I just picked up a 1/5th scale rc truck...

Anyone else in here into that size, or any RC in general?

 

I got a few crazy rc cars. But this that thing is sick! Big brushless or nitro weed wacker?

 

its a 26cc motor, running on 91 octane with a 25:1 2 stroke oil mixture!! I get close to an hour of run time per tank!!

 

I have a Nitro Street car and two off road cars i am in the process of building.

 

Nice!! What kind of cars do you have?

I use to race at RAMS RC club that races at Mission College. I started with an HPI and then moved onto a Serpent (both onroad cars with .12 motors in them).

 

That's awesome. Whole new realm of rc

 

I want to get a drifter.

 

Have you ever been to Sheldons Hobbies? They have an indoor drift track.

 

I got a big block Tmaxx, a brushless Associated T4 and a custom crawler. I think I need to step my game up.

 

I haven't been there. Is that in Milpitas?

 

Nah you dont need to step it up... just keep on bashing!! Its fun to mash through some dirt and grass though! The picture just doesnt do this beast justice...

Well I think its really San Jose, but its off Trade Zone I believe.

 

i have a Savage X. was a beast until i drove it off my highschool roof. LOL. only thing wrong is busted plastic strut towers and a cracked heatsink. upgrading to metal and beffier shocks. cant wait to get it up and running again. LOL

 

Im starting to think that there might need to be a RC meet soon?!?

 

I've had tons of nitro R/Cs...raced some 1/8 buggies a couple years ago. Definitely a blast, but even at a semi competitive state, it was expensive buying tires/fuel each week.

I also had a Baja SC SS which was a BLAST TO DRIVE! There were rumors of a 1/5 scale track being built at NorCal Hobbies, but the idea was shot down due to lack of interest. I ended up selling mine because I couldn't find any empty dirt lots.

Make sure to buy a KillerRC kill switch for your Baja. Even if you're using a 2.4GHz radio, you'd hate to lose the signal and have a 30 lbs truck ram into something/one lol. Also, pick up some limiting straps to save your shocks.

Check out this forum for more info on your Baja. Tons of excellent information here: HPIBajaForum


I miss mine =(

 

sooo down. LOL. i wont say no to being an 8yr old again teehee
