Anyone in to RC Cars, Trucks and Planes?

I haven't seen one so I figured I'd get a thread going for pics, videos, and discussion for the RC folks out there.

Here's some sweet shots I took of me and my boy bashing around my Traxxas UDR overe the weekend. Basically a full scale trophy truck.

We have a bunch of Slashes and an X-Maxx as well. Lets see what you got

I need a UDR so bad in my life!

I’ve been into rc helis for a long while and am slowly moving out of that hobby and back into cars/trucks. Sold my Goblin Urukay to feed back into the car scene.

First rc I bought was an Axial SCX10.3 kit and got that ready for crawling. Crawling is a ton of fun btw!

I still have my old Traxxas rally car (dog chase toy) and my Durango 408T that I need to get up and running again.

Edit: I don’t know why my pictures keep uploading upside down.

X-Maxx is such a beast!!

My boy has been asking for a crawler and we have a ton of awesome places to go with the Rappahannock River just down the street from my house. Lots of rock structure to goof around on. the UDR is easily my favorite truck ever. I'm 37 and have had RC's my whole life and nothing is a s fun as that truck.

That UDR is awesome! I haven't been into RC for a long time but a scale TT is exactly what would get me back in.

Haven't been into RC cars since I was a teenager but seeing these makes me want to get back in. I honestly don't even remember what I had back then, some kind of nitro stadium truck, was a blast though!

From the top down. HPI RS 4 Type 3 SS with a original new O.S. CV-R 12 engine. Purchased new in 2003. Losi XXX-S with a Castle Sidewinder 3 5700kv combo running 3s. Traxxas Rustler 1st gen found it as a kit and just assembled it with a Castle Mamba X. Still deciding on the motor. Agama A215 with a Werks Racing B2 21 engine with 5 tanks through it. This one is set up for competition racing. Lastly on the bottom is my first nitro car. A Ofna Ultra GT LX Pro. Bought new in 2001. Have upgraded the shocks, radio, converted to a rare 2 speed trans, cv joints front and rear, and a new dynamite 21 engine.

Love every one of these cars.

I haven't investigated RC's too much but after I stumbled on to "headquake" YT...I must say I'm intrigued!

^ i just saw one of a 67 gt500. very cool, lots of detail.

I have a Traxxas ERevo VXL brushless and the boy has a Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL. I run it on 6S with 75mph gearing. His is geared for 60 or so but has nowhere near the torque. My ERevo will do standing back flips.

I’m about to purchase the new Arrma Outcast 8S to join the fleet

I've flown since 2006, love it. Ive had Gas, Glow and Electric over the years. Brushless tech has come SOOO far. I actually just gave away a couple of my larger planes (6' wingspan - small for the indsutry though)

I actually enjoy walking out the front door and flying smaller ones in my driveway/cudlesac yard and it has a float option...

My roommate and I both have the erevo vxl.

Mines stock and does 50. He's seen 72 with his but it's twitchy as **** at that speed. Mines been down because a tire shredded and I haven't replaced it

I’m actually changing the gearing to 18/50 this weekend with steel gears (60mph). I want some of the torque back.

Mine was down for a month at one point due to a shredded spur gear thanks to self righting demonstrations. It amazes people but tears up the gear.

There were a few threads on these things but ill run down my collection below:

1 Axial SMT-10 Sport Mod
4 Tamiya Clodbusters - 3 retro racers and 1 CPE SWB chassis
1 Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin
3 Tamiya TA02's
3 Tamiya TT01E's
1 Tamiya TL01
1 Tamiya TL01B "mud truck"
1 Tamiya M03R
1 Tamiya M05
1 Tamiya M06
1 Kyosho Blizzard SR 2.0
1 Kyosho Mini-Z 4x4 Suzuki Jimny
2 Traxxas Stampede 2wd
1 Traxxas Stampede 4wd
1 Traxxas Slash 2wd Mod Class SCT
1 Traxxas Slash 4wd 1/8 e-buggy conversion
1 Traxxas Bandit "speed run" buggy - 5700kv + 3s
1 Traxxas Rustler full G10 /ANZA carbon fiber conversion
1 Traxxas TRX-4 Sport
1 HPI Sprint 2
1 Team Redcat / Jammin SCRT-10 Mod Class 4wd SCT

So 29 in total. I may have a problem.

Guess I'll have to stop doing that lol...

Opened the downstairs garage so I snapped a few pictures

Traxxas 2wd and Losi Raptor 4wd.

Losi is quite durable so far. Ran it into a concrete at&t box at full speed and it still runs fine lol.

Would like to get more, but holding off as I rather get more truck parts lol.

i raced with some local stuff back in the mid 90's with everything from 1/10th scale...1/8th...Bolink Legends...some drag racing and everything else but im slowly getting back into it. Picked up a 2wd slash about a year and half ago, threw a bunch of chassis and suspension mods at it then its been sitting on the garage wall for 8 months. My lipo's went bad from sitting so gotta order more and im about to go brushless on it. The this thing pops up......

double post some how

Yea I for some reason need that f450
