Anybody like RC cars?

[Alligator]

My wife bought me a Slayer for my Birthday this year, drove the piss out of it (i.e. broken and in the shop...) so I had to buy another one to keep me busy.

HPI Baja 5T 1/5th scale truck with 26cc 2 stroke

And it standing up with my 9 year old to give you an idea of size

And against a 16oz. water bottle

They look fun.I would like to have one that looks like my truck and I heard you can make them smoke black.

Yeah, they have diesel conversions for the Nitro trucks. www.davisdieseldevelopment.com

They even make aftermarket rods for the added torque...

back in the day I had a few a clod buster and a black foot, that was b4 i met my wife (she made me give up my toys) but ive been wanting to get back into it for a while now!

Ah, she thinks it's a good hobby for me. It keeps me around the house at night, and I get to be with the kids. They love it... When I get the Slayer back, it's going to my 9 y.o., and I'm getting my 6 yo a Slash Electric for his 7th birthday next Sunday. Then we can bash the yard together

Those are the famous last words :rofl:

I have a nitro powered one that sits in the garage, mine was a money pit.

When I lived i Japan I got into them. I have a gas powered one and battery one. But they have been out in the garage for a long time. Need to pull them out and have fun with them again some day.

Yeah, I had them when I was younger, but sold or broke them. Not much to do during the week up here after work, so it passes the down time. The Slash I'm getting for my 7 yo is water proof, so it'll be used all winter Sand Paddles and ski mounts for the front, and it'll go anywhere.

My son got a Traxxas Slash(2WD Stadium Truck) for his B-day. Its more fun than I thought it would be, so we modded it today with a Velenion brushless motor and ESC kit and a gear swap. Going to upgrade to a Li-Po battery so it will hopefully go 65 or 70mph. Dad is sick and can't leave anything alone.

Might have to go "Borrow" my brother's RC.

Yeah, I know. I'm already looking for hop up parts for it... Before I even had my Slayer for 1 day, I had already ordered new bead lock wheels, new tires and a new intake. This one already needs new tires, so of course a few more things are going to end up in my shopping cart :angel:

 

[DmaxHawk]

I have a E-maxx and a team associated truck collecting dust in the garage. Now that I see the diesel conversion, I'm seriously thinking about getting back into it. Had loads of fun playing with those things. :happy2:

 

[DmaxHawk]

Might order one tonight actually now that I see how cheap they are compared to duramax parts

 

[Alligator]

haha:spit:

 

[DmaxHawk]

DD.com r/c diesel team anyone?

 

[Alligator]

I'm in. My Slayer is having motor problems right now anyway. Good time to switch to a diesel...
