[LiL_JaSoN]

Whos into this hobbie? Nitro or electric? and what type.

If so post a pic, what have you done to it, etc etc

[.:MARK:.]

i havent got one, but for my yr 12 subject, "System Electronics"...
our whole year's project is to firstly purchase an RC car, that is valued at 300 or so... then for school, do whatever you want to it!!!... eg: put on LED's as neons, indicators, fog lights, break lights, sound cards, even a mini flame thrower! im looking forward to doing this, and we even get to go to the Motor Show as an excursion, maybe at the end of the year il post pics up of my work.

Used to own a nitro MTX-2 w/ a Nova-rossi engine...

[LiL_JaSoN]

ahh :P mugen seiki MTX2. I was going to get a MTX3 a while ago, but parts for the MTX3's wernt that big in australia.

Novarossi engines are sick. Iv got a Nova Mega SX12R 5 Port Turbo.

Ill post pics of my nitro soon. =) good to play with since the weather is good. =) just roam my carpark down the street and you get all these little kids coming. arg they are annoying.

[petermicha]

I have always wanted a R/C car, Nitro preferebly, but never got around to it, aswell as the price range.

[siKk_aLbAnIaN]

eyy i luv rc cars i have a colletion of then as well as i build em... so if n e 1 needs to no somting u gota ask me..

[siKk_aLbAnIaN]

ill take some fotos of my R/C's n put um some piks...atm im building a nitro monster truck its 1/8 scale which is pretty big ...by the time i get it up n running its estimated speed is 70km/h but it woob b much faster if i tune the engine and use 15% in ma car..

[LiL_JaSoN]

=) I run 20% nitro on 1/8 monster trucks, and 10- 15% on 1/10 touring cars.

Im also building up a 1/8 monster truck ;)

[petermicha]

nitro are sickk

[Tommy 'O' Groove]

My friend has a 10th scale car. But I don't know wtf that it..lol...:)

[LiL_JaSoN]

[Tommy 'O' Groove]

Is it faster?.........like is yours faster then a 10th Scale

[.:MARK:.]

im looking for a rc car that has a lot of room to put adjustments in it for school like i said in my previous post, i got to spend like 300 on the car itself, so has anyone know any cars that have alot of room in the body?

[LiL_JaSoN]

1/10 touring cars are slower then 1/8 touring cars..

but touring cars are much faster then monster trucks (the one i have), and way lighter and smaller..

But you can make the monster trucks go as 100km/h if you have the right setup and gearing

and what do you mean by 'alot of room to put adjustments in it for school..'

[.:MARK:.]

look at what i said in the second post in this thread.

[LiL_JaSoN]

Electric or nitro?

If nitro, ull be looking at buying a 2nd hand one for $300

[.:MARK:.]

electric.

[LOVEJ]

Well there isnt really much to an electric car!

While all your idea's on paper sound great your going to need a fair bit of cash and realistic idea's to get something [good] off the ground!

Your best bet would be to load it up with an MP3 player tear apart those tacky ipod speaker things and mount them somewhere.

the car is not completed, as i just took everything apart to rebuild the diffs and shocks and put in a new clutch.

[shaheen]

Considering the WRX is banned from alot of drift competitions in Japan cause its too good, I can understand why.

[shaheen]

Where'd you get your drift nitro from? and how much was it?

[italian_shuffler]

hahah thats why i love them

[LiL_JaSoN]

u can basicly drift with any car. just have the right tire, suspension set up.

i got a nitro rc and setted it up to drift. but i much rather a electric for drifting because of the high torque compared to nitro

like the modifications nice double springs

[HoUs3 Hi+Ch3r]

heres mine

[LiL_JaSoN]

double springs are stock. just upgraded it to aluminium and a shorter shaft to i can better handling when i race, and to lower it to stop it from wheelie'ing so much.

modifications are
-bigger engine (.28)
-3 speed tranmission
-aluminium clutch shoes
-aluminium diff cups
-airtronics 94358 servo (digital, metal geared, faster, and more torque servo)
-motor saver air filter (stock airfilter was too small)
-titanium dual disk brakes with carbon fibre pads
-1.6" extended, 50mm thick chassis, with lower centre gravity (helps handling and jumping, stops the truck from wheelie'ing)
-lighter wheels (806grams, compared to the stock rims which weight about 1.4kg)

and more.. basicly, nothing on this truck is stock haha
