official r/c car/truck pic thread.

I used to be all about rc cars until I got addicted to them. Now I just have one emaxx and a .90 size helicopter.

I paint the hell outta some lexan rc bodies though!!!

the TC3 is a team associated car, right?


MazPro just bought one, we were breakin it in last night, top speed of 40 miles an hour achived

Yea,Associated makes the TC3,which is pretty much the best touring racer out(well now TC4,I guess),since almost all the pro racers use.It's hella fast!

 

[SaaBaaDoo]

from what I understand the TC4 has all the good stuff on it that everyone was modding on the TC3's.

I sponsor a touring car racer here in town that runs Xrays. Those are bad ass!!!

i agree, the TC3 is way faster than my RS4, it was proven tonite

Does anyone have the Yokomo R/C drift car??Since I'm finished modding my P5,I'm gonna go back to R/C for little awhile..lol..I'm thinking of getting that next.

 

[DE31]

one of the drifting r/c cars in a video linked on this forum is the same car as my STI i think all it has is their wheels and tires. thats basically what you need for a drift car. although if your already planning to get a new car, i love hwo teh Yokomo cars look.

Really??No suspension set-up needed???Just rims/tires??I always thought in order to drift you gotta tweak the suspension like real drift cars.I would just do that w/ my TC3 but I don't want to touch the suspension settings because it's pretty much serves it's purpose as a track racer/street cruiser.

 

[DE31]

i drift with my TT-01 but i guess some suspension changes might be needed. i wont know. what i do know is that on their website it says that all you need to make it a racer is different tires so it may be the same reversed. let me see if i can find that video.

*edit* found it http://ja.metacafe.com/watch/56956/rc_cars_drifting/
its the purple STI at 0:46 and i think it shows up again later.

 

[vcinsanity1523]

new money pit , hpi rs4 3 evo, got a good deal for it new, and i've been having a blast with it already....until this morning.

a gas line got caught in the gears and pulled the in tank primer out, now it leaks so..... new fuel tank, new fuel lines, new fuel filter, and new fuel clamps, teh car should be runnin again in a couple of days

this is officially my first RC Car and my first RC Car repair...woot woot

I also have the RS4 EVO it has just been sitting in my garage for like a year brand new the engine is new b/c it was blown (running to lean) probably looking to sell pretty soon.... Although as soon as it gets nice out i will probably bring her out again lol
