RC cars and monster trucks

Inferno · 07-05-2010, 09:14 AM

Anyone into them? I am cleaning up and doing some maintenance to my trucks. I still have an original Blackfoot and Traxxas Nitro Rustler at my bothers I have to pick up.

In the pic is a Traxxas E Revo(Novak 4.5 HPpro brushless) and a HPI Savage Flux. The Savage Flux is downright NASTY on 6s Lipo batteries(two 3s).

I have a Traxxas nitro rustler converted to mix street/dirt duty, an HPI RS4 and a Tamaya Hornet that I was trying to rebuild at one point. I also have a ton of parts for 1/8 nitro buggies that I played with for a while

I have my late husbands here haven't played with them as I have no idea how to fix itif it breaks. Thinking of asking my nephew if he would like it or maybe Shons dad as I think he would use them.

I started with the nitro Savage, but didn't like the hassle of a gas when I was living in an apt. Got the E-max and liked it a lot, still sitting in my basement. Haven't run it in a long time as other things were more of a priority to me.

My son wanted one when he saw that I used to race when I was younger, so I got him a few of the X-Mods from Radio Shack...Now I think we will start moving up. I used to run a Modded Luchbox, Blackfoot and my fave was a kyosho Rocky with a wicked 540 twister and aluminum chassis. I was the first in my area to run an electric speed control, so that should tell ya how long ago that was. I need a couple of monster trucks to bop around the yard and pull my RC boat.

When I was growing up there was an RC track in the middle of a salvage yard near my house. I had an Associated RC10 and a Shumacher Cat 4WD that I used to race. My favorite was my Clodbuster though...

I always wanted to get into R/C planes, but damn that's an expensive hobby. I'll keep my cash for the bike hobby.

I want to do that to my Nitro Rustler, maybe put a TRX 3.3 engine in it and some street tires, wont be anything close to as fast my Savage Flux, but it will be quick
