rc build

[2002_lincolnLS]

bot sure if any of you are into the rc world at all. I used to be into it way more. Most of mine either quit working and cost to much to repair or became parts cars.

I still have 3 team Losi Mini-T's
A Traxxis rustler rolling chassis
A Traxxis Stampede
And I used to have my pride and joy, then it became to much to repair. a traxxis bandit (wasn't much of it left) with novak super sport brushless motor and esc lsd, and high speed steel gear steering servo (forget the brand) stock remote and receiver, it did about 45mph perhaps more with different gears


My current project is getting my buggy running again. It is a gas 1/16th scale buggy, I am turning into a street rod so to speak. The awd will make it really handle well and I am lowering it as well. Just thought I would share, I know I have been bored so perhaps you have too.

the camber is more of a joke than how it will be run

Pretty cool, I have a nitro-gas car that i know nothing about I have the remote and the car.

I know need the fuel and some kind of glow-plug....got it at yard sale today.

I've been into rc's on and off during the years. I currently have a Traxxas E-Revo Brushless Edition (serious power), Traxxas E-Revo VXL (1/16th scale), and a Traxxas Jato 3.3. In the past I had a Traxxas Rustler VXL but I didn't like the rwd, Spun out to easy.

The Jato is the only nitro one I have, its just to much trouble to keep them running properly. The new electrics are far superior.

that is some aggressive camber!

Nice! I have a slash with all RPM parts, 3 bodies, 2 sets of wheels, 2 lipos, and an aftermarket brushless motor. I also have a bone stock Losi mini late model, and a Jato that's in pieces, project that got put on hold. with no receiver.

I think the front end needs an alinement! I see some serious inside tire wear!! LoL


I really want to get back into the rc world again but there is hardly anywhere around here to run them anymore.

A lot of what goes into setting up the suspension and tuning of an RC car carries over into the big ones.

I used to do Nitro buggies and electric drag cars back in high school. They either self destructed in a crash or I got tired of constantly cleaning and tuning them. Nitro was a real pain in the ass because of the fuel and the mixed oil and the constant tuning. Nothing sucked more then having the damn thing spudder out and stall in the middle of the road half a block away. Had a RC10GT Nitro and a carbon fiber rat-rod drag racer. Sold them a long time ago and honestly haven't missed them.

What I've been into lately, that I've always wanted to learn, is RC Helicopters. Eventually I am going to get into first-person-view flying which will be AWESOME! Basically you put on video goggles and watch a feed from your plane/copter. Something like this: New York City - YouTube

No not mine.

Yes it is Parma Lexan body.

Mr. Chris Gorman on another site, LLSOC, dating back to 2004, I believe Quik LS also had one at one time.

Ah cool, I want a touring car so bad like a tc5 which is old but a good chassis to build on

 

[2002_lincolnLS]

well I got the motor in today, need a new glowplug and a couple other things but it should be together tomorrow and will hopefully have it running by Saturday as I need some parts and may have engine problems, not sure but it sat for a year and may need tuned. And I will be correcting the alignment that was a joke for another forum hahaha hellaflush

 

[2002_lincolnLS]

well with the gas car put together I decided to work on another one I have had sitting around, this on has a hand built chassis with a classic Johnny Express body, its running mall tires just for fun, it'll probably just run around the house.
