RC Clubhouse!

[Skitzo]

Thanks bro , it was fun mak'n them

Edit: lol, posted before I was finished lol

yeah, it's asweet piece of alum no doubt

Your revo is look'n crazy man

that cage should help alot, gonna protect your gear and stiff'n up the chassis :toast


your diff setup it sweet, can't wait to see how it performs

something I noticed is the pillow ball dust boots work great for covering the carb on my picco, a lil bolt in the hole and it seals up tight

you offered, so I'm ask'n ... what have ya done to them?

I'm wondering what the truggy will be like next year

thanks for shar'n your pics





I toy'd with the idea of a throttle cable linkage but now I'm leaning more towards positioning the speed servo beside the mill

 

[Conti027]

Does anyone have one of the blade MCX

 

[infrared]

I've flown one in the shop, I want one now! They fly great! very stable.

 

[intel igent]

last time i was at the LHS one of the guy's was flyin' around the store with a cx2 i believe, man they look like fun! i'd like to fly one but i'm pretty shure it wouldn't last long

 

[intel igent]

i been buisy in the garage with my RC's thankfully now it's warm again and i can make some noise

the REVO has a picco red dot, dynamite 053 pipe, RRP trans gear's, RRP diff's, RD racing knuckle's, RC solutions roll cage, HiTec 7955 steering, ace1015 T/B, OFNA 1/7 250cc fuel tank and a futaba FASST Rx. the matrix FRE is running an OS .21rg, OFNA 063 pipe, HiTec 5625 steering, traxxas 2075 T/B and a futaba 303 Rx

the st-1 is running an OS 30vg, THS 8015 pipe, JRz650mg for S/T/B, 6 shock's for now while two more are on route and stock traxxas TQ2 Tx/Rx. the other matrix FRE is running FULL factory hop-up's, a self modded mach 427, THS 8015 pipe, LOSI 8b shock's, st-1 150cc fuel tank, HiTec 7955 steering, ace1015 T/B, futaba FASST Rx

i have another truggy coming, a CEN matrix FRE actually and i will be converting it to a CORR style truck using part's from the 21rg equiped matrix buggy. i will be using a LRP .30x for the engine and a HiTec servo combo along with another futaba FASST Rx. i'll post pix as i go along

 

[infrared]

Nice collection you got there! Those LRP engine's are great, that matix will rock when you're done!


I had a good weekend flying
Sorry, the aspect ratio of the vid got a bit screwed up while uploading

[sneekypeet]

sweet run ir, you seem to have a good handle on that new plane!

 

[infrared]

Yep, starting to feel a lot more comfortable flying it now. I'm saving for a new engine though, need MOAR power!

I've also signed up for an aerobatics competition in september so need to step it up a gear.

 

[intel igent]

thnx infrared i'm getting there lol i hope to add a 1/5 scale to my collection sometime this year

some nice piloting there IMO unfortunately i don't have the patience/dexterity to fly maybe oneday?

i was speaking with the guy i did my last deal with and he say's i should have the truggy by tomorrow! gotta love express shipping let the fun begin!

 

[andrewsmc]

Rise from the dead!!!
Hey everyone just got me a new TTX650 and a 540qq. My buddy has a beaver that has the go pro on it and we have been taking videos. Maybe I will upload some in the future. Let's resurrect this thread!!

 

[eidairaman1]

You better upload vids lol

 

[sneekypeet]

Still have not really got back into planes, but @AthlonX2 rekindled my love for RC.

Now I have four 4X4 10th scaler SCT style trucks, an 8th scale 4X4 Monster truck, and then I have two smaller choppers and a larger one.

This thread is super old, but some hobbies never die!

 

[eidairaman1]

Threads like this should be pinned

 

[Conti027]

I got into short course racing at the local RC track but then I moved an hour away, so I haven't done much in a while in terms of RC.

 

[Sasqui]

From a recent RC jet rally I went to at Sanford, ME, most ground RC these days seems to have morphed to batteries and electric motors. And how about UAV's?

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

Cool Thread. I have flown RC Helis for about 8 years and have recently got into Quad and Multirotor FPV. I can get pretty acrobatic with the heli's and I really enjoy the super fast low flight FPV quad racing. It's like jet bike racing in starwars on endor. lol.

I fly with a Spectrum DX8 for my choppers and have a - Blade MSR, Blade MSR x, Blade NCPx and Blade 450 3d and an older ThunderTiger Raptor.

I have a Walkara Tali H500 hexacopter using the Devo F12e controller and Skyzone FPV Goggles with custom antenna and also a Blackout Carbon Quad all custom built which I also fly with the DX8 and the Skyzone goggles.

Fun stuff!

 

[mxthunder]

Anyone still do RC on here? Stepped back from PC gaming for a while, this addiction has hit me hard since about July! Lots of fun, but almost as expensive as buying nvidia GPUs lol.

 

[Space Lynx]

@mxthunder my fav rc car as a kid had four giant wheels, so I could flip it over all the time at full speed or most wrecks and keep going, I remember having a blast with that.

 

[JrRacinFan]

@mxthunder nice collection you got there. I got a couple brushless Arrma trucks, a 2wd Vortex and a 4wd Granite, a brushless tt02 with drift options (gyro and a few gearing changes), and a couple of the little LaTrax rallies, one is brushless with ball diffs from an RC18T the other also drift with locked rear diff and modified body posts to fit a Nissan FairladyZ body.

EDIT:

I need to replace the batteries and charger in all of them. OH The bigger models also have a Spektrum TX with 10 model memory. 1 transmitter to rule them all. Was looking at getting a nitro 4x4 truck but cost of the fuel is steep.

 

[freeagent]

The last time I stepped away from PC was to get into RC lol

Started with a Nitro Revo 3.3, ran a bunch of gallons and a couple of motors before I converted it to electric. Had the nice carbon chassis, Ti skidplate, kept the 2 speed with Robinson steel gears, was a nice setup, then got a real electric Revo, then the mini Revo, Savage Flux, MBX5T Pro Spec, MBX5B ProSpec, which I also converted to electric lol. I still have an MBX5B, and enough to make a few more. I have enough stuff to probably make another Revo. Next summer my boys and I will get into a bit more. I Still have my Hyperion charger, and power supply.. not sure if I can use it anymore though.

 

[JrRacinFan]

MBX5T Pro Spec

Such a nice kit. Bet you had alot of fun with that.

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

I handmade a fixed-wing RC plane. Gave it enough power for 3D, on a high prop pitch and a thick, low aspect ratio wing. It got halfway to takeoff speed when it torqued itself onto its side and broke into many pieces.

Haven't touched any of it since.

 

[mxthunder]

The rest of my family (grandpa and uncles) were in to RC planes. I was initially interested, but for that exact reason stayed away. Too easy to destroy and waste hours of hard work. With the cars, you can send them 30 feet in the air, and worst case break an A-arm or something that costs a couple bucks and 5 minutes to fix.

 

[Remeca]

I have an Arrma Gorgon upgraded to 3s brushless, an SCX24 with too many mods to list, and an off brand 1/10 crawler modified beyond recognition.

 

[mxthunder]

Got bit by the crawler bug this winter too. Its too hard not to drive anything trapped in the house. Modded the heck out of a TRX4M bronco. That and the Micro-b keep me entertained.
