the only car missing is my micro rs4 which is in a box somewhere and currently undriveable since im missing a bunch of parts from it...but it has an r34 skyline body...

damn me breaking my digicam...only camera phone pics...
 
The traxxas reminds me of that Revo. that thing looks soo nice. i want one but im saving up money for other stuff at the time...
 
Nice, that's quite a collection. When I had my Maxx I bought a roll cage so I could run it without the body and not muck everything up, hands down one of the best cheap mods.
 
yeah...its awesome to have a rollcage...before i bought it, i launched the maxx off a hill and it landed on its roof, therefore crushing the fuel tank...the only problem with the rollcage is that one of the supports interferes with the rear suspension, so thats y i have it off for the moment until i figure out how to work around that...
 
scratch the civic body, the stratus and accord bodies always handled, from the last big yearly sedan race, the reedy race for touring cars, the mazda 6 body is been known to be a good handling body.

yeah...i kno...but the civic body is just a show body since i basically retired that car...same thing goes with my rx-8 body on the nrs4...thats the show body, but the rsx is a thrasher body and the silvia is an unused race body...but i think i might bring the tc3 back into active status...probably with a mazda6 body...

haha...yeah...the silver was part of a plan i was cooking up to make it match my p5...i also had extra silver paint so i just said **** it and painted 2 bodies the same color...u gotta admit, it looks pretty good...i should probably paint my next body black so that i can get a whole stealth look going...
 
does anyone use electric cars anymore?

i have some brand new motors from about 8 years ago i never opened, i believe they are trinity motors, but not 100% sure

if anyone uses electric i would take some pics and post them for sale cheap here:)
 
well, if i get my tc3 running again i just may consider picking one up from u...i dunno if my speed control could handle it though...
 
NoRotor throw some info and prices up, I may be interested, I have two cars now (thanks to Bartron), so I might need a brushed motor.
 
sorry guys, I don't have the money to go nitro, but X-mods keep me & my friends entertained

these pics are kinda old, sorry. just wanted to share.

the yellow skyline is mine, fastest one on my block. I won every local "tournament" then decided to retire when the new style x-mods came out. i even have some camera phone vids of or most interesting racing moments. lol

Took me a little while to find them, but i found them

I have 2 unopened motors, i am not selling these until I post the proper pictures in the FS section. my camera batteries are charging right now

Here is what the boxes say:

They are both Reedy Associated Modified motors

1. #302 Conquest 27 Stock, 36 Degree
2. #300 Fire Hawk Stock, 27 Turn

There is also a resistor and a manual in each package

They both have a $36 price tag on them, but obviously I'm not going to ask near that much

Let me know if these are any good and what they would be worth cause I have no idea, thanks:)
 
(cool) thread...Man...I still remember those RC names like clodbuster and midnight pumpkin (don't they still sell those?)...I had a friend who would always tell me about the RC10 back in the early 90's...I had an RC car with a lot mods for a while but once I started take driving lessons for my permit I lost interest in them...I mean if I'm going to spend a lot of money on a car...I don't want to use a damn joystick to drive it! :D

That said...I can't resist popping into Hobby stores whenever I get a chance...Anybody have those motorized model TANKS?

How much money are you guys dropping into these heavily modded RC cars?
 
about 1500ish not that much compared to some of you crazy RC car freaks. could of spent that on some nice wheels and tires...

Total into this hobby, I've spent more than I put into my protege5 + what I paid for the protege5 easily. It's a money sapping hobby.

My HPI Hellfire cost me $600. Then I removed the junk readio/servos/reciever and added a $115 steering servo + $40 throttle servo + $80 reciever + I bought a new starter box which was $100 + about a couple of hundred dollas worth of spare parts(wheels/tires,bodies, etc). And I just got that truck about a month ago.

The truck below it, Sportwerks Mayhem ST, cost me over $1500 so far and still climbing............plus the other cars i have.

Gas isn't cheap either @ $25 a gallon.

This hobby will nickel and dime you to death.

Did that too. $2300 on chrome anteras back in '96. Stole the car 2 weeks later. Then $2000 on 17" Fittipaldi Lagunas when 17 inch wheels first came out. Someone stole those wheels a year later. (boom07)
