1/10 Electric car thread, post them up

[Spade]

dam, my track RSX might have died. anyone ever had a negatively charge battery?
cause I just my fast charger twice on the same battery w/o using it. a week from the first charge came the second. and it wudn't even spin the wheels.

thing is, I used on of my friends batteries and it was low from the start. then he used it on his car and it seemed to be fine.

did the mighty RSX die on me?

Lemme guess, you got the body off a New Bright Truck right? Very nice rig. How's it perform? How do you like the big bore shocks?

Well, it says New Bright on the body...
It performs great. The shocks are a little stiff, so I might have to drive it more, or get softer springs. Thank you.

Thank you. I didn't want a lexan body, so off to Target I went and bought this. They are only available during Christmas time.

I saw the thread. I would love to make it, but I am still tweaking the truck. Moreover, FCAT is this week...

And My Two Hawks (RTR and Kit versions):

Its so funny that you say that... Lexan is the hobby industry's standard... They're durable, cheap, and if painted nicely, look great! Plus, the paint doesn't wear off and scuff...

Anyway...

Tamiya TA-04 PRO:

[firebird999]

my only 1/10 is a literal toy car.it is kinda fast though, but it has no suspension, and xmods can beat it.

Azng: how do you like the tl-01? because iam getting 2 tc3's and maybe a tl-01

[Spade]

only thing I have against lexans is that they usually have plastic rods sticking out and are almost see thru. the ones like my RSX and that guys land rover body, realistic. ehh, we have our own tastes. after having several cars my favorite was the RSX, cause it was a RSX, not a chassis and flimsy shell.

[Mooshu_Beef]

...There is a reason why Spade was banned. I won't go into a tirade about how Spade doesn't know what he is talking about.

What the heck are the plastic rods? And the fact that he thinks they're see through has to be because he is either looking at the windows, or knows people/ he himself doesn't back the paint.

I will post pictures when I finish with my trueno. Here is my build thread on another forum though--I cut out the light covers (Trueno body has flip up headlights, but the lexan body has it fixed down because well... it's a one piece body) and built my own light buckets. Next on the list are some good offset rims--most likely black in the rear and silver in the front with some rounded ABS, because cut block looks ugly

Haha mooshu I think he means the body posts.

Yeah, you need to learn vocabulary of RC nature, especially your cute little RSX.

Flimsy shell?
I've beaten the hell out of my cen ct5.
I ran over a piece of wood in a baseball parking lot, and it got some serious air.
Like 4 inches, and the body hit the ground, it bends back to normal.
That's why polycarbonate-lexan bodies were created buddy.

Your little RSX would just crack.
Plastic rods aren't so bad you know, easy access to the chassis.
What real racers use.

The tl-01 is pretty fun, not a pure bread racer by any means. Its a fun drifter though. Ive been told that the chassis is pretty indestructible which is always good lol. Right now I have it set up for rally driving, but it will go back to drifting once I get my tl-01b's in. They are fairly cheap now adays, so if its a good price I say go for it. Just make sure you keep all the gears lubed up so that they wont strip.

Looks like my LR3 shell caused some trouble..
