Welcome to this forums new RC thread!

(If this thread already exists then give me a link and il hop on to there!)

 

Here anyone that has an intrest in Radio Contrioled vehicles of any kind can disscus there gear, upcoming events, give advice and sutch!

You dont need to own any fancy gear or do pro RC racing to be here just have an intrest in this and your good to go :)

 

I guess I can start this thread by telling you my history with RC things;

 

when I was around 10 I got my first RC car it was a blue one with sortof a race car boddy with ofroad tires and some really springy independant suspention, I still have it but I havent used it in about 2 years now. After a couple of years my intrest in this hobby grew and I bought a Kyosho EP Fazer, I have used it a bit but its just not that good, I have hightend the suspention a tad and its more of a "rally" car now, later that year my dad got me a Trexxas EREVO VXL(the small 1:16 one) and I have had a bunch of fun with it seing as its water tight you can take it out in any weather and it kicks gravel like an absolute beast, I have slightly warn out the tires now tho so thats something I will be fixing some time in the future. Now a couple of years later I have acuired another car and its a "pice of poop" in quality compard to the other cars i have, but its fun, its a WLtoys Pathfinder and its basicly the RC car I have wanted since I begun the hobby, but it is right now sitting beside me, with a busted gearbox :/ I made a rally cross corse on a gravel field just down the streat and I decided that running the course down some stairs wouldent be to bad, but after the final stair the back end hit the ground and it messed up the gearbox realy bad so now I need spare parts...(pictures of all my current gear can be posted upon request)

 

Well thats my storry, I have always wanted an RC plane so if someone could suggest a maby 4 chanel one that would be something that could be disscused :)

 

So if your interested in RC just hit the follow button on this thread and post away!

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

I had a traxxas tmaxx. Still got it but it's been a number of years since it has been run. The engine probably won't turn over.
