Any RC fans

[inteva6184]

No not rc injectors we already know about their company and their "great" higher cc saturated injectors. I am talking about RC vehicles planes, helis, cars, trucks and boats. Anyway post up some pictures of your gear. Wasnt sure if this belonged in gallery or off topic.

Here are a few of mine although I am scaling back a little bit.
This is my favorite a Ofna Hyper 8 with a brushless conversion. 54mph or so the android phone says in a tiny little parking lot ftw.




Duratrax Raze ST also with a brushless conversion. This ones a blast to drive but hard to keep the tires on the ground.




Next is my Traxxas E Revo it is also brushless.


A few of my 16th scale Vendettas these things are a blast to rip around they also do about 50. I am down to 1 now.


One of the helis that I want to finish building. Its a trex 450 clone


Another trex 450 clone this one flys not that I can.




Anyway these are a few of my rc's would love to see what you guys have.

I used to be a huge rc head back in the day, I started with a traxxas nitro stampede and then sold it and bought a t-maxx. You have a nice selection there.

[inteva6184]

Ahh yes the stampede was my first nitro rc too. Fun rc but I was always breaking it. Ive had a bunch of traxxas products the stampede the rustler 2 nitro revos and I still have 1 e revo and a 4x4 short course. I always say if youre newer to the hobby you cant beat the traxxas products.

[Subie_sleeper]

That's a few grand right there.

I was in the hobby for quite a while, then dropped out to put money into other hobbies. Real car & fish tanks LOL.
I'm in my 30s so I had ALL kinds of neat stuff. Kyosho Blizzard, full function snow cat. Tamaiya King Tiger tank, King Hauler semi & tanker trailer, several RC 10s & a few other buggies I can't remember right now lol. They all got sold off for ok money. Nothing near what I'd have liked to get though.
A few years passed & I tried getting back into it with a brushless E-Maxx & Losi Mini Lst. It wasn't the same without people to run with. Sooo I sold them both for about two thirds of what I paid for them & I'm out.
Seeing your stuff makes me want to get more..... DAMMIT

back in the day i had a grasshoppe and then an rc10.remember the clod buster was a huge big foot.i enjoyed mostly building them as i didnt really know anyone else who had them.

[Mr.2jz-GE]

i just got into the Rc HPI . I dont have a pic but here it is

[inteva6184]

Nice stuff guys. As far as the vintage stuff like the grasshopper theyre cool and people love em I think they are actually going to start selling them again. I also agree building them is as fun as driving them.

[dudewheresmycar]

im a fan of nitro cars. nice buggys you got there

[mcperson2k]

I have a monster truck down in the basement. I think its a Revo with a race engine? Its got 2 speeds, its pretty cool. I traded a computer monitor for it.. When I got it, I beat the living snot out of it until it wouldn't idle on its own... Sat in the basement for 2 years, last year I tried to use it, I could get it to turn on but it would smoke right away... so I drove it anyway (lol) and I think the snow killed the servo's... I been planning on tinkering with it but I haven't had time.

[boostedfury]

I have owned three total, but currently have two. First was a Traxxas Elec Stampede. Just did new wheels for it and romped and got bored haha and made the jump to a nitro on road car in the RS4 3. AWD and everything on a lil on road car was a blast. I sold it on ebay and got more than half back for it when I first got my SRT so I could get some mods! My most recent that I used as of last year and might fire up this year again is my baby, my HPI Nitro MT! Here are some pics!! I need to take newer pics bc last yr I added like black chrome wheels so it looks baller haha!!

[lester107]

I should grab a picture of my basement. My dad has atleast 20 planes and heli's down there. I used to be into flying then just kind of stopped when i turned 16.

I know he has at least one trex clone and a real one and said he can't really tell any difference between them.

DO IT!!!!!!!!!!


Nice HPI I like that style they are alot of fun to drive and handle well.

[mcperson2k]

This one is mine, I don't have a body for it but its goes 50mph which is pretty ballin... To bad I know nothing about them.

[inteva6184]

That is a T-maxx with I am pretty sure the factory 3.3 motor the 2.5 motor came with the same head but I dont think they offered it with that black plastic piece on top. Either way they are both great motors. If you need any help with getting it running right let me know.

[mcperson2k]

I know its not a 3.3, they didn't exist when I got this. I was told from the original owner that it was a 2.5 model with a 2.5r motor.

[Ducky 2.0T]

My buddies bought me an HPI Porsche last summer... I have since done a few different bodies and wheels (drift and regular)

Thing is a lot of fun..

Classic paint scheme with drift tires...


The other livery that I did for it with standard tires...

[inteva6184]

Nice I hear those 2.5r motors rip.

Ducky that hpi looks nasty I love the lip on those wheels.

[xdrift0rx]

now THIS is a thread i can relate to!

mcperson2k if you look at the side of the block it should said 3.3 or 2.5

Im in delaware and there is a motorcross place called Blue Diamond. They offer an on and off road track and i've been racing for almost 3 seasons now.

here is my car


its a schumacher MI4
hitec 7940 HS servo
orion 10.5
tekin RS
thunderpower 4200 40C lipo
^ this cost around 1000$ including a 2 channel DSM rx/tx.

we hit around 55-65 on the back straightaway, average lap times are 16-17 seconds.

even at 1/10th scale we get body roll ;)







here is a video of the B main at the track.

(tried to embed it but failed horribly)

I TQ'd and crashed first lap(purple car with silver wing) but got lucky and worked my way back up to win the race.

[inteva6184]

That looks like alot of fun. I wish I had a track like that around me I want a 1/8th scale like a ofna dm-1 but theres no place to play with them around here.

[rocknrace03]

oh have i spent my fair amount of cash on these things =] total blast! the only one i still have is a rc18 mini late model =]

brushless, castle creations 5000k motor, awd....rips!
