Like I said, does any body have them?
I have 6. 1 car and 5 trucks (I like trucks better can you tell?). My car is by far the fastest of what I own. It has been up to 60 mph and can beat my dad's minivan 0-60. I have gears to go up to 120 but the ratio was too tal and wouldnt do more than 2. I have a tubal frame chasis moster truck (being built), a clod buster, a HPI RS4 MT which is a four wheel drive monster truck, and a traxxas stampede. The stampede is tougher and faster than most think except for the gear box. If any one has any questions about this feel free to post them or IM me or e-mail me.
Chris

do u have any pics of ur cars?? I would be very interestred too see them.

I have an RS4 and a TL01.

I got a Traxxas Nitro Stmapede. I'm currently having trouble with it. It starts than stops. Its not getting enough gas, what should I do?

Hey car master! It's me, Dr. Dung! I came here like you said, this seems like a good place.

I got a Tamiya ta03 w/ Lancer body, Custom made fiber-glass chassis. I also have a Kyosho outrage buggy and a Trinity Spec racer, freakin flies!

note to MBTN,
[I changed your sig... if you don't mind :D]

Wow cool. Ill get some pictures and try and get them scanned asap. Except i need to scan mine at school cause im a cheap bastard right now.

i'll try and get some pics.. i have 3 HPI nitro cars, an HPI rs4 nitro, HPI nitro mini, and HPI nitro rs4 racer2

cool. Do you race and if so how often?

I have 2 Battery powered cars. I will throw some pics up this weekend. :alien:

I have a TL01 with a Skyline GT-R shell, when you cant afford the real thing these are a nice way to kill time and hang out with friends.
Peace.........
:eek:

:shocked: im suprised we have this many people that have them. Like i asked before, do any of you race?

No, although I am going to try to start this summer.

Im gonna start racing this summer because for the first time my differentioal is set perfectly. It slips for just a split second, then is gone. And it can do a figure 8 in half of my drive way, or about the width of a towncar.

I'm surprised that's so popular around here . . . RC cars are cool . . .

I always wanted one, but then again, I'm so fickle . . . I want it all.

Anybody remember the "Frog", "Hornet", "Blackfoot", "Mudblaster" . . . "Lobo" or somethin' like that . . . "MIdnight Pumpkin", "Monster Beetle" . . . I can remember so many of them . . .

I have a nitro rs42 which i love. I went to a track but due to crap tires i couldnt even compete, but another guy let my try his and I got the fastest qualifing lap.

I used to own a original blackfoot. thats not impressive cause i was just racing on an asphault track, with foam tires which are more for carpet use, and was keeping pace with the gas touringcars on the straits, and im still using a 27 turn motor. I was also able to pass them in the corners. And, this is with a cheaper reversible speed control, cheap steering servo, basic AM radio, and still the older 2000 cells, not even a 2400 pack. And the guy i was facing, was using a Airtronics M8, and i dont know what else but if they can afford a M8, they got to be using better electronics then me. Thats why today, i bought upgraded everything so i can really beat them.

I dont use them nearly as much as I did before I had a real car, but here they are, in the order that I aquired them:

1. Traxxas Hawk 2
2. Traxxas LS-2
3. Traxxas Nitro Hawk (sold a couple years ago)
4. HPI RS4 w/Porche 911 Carrera body
5. Tamiya Mini Cooper
6. Tamiya TA02 FF (yes, FWD) w/Honda Accord body

I raced the Hawk 2 twice at Fast Lane in Newhall, CA, and got 3rd the first time out, and 1st the second time out. It had an off-brand stock motor(27T), a Dynamite 1200 pack or something like that, and full bushings. I was about the slowest truck in my races, but was darn consistent. I love that thing.

The LS-2 was to be the racing replacement for the Hawk 2. That never happened because I promptly lost interest, and I never got the steering to work right. Last year I destroyed the front end off a bike jump and am having trouble finding all the parts.

The Nitro Hawk was ok, but the pull start took a crap three times and wouldnt stay fixed, so I sold it for $75 ready to run(doh!)

I got my RS4 I think the same year they came out or the following year, cant remember. It is a badass car, but I need to get some bearings for it.

The Mini was supposed to be a play around car, and that it was. I literally drove the wheels off(now I need new wheels and tires, hehe)

The TA02 is just like a small version of a real FWD car. Oh wait, its supposed to be. Alot more whippy than an AWD car.

Holy crap that was long. Sorry bout that, I just now found the R/C forum and had to introduce myself, I guess.

I have two R/C cars, one is a big red truck, and the other is a hummer. they are both slow, run on 4 AA batteries. they romp in the snow though. i want to get one of those $5000 mclaren ones though, those are fast!

Who makes that McLaren? Chances are you get get a car thats just as fast for quite a bit less money.

hey honda_guy, and welcome to the R/c forum. Sorry I've fallen a bit behind to say the least. if you have any ?'s bout them, ask me, i should know. You can see what I have, and i can tell u that my pan car is very fast, fast enough to keep up with the .15 nitro car with a 27 turn motor, not bad considering at the time, they had just as much money in his transmitter and servos than i had in my car.

