A $6 dollar wonder!

[xmodsupra01]

Well i bought some random hummer RC for like $6 and its pretty cool... but its not an xmod. Well ima change that. What i plan on doing is this. I recently retired this RC rally car i had because the steering broke. Well i took its rather large wheels off(about the size of the palm of your hand) and im gonna put it on this hummer. (also the size of just your hand) And my dad said he could help me redo the motor and circuit board to program it like a xmod. SO this will be interesting and it will have a stage 2 EVO motor in it if all goes well. And i will try to post pictures of the Hummer RC and the parts that will go on it but i cant promise because my camera is jacked and im having to use my mom's.. So i will update as soon as possible but most likely post in the one of the actual xmod forums instead of here. Thank you for your time.

you obviously dont read. I said my camera is broke. Kinda hard to take a pic of something without a camera:p

[BART]

Sounds cool, keep us updated and post pics when you get a cam or get yours fixed.

[GearHeadV8]

sounds pretty cool cant wait for the pics :)

[tayyab]

Not bad.
But a stage 2 running tires the size of your hand? Good luck with that...

And if you didn't have a camera. Simply post when you do. Becasue otherwise there really isn't any point of posting this thread until you post pics

Later, T.I.M

[kendallcschm]

i suggest neo mags if your gonna run big tires

Forums are useless unless you're a photographer then. Its a message rather than a picture board for a reason, so 2nd what BART said.

ok dude why did you read it then? seriously im not gonna explain the whole thing again. You obviously didnt waste 30 seconds readin of you just dont read well.....:bigwink:

UPDATE: My camera is still not fixed so im just gonna wait and buy one later... PLUS my mom wont let me use hers because its real "expensive" or whatever.. But im still waiting till i can get started because im using this same car for this RC race track thats at my school's fall fest.. but after that happens im gonna get started on it right away.

I used too actually! But....the thing is... it just quit on me and now i have a RAZR which doesnt have a memory card slot to transfer pics too. My dads USB For the RAZR doesnt even work with it. Reason is its OLD-AS-CRAP lol

[mycrors4]

if u can send pix messages.. send the picture to ur e-mail?

[mr.hotrod]

or text them to photobucket...

[GearHeadV8]

the razor has a slot...its behind the battery

[reaper]

or use the bluetooth

or a webcam or a scanner the list goes on

we arnt being nasty here but think about it ,anyone could come on and say " hey iv built the best car every it runs on 15 lith cells and does 20000 miles an hour ....but i dont have any pics "
get my point

I have to admit this story is sounding a little fishy. You don't even tell the brand of the RC or the store you bought at.

i think that i know what RC he's talking about. there are some 1/28 at wal-mart for $6 and there's a white f150, a hummer, and some old street rod. i was looking at the chassis and it seems to be the typical cheap blocky chassis with straight spring suspensions and a 130 motor.

Thats exactly it dude.... I just didnt know what the scale size was. It

\\well sorry i dont have a camera or a phone that can transfer pics to anything. Like i said my camera is completely broken (threw it away) and my phone is so crappy i can barely txt on it. Maybe when i can actually get some money ill put up pics for you people who obviously think this is a Picture thread or something. Which has already been said like idk a few times... so check back later.. im not a magic money maker or somethin i cant just go buy a camera....

[suicide_star]

just the bodies are worth the $6, in my opinion. the size of their f150 body looks really close to the size of the evo f150

Found it using Google. Heres a link to an F150 forum with pics of the F150

reprogramming the circuitboard sounds very questionable to me. i don't think that reprogramming the circuitboard can be done with box-mart junk, and you'll still have to create a whole new circuit for the radio signal decoding and frecuency crystals along with use up-to-spec mosfets and the like. it's not as simple as just a simple program. proportional steering and throttle is a complex program and unless your dad makes a living, programming proportional rc vehicles, it's going to be next to impossible

[GearHeadV8]

Honestly wait until you have pics or at least some way to get pics before you make a thread. Its useless to say Hey look I got this sick car and it goes 900mph but sorry no pics. You will get nothing but flammed.

This thread is closed until the OP can provide pictures of the RC... when you have them PM me and I'll re-open it for you.
