Picked up a losi mini 8ight, upgraded almost everything to carbon fiber and aluminum, getting a mamba cm26 6800kv motor next and hitec servo. What kinda toys do you guys got?
stumbled across this.. your car is preety cool. 9 Trucks RC Mudding Trail at Chestnut Ave Defender D90 Axial Wraith 6x6 King Hauler Man Honcho - YouTube
XTM nitro xcelletator It hasn't been started in at lease 4 months. I took it apart and cleaned it about a week ago, but I couldn't start it. This rc is around 5 years old.
is that rc car flexing at the middl.. and the tires, they look like they are actually carrying mass and so the rocks kinda mold the tire around it, very very interesting. bravo!
Its a torsion chasis so it doesnt have any shocks for flexing. The frame of the vehicle does the flexing. Its very stable at odd angles. The tires arent really anything special. Every RC crawler has those. Although we do put stick on wheel weights inside them to help keep the center of gravity down to keep it from flipping or rolling. also it has the steering links behind the axle instead of in front. Less likely for it to get hung up on or break. Heres how it started life: then my ECU and battery blew up: so she got rebuilt completely:
I got a mother fuckin surprise for you guys. My build is almost done...I got enough into this I could prolly trade it for a real car...I brought all the parts to the hobby shop and let them build it simply because it was just too much stuff.
Good luck EVER finding one of these brand new in the box. Shits not even on eBay it's so rare. Probably worth a couple zips of medical

[quote name='"LoserKid420"'] $250 for the car stock $400 in hop up parts[/quote] Shit why didn't you go with gas then? Lol
Because brushless is faster, easier to maintain, cleaner, and lighter. I've owned two nitro buggies before and gave them away.

I've owned two nitro buggies before and gave them away.[/quote] Oh yea I agree with them being easier to maintain, lighter, and a whole lot cleaner.. I guess I just like nitro more. I like sounds and the smells lol and I like tinkering with it. I've never owned an electric one. How many electric ones have you had? And your car in the video is quicker than I expected lol be sure to post up a new one once you put all your new parts are on
