I'd like to start off by saying....FIRST!!

 

also, whats the haps with RC cars...? how much would someone like myself, new to the RC scene be looking for in terms of cost? how much money do i need to drop to get into this? I've been looking for a new hobby.

 

I do have about an acre of dirt area i can use for this sole purpose.

 

I have a Traxxas Rustler electric with trickle charger, 2 batteries, and remote Ill sell ya on the cheap. It may need a little work, but should be about good to go.

Did someone say RC cars?!

I stopped running my NTC3 (with RB Concept race motor) because replacing broken parts was killing my wallet! Too fast! But it is a LOT of fun working out the suspension settings, just like a full-size car only easier. Note I can only run this on groomed surfaces (4 mm ride height!).

For whatever reason, I've never been able to get a carefree tune on the OS Max motor of my RC10GT. The RB Concept is supposed to be fussy but runs like a top.

But to a newb I'd recommend one of the common monster trucks because you can play with it anywhere.

Way back when I raced 1/10 scale electrics (the first RC10). Very competitive expensive hobby. Gas is not that much more expensive but sure is noisier!

 

Whoa, didn't know s2ki had a rc forum, thats sweet. I'm not really into rc cars. When I was younger I had a nitro inboard boat. That was really fun to run around at my parent's lake. I'm now getting more into airplanes. Just got a 48" trainer to learn on.I did my first flight a month ago. It's been a blast flying this thing. Hope to see other people's rc interests & stories.

 

I want those drifting RC cars

 

Wow, this is freaking awesome

Didn't think it would really go down

 

I used to race RC 4wd on road electric waaay back in the day

becareful what you ask for, you just might get it!!
