Whats up I-club! I had an idea for a great meet!

Firs off I don't how many RC Car hobbyists are out there but if there are any would you guys be interested in doing a subaru/RC Car meet? Take a few drives somewhere and run RC?

I have a HPI savage X 4x4 and a kyosho on road racer. Both nitro.

There are a lot of good spots around the bay and the coast that are perfect for running RC. Any ideas would be great too!

So lets start off by seeing who has RC and would be interested to do something like this.

shoot.. i have a serpent impulse but the front of the chasis cracked off..

 

That is definitely bound to happen with RC!!!!! haha many of my chassis have been broken too. Just finally got both my cars runnin **** so i figured go out and use em'!

Well if you get it fixed let me know. Who makes the Serpent Impulse anyways?

Eli

 

I had a HPI Nitro RS4 (the first generation) with a third gen motor. I also had a FWD Tamiya Electric car. I traded them to Charlie (Onizuka) for an exhaust a couple years ago, lol.

I think it would be cool to get back into it. I was big into it in HS before I had an actual car.

 

haha.. i have a savage as well bought in 04.. haven't used it in a year. maybe i should see if it still works?

 

Sweet man!!! Yeah i was really big into it when i was younger til HS time. Hadn't done it in a long time!!! Recently got back into it. Its just a good way to chill and have fun. You should get back into!!!! And when you do let me know so we can get a meet together! Later!

Yes you should!!!! You should use some after engine oil before you start her up again, she has been sittin for a while! Let me know how it goes. And also if you would be interested in doing this.

Later!

I used to have about 10 @ one time. Some had about 2k in them (1/8th scale race buggies). I kept one, the Traxxas Revo. It never breaks and I can beat the living **** out of it. It took too much time to upkeep all those vehicles. Now I have a high perf real one so it takes most my time and money.

 

I have a Nitro RS4 2 RTR with a Novarossi 1 HP engine. I haven't started it in about 5 years.

 

Yeah me too bro. Big toys take a lot of my time now too. I have a 64 impala and my 05 sti. But i bought my house a year ago and finally got a workshop so i can goof around and have room for these RC cars now. Well if you feel like takin out the Revo let me know, lets try to get a meet going. Or at least a few drives somewhere.

Laterz!

Eli

 

WOW Thats a while! Sounds like a nice engine. I have a Kyosho FW-05T with a silver sti body. I put an .18 O.S. engine in it with a racing clutch (2 Speed). Thing mobs!!!! Well dust her off and fire her up!!!! Let me know if your interested!

I was down in monterey area a few months ago and found some really good sand dunes for mobbin'. Trying to go back. Right by the beach too.

Eli

 

hmm.... i may have to get my T-Maxx rebuild. motor needs work and need to buy new shocks, back flips=bent pistons. i am in if i find time to get it running again.

 

I've been into R/C for about 5 years now.

I have:
2 electric onroad
1 nitro onroad
1 electric rally

 

<--- revo ver 1....

 

Associated Electric RC18 R -Red EVO body haha 1/18 scale

Going fast with it sucks, it rolls all the time, so i leave the electrical tape on the tires
and drift through my house and on the dirt sometimes.

 

well serpent is the maker of serpent impule and what not. its a built to race gas car... a rc track car basically... i started it up and the servo was on full throttle and the batteries just died out and it just took of to the curb goin something that seemed like 60mph+ and the bumper/frotn chassis broke... its still able to run but just risky if i hit anything..
