Welcome to the Radio Control section.

Here, you can share your interest of R.C with other S owners.

Post some pics of your work here, your paint jobs your Ride ETC...

I'll Start. I have a entry level HPI SPRINT 2 DRIFT SPORT I just scotch taped together...





Some factory photos...





Adjustable camber


Official licenced VOLK TE-37





Nothing but love for S2KI




Man, I never really noticed how sloppy like my wheel cut outs are until I see it on a clear monitor



That's some crazy 6MM offset


Well, that's all for now. I am currently working on a new wide body NSX shell, pics will come soon.

Anyone else, please feel free to post pics of your art

Hello everyone..

I used to race R/C cars a lot.. I still have both my nitro and electric stuff, but the track that I was racing at closed their doors a number of months ago and I do not see myself getting back into it anytime soon.

The cars I ran were:
Serpent 1/8 scale On-Road 4 wheel drive car w/ an 11 port Nova-Rossi race motor
Serpent Impulse Pro 1/10 scale Touring car
X-Ray T1 1/10th scale Touring car
X-Ray FK05
and numerous 1/12th scale CRC 2wheel drive pan cars which I took 2nd place in the Regionals with

I also have a 1/18th scale Micro kit (all carbon fiber)
A 4wd 1/10th scale F1 car (also carbon)

2 Turbo 35 chargers
A Hudy Fully-Automatic tire lathe
Diamond bit comm lathes
Full set of Hudy tools and set up scales for corner balancing
and Spektrum synthesized TX/RX system for my KO PROPO Mars EX-1
All with digital servos

I guess you can say I dumped a LOT of money into the hobby over the years...


Oh, and I almost forgot, an airbrush compressor with 2 guns.. LOL

Here is a pic of one of the bodies I shot about 3 years ago... (btw: The only stickers on this body are the KO, Hudy, and X-Ray stickers. Everything else is paint!)

That was a circle cutter that I used.

Maybe a dremel, at low speed with a burr removing tool would help a bit.

Damn, I gotta get some good skills for painting
