My Other Hobby

[300exr]

Well I have been racing r/c ars for about 5 years now. We race on saturdays in a warehouse on a carpet track. For any of you who know about these I run the 19turn motor 1/12th scale class.
I'll post up some video sometime.

that looks pretty sweet. I have a traxxas stampede that has a 16 turn double motor that rips, but my speed controller cought on fire and doesnt work anymore. Hint Hint: -never buy duratrax speed controllers, mine was suposed to handle down to 12 turn modified motors, and I had a 16, and it died:ermm: Now it just sits on the shelf. I also have an old blackfoot. My brother has a modified rustler. and an oldschool blackfoot. He also has a costum chassis clod buster. My dad has a big boss. You can tell we really used to be into these things:cool:

hey...i had that exact same one.......fast little f###er

[300exr]

Fun as he\\ too. The racing is 3 qualifying heats and a main, c- main = not the fastest guys, b-average, and A- fast drivers. I made the A main last weekend, it was only the second weekend i had driven the car(used to run 1/10th scale sedan). I was the only kid against seven grown men, lol. Its amazing how much tweaking and suspension changes you have to make to make thes things fast. You get a 10 driver main and you see some crazy arse wrecks:macho .

Man.. I had a mugen buggy. Damn that was a money PIT. The local track shut doen so i sold it and bought a savage and i also have a team trinity nitro spyder

[Hon300ex]

i always think about getting one but everyone tells me there a waste of money and i dont wanna waste $400

[coolex]

i was thinkin bout getting one but a gas powered one instead though

[dirt308]

what brand is it? I race touring, offroad mod truck and buggy and 1/8 4wheel drive gas. My local track shut down about 2 months ago so I also lost my job. I'm keeping all my stuff and helping to look for a new place to race.

[300exr]

Its a team associated L4. Yea it can be a money pit if you let it by buying all the best stuff. With 1/12th scale cars you may be able to do things cheaper, atleast for me it has been. I'm 16 so i still do it with my dad. Its like playing with cars, just scaled down and cheaper, and once you get competative it becomes really really fun.

i wish I had all the money back I spent on R/C from a couple years back. I raced 1/8 offroad for years and those are serious money pits-$350 for motors that last 1/3 a year and 60 bucks for a full set a tires that last a day at a big race. Not to mention $600 for the car and $250 for servos. I think I spend less now at the honda shop!

[300exr]

Gas is more expensive than electric I think. Still fun though.

[redlineranger]

they can be money pit's but there fun as hell when there runnin(which mine dont half the time:( :o ). anyways i have a team associated nitro tc3 and can only say good things about it. every time somethin has happened it's been my fault and not the car being faulty on me. all i ever do is change the plugs and it keeps on runnin and runnin. the only money i spend on is gas and glow plugs. thats a bad electric car you got there 300exr. is that carpet racing any fun? i want to get an electric one day and try it out.

[300exr]

I like it because you can do it all winter. Its fun too:D . Ive got some race video from a recent regional race ill post up sometime.

[blue416ex]

i have a tmaxx with a widemaxx aarm set on it other than that its basically stock except right now im waiting for a little more money to buy my new OS 18 side axhaust engine for it then it will rip the stock traxxas motors are garbage mine is ready to go anyday now, but now its alot more fun because i try to kill it without killing anything else but my motor lol its fun i love the r/c cars

Nice revo. I am a MT fan myself... but I do a little of everything. Occasional racing for fun, mostly bashing. I use a Mammoth on the track and I have a Savage LE and 4.6, and a Madforce otherwise. Then I have a bunch of non-MT nitro and electrics, but they see little of my time. For anyone looking at thinking about getting one though, I wouldn't recommend it. These things are fun... but are a pain in the butt! I love nitros, I hate working on something every time I run it. Surprisingly enough, my Mammy is the only one I NEVER have problems with. I love that truck!

[300exr]

Yea, its true that some nitros are a pain, but electrics arent. If you find a decent indoor track its pretty fun.

[Out_Sider]

yeah, i have a RC10 GT but i can't keep a transmission in the som biitch long enough to have fun with it :scary:

[moto04racing]

i race onroad cars also, i use a 27turn motor on a carpeted track. I got a monster 27t
aluminum aarms
novak gtx speed control
jr radio stuff

and alot more, its torn apart right now so i havent been racing it

btw its a xxx-s but a fast one

[HondaDude93]
