OT R/C cars

Anyone into them just got hooked they are almost as addicting as reefkeeping

 

[lReef_lKeeper]

im nowhere near you, but i am VERY into them. the only one i have anymore though, is a Team Losi LST1 truck

be careful !! they cost about as much as reefing too !! i had a Team Losi 8ight buggy that was over $1000 ... got $750 out of, so the loss is not as great as reefing, lol.

if you are ever in Louisville ... hit me up, maybe we can go do some bashing !!

sweet right now i have 4 of them a t-max with the 3.3 a xtm xcellerator with a mamba max 7700kv brushless, a gs sut truggy, and a red cat racing tornado I did a bunch of trading that how I ended up with so many. I am actually getting rid of the 1/8 scale gs truggy its pretty much brand new but I like the t maxx much more

 

[lReef_lKeeper]

yeah, the trucks are so much more fun !! i use to race the 8ight buggy, but it just got to competitive and became no fun. i was in it for the fun, not to win. that little buggy would usually hit 80mph on the backstretch though ... and THAT was fun !!

now bashing ... that is just an all together good time !! flips, ramps 5' tall ... it doesnt get any better than that. what are you asking for the truggy ??

 

[jfl14609]

250 its pretty much brand new only 3 tanks through it but being that its a 1/8 scale its a bit harder to get parts for it. the larest most stores around here go is 1/10 scale

 

[lReef_lKeeper]

if you need parts ... www.asylumxtreme.com

they are local to me, but really a good place to buy. if you cant find the part ... they likely can.

let me think about the truggy ... i really want another truck !!

interested in a reef related trade ?? i have some nice aussie acan colonies, lol.

I use to be into R/C cars. I had a Traxxas Rustler that I raced when I live in New Mexico, I move to New York and did know where there was an outdoor track so I kind of feel out of it. The racing was fun but I love painting some wild body's I wish I had pictures of my car.

I have a stampede vxl. Dont get to use it to much anymore though with the new house. very fun and $ hobby.

 

[jfl14609]

thats actually the truck i want to get and convert to electric

 

[pimpinitup6969]

i used to have a mayhem 1/8 scale buggy that was wicked. also had a traxxas jato, nitro rustler, team associated rc10gt. the buggy was by far the most fun

I've got an HPI Savage SS. Haven't run it in years. I used to have a Team Associated RC10 and a Kyosho Raider.

They used to have an indoor asphalt oval and a two dirt tracks (oval and offroad) at a place out in Tonawanda near the golf course.

yeah seeing his pics make me wanna go buy something haha

and they make me want to get back into them !
you should see my most recent revo, has a EB Modded Novarossi 28 engine. Insanely fast!!

I was a 3Racing parts wholesaler for a while. Sold a lot of their parts on ebay. also why I was able to build those cars for cheaper.

Its a very fun addicting hobby although reef keeping has taken priority.

I used to race RC cars back in the early 90's when I had a FO tank, so I wasn't hooked on reefing yet, but I was WAY hooked on RC racing. I was so hooked that I lost my gf of two years over it. I was spending more time racing and preparing for racing than with her apparently. I raced indoors in california 2 times a week and for a whole weekend about once a month. I was only about 17 back then and I had a decent job waiting tables with no bills and an allowance from my parents still, I was spending ALL my money on RC.

I think now as were older they just got numb to our hobbies.
I know mine has. At least until she leaves me right.

by the way happy birthday in two days :celeb3:
