago. I’ve got a Team Losi XXX graphite KW edition right now with airtronics M8 radio gear and a plethora of other stuff.

I’ve got boxes of stuff for the triple x that I take to the track when I race, lol..

I haven’t raced in about a year, but I’d be interested in dragging it all out if I’m in town when you plan something.
