Re: RC guys

i got a used rc-18 1/18th for fun from Tuna. mostly bomb up and down the alley. Threw a 8000kv brushless in it. I should do about 50km/h on a 6 cell battery. Battery burns up fast though.

Re: RC guys

I have one of those little helicopters too (exact same as the one posted above). I never use it though so if anyone would like to buyit from me let me know. I'll sell it for super cheap as its just sitting in a box. It does have one broken peice on it right now that would be probably $4 to fix.

Re: RC guys

I've got the E-Flite Blade MCX too (same as Derek and Stefan). Fun little helicopter. I'd consider selling it as well. Someone buy Derek's, then buy mine and have two to play with. I'm getting more into RC airplanes now, but don't have of my own just yet.

Re: RC guys

I currently have.....

2 Tamiya Clodbusters 1 original and 1 super (I don't really use them much just wanted to build a collector)

1 Axial AX-10 Crawler

1 Micro desert (1/36th scale) truck with a brushless kit

1 3905 E-maxx (the fully waterproof one) running dual 4400mah batteries

1 Tamiya King cab stadium truck. Been trying to finish getting it put back together as I broke it about 15 years ago, just need to find all the parts in the basement now.

I had a heavily modded Traxxass Revo for a while but hated having a nitro truck so sold it and bought the E-maxx, having a lot more fun with it.


Hope the buggy is treating you well Stefan, I miss it sometimes.

Re: RC guys

I nabbed a Rustler vxl this weekend . beat the hell out of it . went though 2 sets of tires lol . seems like a good unit . but i might convert it to a slash since there seems to be more races for the slash . and we have a nice track here in town .

Re: RC guys

RC junkie right here!
I'm into RC 1/16 scale armor and RC aircraft.
I have a 1/16 scale Panzer III, a Tiger I, and a King Tiger; all with airsoft cannons which is alot of fun (not so much for the wife and the cats. Hehe!)

I am really big into the RC aircraft though. Specifically electric parkflyers and EDFs (electric ducted fan jets.)
I currently have a Bellancia Decathelon trainer, a Parkzone F4U Corsair, a Spitfire, a P51 Mustang, a F5E Tigershark, a SU-27 twin ducted fan, a F35 EDF, and a Parkzone SU-26 micro aerobatic aircraft.
Electrics have come a long way in the last 15 years. With brushless motors and Lipo batteries, they can match the performance of the nitros. One big advantage of the electrics over the nitros is they can be flown safely in any park and of course the price. Also, no messy fuel or maintnenace for electrics, just charge the battery and go.
