Its a new hobby for me, since I can keep it in my car trunk and drive it when ever I have a little time. Really fun and fast as hell

I have a Traxxas Nitro-4-Tec as a play car for the street.
(61 MPH stock)

10% Nitromethane.
Acura NSX body (Bolink)
Electric Start
M.I.P. temp guage
Airtronics 2-channel
Balanced wheels/tires
All wheel drive
K&N filter
Aluminum chassis

I want to get new aluminum wheels for it and a G-35 coupe body next. Maybe a Trans-Am body.

I raced 1/10 electrics back in the 90s. Trucks and onroad.

1993 1/10 Offroad Stock Champion / Houston Auto-Rama
1994 / 1995 Friendswood Raceway Season Champ; (Nascar syle Pan cars)
1995 Houston RC Offroad Modified Truck Shootout Runner-Up

I have been racing RC for over 18 years now. I currently have T4, B4, X-5, XXX-NT, XXX-S, Xray T1M, RC10 worlds car, Losi Jrx-T, Turbo Optima, RC12L3. I havee had many many thru the years. It is great fun.

I have a 1/8 scale mugen mbx-4 w/ a top bk21 and a sbk 21. I also have a 1/8 scale picco rs compac. The onroad is superfast. Been into this sport since 1995. Started w/ 1/0 scale then went to the wild side w/ 1/8 offroad/onroad.

Hey Billy, 10%. Dang dude wake that car up w/ 30% and see the difference.

Cool, I bought a Traxxas 4 Tec with OS CV15R engine last month, pretty fast, but just like with the Jet ski's,
I got the modding bug, and just decided to buy a new Carbon Team Associated NTC3 Factory Version, and Just bought a RB V15 Rody tuned Race engine for it, Should absolutly FLY!! Also bought a Race pipe!!

Coop, those 1/8 scales are wicked, especially with .21!!

GP1200R-racer, those OS CV15R motors are sweet. I see pipes on ebay really cheap. If I played with it more I would get a pipe. but this thing scoots just how it is.

I have seen some with some weight reduction done to them, starter removed, lighter chassis, lighter wheels and a really aero body and they Go !

I have been a RC-10L, RC-10 and Losi guy for years. but since owning this Traxxas, I can't complain.

Here is a cool site if you ever buy sell or trade. http://www.rb-rc.com/

Here is something I have always wanted to get into if there was a track nearby. RC Drag racing

megatech makes a nice top fuel dragster. I think it has a .12 and rips to about 60mph. They have one at 45/1960 at Larrys Hobbies.

For two years, I have been eyeballing a Miss Budweiser Hydroplane at Issaccs Hobby Center on I45 in Clear Lake by Baybrook. They have a 1/10 scale and a 1/4 scale. Both gas powered. I would love have a boat to piddle with on the two lakes in my neighborhood.

Does Larry's have a track? Strip? Or road course?

I've been doing it for years too... Right now I have an OFNA 9.5 with a Force .26, a Savage with a Picco .26, a XXX-NT, an OFNA LD-3 with a Sirio Outlaw .12 turbo, a Kyosho Inferno, and a Losi XX-4. These money pits are addictive!!!

You ain't kiddin' about money pits. But, we Men have to have our toys !!

Just got back. Larrys has no track at all. They do have a nice shop though. I know the boat you are talking about. He will never sell it. I have been trying to buy that gocart he has with the .12 in it for years. NOT FOR SALE!! I will go to his brothers shop and see if they have a large kite. I want to be drug around the sand at the beach.

RX951- You're absolutely right about our toys... My girlfriend just can't understand the rush of buying a bigger, faster motor... Spending hours trying to get it tuned properly for optimum HP... Spending hours interchanging parts to make it handle better... THEN... Running that SOB wide open over the biggest dirt mound in the county to see how high or how many flips it'll do before crashing to the ground to start all over again. IT'S A BLAST!!!

Not much into Nitro Cars but I have a
Traxxis Nitro Hawk. It needs new A arms, and I cant find anyone that has any.
Traxxis Rustler elect.
Duratrax Delphi Indy Car about 35 mph for stock
Old School RC 10.

Now you wanna talk RC boats I got a few.

.15 somfin in a homemade Tunnel Hull.
.21 CMB in Husselcraft hull. smokin fast and killer paintjob.
.21 K&B Outboard on Dumas Hotshot. Fun boat
.45 CMB in Mongoose Outrigger Killer Pantjob
.45 K&B in Dumas Quickie 40 Outrigger Smokin fast.
.45 K&B in Husselcraft hull
.67 OPS in Husselcraft hull, Smokin Fast
.80 OPS in Husselcraft hull.
55" home made fiberglass hull with stock homelite weedeater motor. good wave jumper
55" Zenoah Pro-Mod Dumas hull pretty fast. with clutch and water pump
A few air boats I never even ran.
Many, Many K&B .21's &.45 motors New never used.
Few .67's & .80 OPS & CMB new never used.
Few stock weedeater motors converted over for watercooled. Just a BOAT load of hardware too.
Most hardware I made my self. Oh I forgot about the .45 K&B homemade hydro I made and had a custom paintjob put on it.. then lost raido controll and it ran into a bunch of rocks along the bank. Pretty much took out the first 10 inchs of the boat, but I still have whats left. Nice paint job Gary.
Oh did I mention I use to own and run a Hobby Shop that specialized in RC BOATS??
I got a few planes still too.

Mick

Hey Mick, those ole' skool RC-10's are bullet proof.

Nice !
OOooooo ! 5-port sleeve and polished crankshaft

Nikasil that sleeve & send the rest to Lowell Horning JK

I don't do the cars anymore....but I fly the helis and planes. I have pictures of my helis if anyone wants to see them. I also have a 170mph pylon plane that I race that is electic. It has a meaga 3 turn in it. The heli I fly is a X-cell Fury pro 60. I can do pretty decent 3d

Mike

Helis ? Your brave ! I tried using an electric one on a trainer one time, wasn't pretty.
Mpeavler1, that 3-turn, is it brushless?

I also have a couple small planes, the bigger one is a Spitfire with the newer model OS61. Never flown it!! I think Im just going to sell them off, dont feel like crashing it after all the work. Im into the Cars now!

Rx,


Yes it's a 16/15/3 Right now with my current prop it's pulling just above 30amps !! I run a 3 cell li-po pack on it 2400mah I can run it at a constant 160mph for about 4 min before I have to back off because the pack gets really warm. It will average about 120-130mph at 3/4 throttle. It's about the same size as a 1/8 scale buggy. The plane it's in is call a Pelikin Dynamic.
