I still got my gas r/c somewhere. I wonder if it'll still start. I used to race them at castle hobbies in SJ when I was in highschool. 2nd place in the season in intermediate woot!

 

Where would you want to hold it at?

 

Makes me wanna bust out the cars again.... Fun times

 

depends on the number of people.

there are 2 places.

#2: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=3...04823&t=h&z=18

i see helo guys flying their stuff there every weekend...

 

Is that in SJ? I'm just waiting for some replacement parts for the DF03-ra they should be here by the weekend and I'm down for sure.

 

first 2 are in newark.

3 is by ardenwood in fremont.

let's go!!!!!!!

 

theres a track in union city...free admission...

not free. $10 to practice during non racing days.

unless they changed policies recently.

plus, i dont like their nearly blue groove 1/10 scale track.

 

#2 looks cool, open space and gravel too.

I crawled the shores of Folsom lake today, awesome rocks, lots of crawler tracks in the sand too! I wish I had a 1/5 baja to rip down the whooped out trails of sand and granite grit.

On that note, I think I am selling my Losi 1/18 crawler, stock, modified shock mounts with quick release high and low ride heights, and an extra battery. $160? is that a lot for a used RC? haha i dont know how to price em. I think I spent $270 out the door just a 6 months ago!

1/5 scale rally! These things would break your legs clean off!

first day out with my 1/5 scale, i ran over my foot.

never again...

 

haha ya rly. :39 on that video above...like someone chucking a weed eater engine at you, and a bowling ball that is also very hot, and could get long hair stuck in its axles as you roll it over your little brothers heads

Also some of those RC jets that are 10 feet long, i honestly don't know how those are legal unless youre flying in a HUGE area. Those things could kill!

 

1/5 scale cars usually use a.23 CC and up weed whacker engine. mine came with a .26

uses regular unleaded gas but requires 2 stroke oil, which is no biggie.


as for the airplanes, some places where you fly them require you to be member of AMA (modelers assoc for flying) since they have insurance as part of being a member.

and some of the real jet engines are nothing but shrunk down real jet engines that uses the same jet fuel...

here's a big b-52 that chrashed:

lol yeah its kinda nuts when it blows by. Im running brushless 9600 motor and lipo with 35 tooth pinion gear. I also had to run soft foam tires and remove the spoiler from my toyota torino body.

Sadly I lost control while it was almost topped out and it slid into a curb destroying most of the front left corner.

 

Lemme guess, Baja SS kit?
That's the one I got and it came with the .26 engine. Such a beast of an RC

 

nah... 5T...

plus i hate kits... lol...

RTR saved the hobby for me. my head nearly exploded when i had to put together my SC10...