I'm not exactly sure who makes the Mclaren car, let me go downstairs and check real quick. ok here we go, its on page 154 in the december 99 dupont. Tecnago makes itand its 3 feet long or 1:5 scale. holy cow, i don't know what i was smoking, they aren't $5000, the prices range from $1095.00 for the Extreme model and $1395.00 for the Competition model, and i'm guessing that all the bodies are interchangable. you can check it out at www.tecnago.com

I have a 7 year old Taimya Stadium Blitzer that is in need of a ESC, shocks/springs, rims/wheels, and a new body. Yep, it was abused :(

i bet my body on my stampede is in worse shape than yours. I have duct tape holding my doby together, is held on by 3 clips instead of 4, and has a huge crack on each side of the bed so there is barely anything holding the whole body together. ill get a new body for it soon though, cause i dont wanna show up at the track with this body.

ive got 1 rc car its a jp chadori buggy (cheap) with a team orion orbital 2 mach mod 21turn motor and a sonik eco 2 esc and a shitty 1300 batt. but tou would be suprised how fast the thing goes! but mainly i just have massive dougnut comps with my brothers tamiya fighter buggy rx. i'm still on my 1st set of tyres though somehow but since i got those upgrade a could of weeks ago my tyres are now almost bald. mmm think ill go have aniother go!

here's a pic of it (yes i know the quality is crap)

I have 2, waiting on a 3rd. I will go into detail better when I can think right. :)

hmm maybe i should remember what i write.....

Hi, I have a HPI Nitro RS4 with an Accord body, and Viper and a CLK. But the one I run every week:
FG competition 1/5 scale.
23 cc engine.
3+ hp.
4 wheel disc Hidraulics brakes.
Mercedes C180 Body. But soon with a Primera body.:sun:

I have also run in the past on a Serpent 1/10, but not anymore.

i finally got a pic of my stampede. I dont have the body on it cause its a piece of crap, but here the chasis.

and hers pic 2

Ok, here are some quick snipits of my cars..

Is that Alpha a Tamiya? If so, I have the same chassis on my Lancer.

I guess I should have explained better :D

He likes to chew anything made of rubber :) Even car tires, if he can :)

All I have is a little .21 powered T-MAXX, which by the way is a blast to drive.

Josh:devil:

I hate when the network is down, i miss so much. Anyway, have u ever raced either of them?

What else have u done to ur T-Maxx, joshmel? Also did u change the gears when u swapped engiens or not?

I have about eight RC cars. I am building two more as the ones I have are alright. I am building a pretty fast electric and a gas car.

Yeah, I did have to change the gearing a little. I usually use 22/64 or 66, and when I am racing my friends, or pulling each other I have used a 20, and an 18 tooth clutch bell. I have also bought just about everything that Hardcore racing makes for the truck, including there .21 conversion kit with the titanium chassis. The truck was a blast with the stock engine, but now I can never go back. I am looking into buying a Kyosho 7.5 inferno, as soon as I can convince the wife.

Josh:cool:

Here are two pictures of my Tamiya Primera. I havn't painted the body yet, as I want to do it right, and paint it to match my car exactly. hahah.
Enjoy

Cool, I'm glad that you changed your gears, there are many R/C ricers or so to say around here who do the engine swap but dont change their gears or do anything else and says that it can break 60 :rolleyes:. Ill post some pics of my other vehicles soon. I need to see if my roomie will let me borrow his dig camera for the weekend. Also I'll take some pictures of our project and give you guys a sneak peak at what we are doing. You will see it in RCCA when it's done. It's only part done now, but you can see what we have done. It will be next week at the earilest.

R/C ricers? I didn't know there was a such thing.

yeha i said that for lack of a better word.

Rc was fun when I was a teenager and it's still fun now that I'm a father.

I've got 4 cars.
1 Tamiya Fast AttackVehicle circa 1982, goes but gearbox etc will expire soon.
1 kyosho Rocky, chain driven 4wd buggy circa 1986 broken chassis that need fixiing sometime.
1 HPI Nitro RS4 2 4wd bullet with a 911 GT3 shell
and just on order 1 Schumacher SST Rally Evo 6 for a bit of fun at Christmas. I'll try to get some photos by the new year

Those are some cool cars. I dont know much about the first two you listed, can you tell me more about them?

Hi everyone
I have 4 radio controled cars. Which are a AE TC3 tourer (factory team spec)(honda body), AE TC3 Rally (team spec)(mitsi body), Losi xx (old but still good) and a FG Modellsport Marder Buggy(Large scale 23cc petrol)
I race the tc3 tourer and rally at the local model car club but the losi and the marder are just for fun.

Paul:smoker2:

And a pic of the Marder (together with the tc3 tourer) which has to be the best rc car Ive owner for sheer out and out fun.:smoker2: :smoker2: :smoker2: :smoker2:

I've got an old TA02 with loadsa hop ups and a chevy caprice police car bodyshell. I raced it for a season a few years back and to the other drivers surprise, i came second in the touring car class over the summer. Beating even the yokomos and associated cars, and with that brick of a body!
I then bought a gas conversion kit for it, with an alloy chassis and .12 engine + tuned pipe. Surprisingly, that is slower than the race car (in electric form)

Thats cool that you were able to win that much with it. I try to race but dont get much time, they don't allow my car to race anywhere around me, but a new off-road track just oppened up so I should be going racing this weekend or next weekend to give it a shot. If I do, I'll tell you guys how I do.

Heres my 4th gen Civic Hatchback.

This pictures about a year old, but nothing much has changed as i can't afford any mods at all. Stupid Weak New Zealand Dollar.

The mods i have done is install a new headunit, Panasonic cq-dp101, aswell as a new tailight the other week!!!
