What do you have for RC car/trucks?

johnvosh · 04-03-2011, 04:34 PM

So what brand and scale of RC does everyone use/have?

I've got HPI and Traxxas. I have a 1/5th scale HPI Baja 5T, a Traxxas Revo 3.3, an HPI Savage XL big block, and a HPI Savage X with an Axial .28 engine.

*snoranger* · 04-03-2011, 08:58 PM

I had to vote for everything except Losi and 1/5th scale, but I own a fleet of cars and trucks I've been collecting since '87.

I Love this truck. It has a Lipo 2S with a Tekin FX-R speed control with a 35T Tekin Rock crawler motor. Also using a High Torque Hitec steering servo and a Spektrum DX3 2.4GHz Radio.

johnvosh · 05-04-2011, 03:11 PM

Just bought myself a brand new Traxxas Slayer Pro. Just need to break the darn thing in now.

johnvosh · 05-04-2011, 03:16 PM

Here are some pics of my collection. Have to also get around to cleaning the Revo!

johnvosh · 05-04-2011, 03:16 PM

.

johnvosh · 05-04-2011, 03:18 PM

And the Slayer Pro with a 3.3 engine and 2.4GHz controller. The only thing you need to buy with these new RTR RC's is Fuel and some AA batteries.

lounge lizard · 05-04-2011, 08:36 PM

here is my latest project that I have been working on for the past few years on and off as I can put parts together for it

and as I can make thing fit and work.

and now it working. I still have tuning to do and a battery box to build but for the most part it is a functioning R.C.

*Joe Dirt* · 05-04-2011, 10:56 PM

The two I have left-

Both Traxxas Slash's, one with the F150 body, one with the VW bug...
