RC Cars

[mudcow007]

Anyone into RC cars on here?

I have an ancient fwd Tamiya chassis with a skyline body on in my office which i'm going to to try an resurrect

Just looking on eBay has rekindled my need for a "Sand Scorcher"

[colink98]

Not recently...

one of my son in laws did a few RC bangers races last year.
said it was top fun.

Ride it like you stole it.

Not for years

If it's a R32 Skyline shell, they're worth quite a bit now, my (now Ex) missus threw mine out

My first decent RC car was a Sand Scorcher I bought second hand, complete with the sealed body

I had a Tamiya Toyota Celica GT-Four when I was a kid, I still have it somewhere, it has a HPI Lotus Exige shell on it right now. I also have a brushless Associated SC10 trophy truck which is flipping awesome. I haven't used it for three years though, my LiPo's swelled and I've not bothered to replace them.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I had a Tamiya Super Sabre 4wd at age 11-12. I got back into it again when I was about 19 and put a new faster motor and better speed controller and battery pack in it.

Can't remember how much I sold it for in my early 20's with a box full of spare parts and tools. But I went though a stage in my 20's of selling all my stuff, my Fantic Trials bike, an inflatable dingy with a Yamaha outboard, and a load of car parts for Metro's and mk1 VW polo's.

I have a tatty old Tamiya Madcap.
Apparently its vintage.

Years ago I had the complete Traxxas Revo family along with a FG Marder. Kids came along and lack of space meant I sold all but the 16th Revo which I still bring out every now and then.

Used to race 1/10th touring electric at a local club but moved away and lost interest.

[bittermuch]May get back in to it, but even in my early twenties I couldn't compete against the younger lads who had begun to get themselves shop/supplier sponorships and had all the best gear [/bittermuch]

[mudcow007]

Just bought an old Tamiya Frog - looks to be a wreck.

hoping to turn it into something like this

I've got a TT Sledgehammer S50 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ1LCZvgZuo ) - had it for a fair few years now.
8.2cc with a 2-speed box (plus reverse)- can go over pretty much anything, good fun in the woods or on the beach.
It's too noisy though, quite fancy an electric one.

Like James I raced and still have a 1/10 touring car.
I have an Xray T4 at the moment but had a schmacher 13.t

I won my first season I raced in my class, but the next class up is much faster. I don't do it frequently enough to get better. I'd be slow now.

I raced full size cars so doing everything backwards.

I did not have the funds when I was younger. I'd like to learn a bit before my son is old enough so I am informed.. Did some kart race testing this year but to do anything properly is not cheap.

I don't think you need sponsors or the best kit when you are good. I think it helps when you trying to beat good people.

Had a Tamiya Super Hornet as a first car loved that, great fun.

Then I had a Tamiya Izuzu Trooper, a Tamiya Renault Alpine A110 and finally some crazy nitro powered Clio V6 with an anodised blue aluminium chassis. That thing went like poo off a shovel!
