My Old school RC10 with alot of aftermarket, including titanium turnbuckles. I have a Nitro RS4-3SS (can't find pics). what a nice aluminum work you have there...and the classic RC10, I have one here also but disassembled. Iv got an RC R35 GTR, not as big and cool as thos, but its fun to play with in the garage :P altho I have more fun racing real cars ;) :lol: i agree with you, but the sound, smell RPM's are incomparable! Here's a few old one I also have laying around. Old Bolink Pan car. Nitro RS4-3SS (G35 body), and my old RS4 for display only. Does that Bolink have a 2 speed tranny? i have a tmaxx that i put a 2.5r on it goes good i never got into racing them though i need to get my easy start hooked up :P I also have to repair my home made starter box. i have an assosiated t-2 ..i havent touched it in probably 5 years batts went bad and i never got new ones....i also have a never been started gas motor i got for xmas one year Maybe thats the same amount of time that mine has been sitting around, gotta get some batteries again.

Hyphy Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) I bought and built a cup racer last month. Already had a T-Maxx and bash the hell out of it. After the cost of the chassis ($209), a servo for steering ($20), Novak GTB/SS brushless motor and speed control ($259) and Spektrum 2.4gHz transmitter/reciever ($129)....the lil mini cost me more than a brand new ready to run ..well anything. Now add the costs of batteries, body paint, misc tools... Oh yea... you can go cheap on batts and get NiCDs but they dont last long and NiMH are $50 - 60 for a good size and LiPO's are $130... dont forget youll need to solder you own battery connections on...youll need solder, a solder iron, the connector, and 2 more hands. Basically it was fun to build and look at, even to roast the slicks they send with it...but it was not fun to pay for. Ill probly end up tradin it or sellin it real soon. I could get a brand new revo 3.3 and parts for what I paid for the cup racer. Ill likely end up keeping the Tx/Rx and get a Traxxas Slayer 3.3 or T-Maxx 3.3. Oddly enough, the Slayer is a revo chassis but $120 less...at my LHS. Edited August 4, 2009 by Hyphy Quote Link to comment

rzrdisco Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Losi XXX-NT... I can't stand the smell of nitro fuel, it makes my nose cringe and eyes water! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Oh noes.... I got an AX-10 to waste time with. It's pretty damn fun. When I first got it. After a body respray. Got a track in my backyard and I figured out what to do with all the old bricks from my front patio. :D Of course that led to breaking parts, had to buy steel drivshafts for it.. The stock body is pretty trashed now. I need to get another one to get me through until I can get my Jeep body finished. Real cars take precedence over the toy ones. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I was interested in this for a while but never started. I do have a vintage orange 240Z RC car with bad batteries. Never ran it myself. Quote Link to comment
paradoxx Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I want my cup racer 510, but not a battery powered car...... because I looove the nitro smell.....so, as I want a nitro powered Ive already bought the 510 body to fit any other chassis. Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I was given a Kyosho buggy for Christmas when I was 6 or 7. My uncle bought one for himself the same year. Thanks dad. Later i fixed it up and bought the HPI RS4 Rally. I love this. I have a cheap truck too that I've dumped gobs of money into. And a couple Radioshack X-Mods. Quote Link to comment

jefe de jefes Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 and my HPI cupracer/drifter Datsun 510,ofcourse and a small video i made, kinda sucks, but oh well,lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OScLJa2hpWU That 510 is pretty cool.
