1/10 Electric car thread, post them up
 
here's 1 of 2 working cars out of my 30+ collection. its a radioshack superstreet RSX. 16.5MPH is boring after a 50+ MPH kyosho FW 05T nitro, but like hondas they last and are cheap. so whats your one main RC 1/10 car?

It looks ok, but my Nitro Stampede can smoke it! Hehe. It looks more like a cheap cheezy toy.

Spade 02-24-2008 03:57 PM

cheap yes, cheezy, no, only in the rear where the body is disproportioned. but when new it looks much better than any flimsy lexan body. I usually run tight tracks on a roller hockey rink so it gets the job done. pics of my track car to come soon. its the blue body, stripped of decals, wing and rear diffuser part of the bumper. and its in better condition

I will have to admit,they are cool,but only if you rip it open,and upgrading the electronic,they are kinda slow.I dont really like walmart RC's because there cheaply made,and if you drive them hard,they wont last for long.
I got a West Coast Custums car,and I drove it for like a week,then it just didnt work right,or even work at all,so I tore it apart and I'm using parts off of it..

Well here is my Nitro TC3 +, It came stock with a .15 motor, after cracking the block on that i upgraded it to a O.s. .18 motor and still breaking it in today :( i miss my old motor.....

Dude the fact that the body is honda has nothing to do with how long it lasts so why would you even say that??

what size is the motor

Spade 02-24-2008 06:51 PM

I like that TC3. I shud have gotten that or the HPI RS4 3 instead of being cheap with the kyosho, blown engine.

and at the moment I am awaiting shipment of my sautering tool which will allow me to make my RSX go atleast 20MPH with a motor swap. but those things are as hard to work on as Nitro cars. not really ment to be taken fully apart.

and by the way I have the first gen of the HPI nitro RS4 sitting in the garage, and its plugged up, I left gas in it for months, drained it but some is still in there. what do I do? that is my last hope of something fast. I cant find a connecting rod for my FW 05T and a new engine is 115$

Well if you were to throw that an a Lexan Body out a window, or both into a curb at 30mph, which would survive? Plus Lexan is much lighter and tougher. Try racing on hard, dry concrete. It will give you the most speed and grip.
