RC cars and trucks

[bri487 5,000+ posts]

any of you guys into rc cars or trucks. i am completely new to the whole world of real rc trucks. i just recently picked up a tmaxx, and it has a few upgrades done on it so far. since i found weld wheels for it, i will be using the weld velocities (i have them on my real truck) with the swamper tires on it, and i have to paint a chevy body. also, i am going to have my gf's dad (best fiberglass/gel coat boat guy around) paint a jeep body and get wheels and tires to match his real rock crawler. well, i just thought i would share this with you guys and see if any of you are into it too, as i just found yet another hobby.

I drive a Traxxas Stampede (electric), Associated T3, and an HPI Savage. Fun hobby, and I've been out of it since I've been away at college, but can't wait to get back into it this summer. Time to fix all the broken parts!

i really wanted a revo, but i liked all of the aftermarket parts for the tmaxx. i was going to get a used savage, but it needed some front steering components, front driveshaft, and a radio, so i said screw it. i also was going to get a tc3, but it wasnt too reliable, so i got a tmaxx with a hpi motor, upgraded coil over shocks, upgraded servo, ugraded radio, a couple bodies, etc...

I have a Monster GT (far from stock) and 3 Mini T's. I just sold my LST a few months ago. Not much time to use them anymore.

Ive got an old shool kyosho(sp?) lazer 4x4 buggy. In its hayday it was the fastest 4 wheel drive buggy you could buy.

I would love to get a nitro though.

I would love to have a twin-brushless savage. I have nitro and it can get annoying. But ****, i can't wait to fire up my engine again, haven't run it in a year and a half.

I have a associated tc3 and a Emaxx both are far from stock but i use to race the tc3 at a track they tore apart for paint ball.

i still have a Kyosho inferno DX-II 1/8 nitro buggy and an original gold chassis RC10. i sold my Clodbuster/clodzilla. I plan to build a scale tube frame rockcrawler with TLT axles after my 1:1 truck stops breaking every week.

i was looking at either a txt-1 or a clodbuster for crawling, but i decided that i would rather have a nitro. i think i am going to get a clodbuster anyway, just for crawling. make it the matching rc truck for the real rock crawler, just something to show off and play with on the real 4x4 trails and runs.

I have eight //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The best I have is my rustler 2.5. I'd bet on it having around 700-800 into it with still the stock engine (bored out to 2.6 though). It doesn't really run right now since I started using 40% fuel which was just too much for it. 100% carbon fiber chassis, shock towers, tiebar, brake "calipers" are carbon ceramic, brake disc is drilled carbon fiber, and basically it's been run on every surface. Not raced because it doesn't steer in corners above 40 mph (HORRIBLE understeer).
