any Wackbaggers into R/C?

[Evilpete]

I have been into it for years owning seveal different cars. I just got more into Nitro cars now and here's a couple pics of my newest car (which is also my project this winter to get ready for next season). I usually go bash around Queens, but I was wondering if there are other out there who also enjoy the hobby

I never got into it, but goddamn...that looks like a serious little machine

[Evilpete]

it does look complicated, but once you start working on these things it is actually easy (though time consuming)

RC cola? No, I prefer coke.

[ASSBAG]

I have a T-Maxx too, always breaking shocks among other crap. The best part is whatever I break it never costs more than $10.

i have had almost every kind of r/c toy that your could imagin i gave up my helo because it scared the shit out of me, i still have the plane but i have to put a new radio in it and have some one teach me how to fly it. i think i might buy the top of the line Traxxis monster truck for my son (ya rite) for xmass. my old car is just an old piece of shit and i cant find the batteries for the radio. besides the traxxs is fucking cool as shit electric start and all that jazz. all of my shit is old

[Bud8Weiser]

I am. Here's mine collection. The big Stadium truck is an HPI MT2 nitro, The Eclipse is an HPI RS4 nitro(made to look like my 97 Eclipse that got stolen back in 2001. R.I.P.) and the little stadium truck is an Team Associated RC18T electric.

I have always wanted to get into this. My buddy has a few. WBL flies r/c helos. Great cars and trucks people.

[Evilpete]

forgot to metnion the truck I have is a HPI Savage ss with some mods.

who knows, maybe there could be a Wackbag "bash" somewhere in the future

also making my own "WOW" Truck body sometime this winter, when I get around to geting a new body (chevy Silverado of course...GM trucks have XM) and time to figure it out..HOO HOO DON"T STEAL MY THING HOO HOO

[CM Mark]

I have an old Radio Shack $30 RC Car that I screw aeound with sometimes. Other than that, no. I'm not really into that. Nice stuff I see here in the pics though.

[IDontCare05]

I raced for about 6 years and collected about 20-25 trophies for my efforts...I will show off my trophies and cars if i can find them. I raced a 2WD truck and a Buggie.

[TheSolipsist]

the word BattleBox comes to mind....

[THE FEZ MAN]

my son wants to build a battle bot i just dont feel like it. i have radios, engines and the talent just no ambition. that will doom me to being a looser for the rest of my life

[LZMF1]

i have a team losi XXXT truck (electric)


i want to get a nitro R/C car or truck but i've heard thay're really high maintinence and i'm just too damned lazy to be bothered

[Evilpete]

nitro I find easier to handle, but for new people it's best to have someone knowlegable in the cars around to help

[THE FEZ MAN]

i like nitro. also the newer cars are way lower maintence than my old shit. i also have access to a small machine shop now so if i need to i can make shit for it. i would love to make a glow motor just to see if i could do it

[tar_baby]

how fast do these things go these days?

[THE FEZ MAN]

the one that i want to get the traxxas REVO will go 45+ out of the box there are others that will top 60mph www.traxxas.com

[ProfessorAnt]

that shit's expensive! coupla hundred bucks for a toy. wow.

[THE FEZ MAN]

i realy like my toys, how much they cost is relitive. i dont go to sporting events, i dont travel, and i were a pair of shoes till the soul falls off, but i dont mind dropping 500$ on an R/C model or a fancy gun or some such other useless thing

[FreeTheCricket]

Anybody fly r/c planes? I have one currently. It's only a Firebird XL, which is just a battery-powered one, but it is wicked fun, and it is a good trainer for my eventual purchase of a gas-powered one. I can get about 1/2 hour of airtime out of it, and I love it.

[Evilpete]

I thought of getting into planes, but I don't have the patience or space to do it

[THE FEZ MAN]

ive crashed plane's but never realy flew them/ i have a trainer called a flying armadilo its cool its basicly coragated plastic and square alumnium tubeing with .40 motor. it does fly great nice and slow i just have trouble with the landing thing. i need to change the radio and have some one with a buddy box teach me.

[Big Dick Mcgee]

I have a rc 10 gt that I have had for the better part of 7or8 years.It's agreat little truck and has been a lot of fun.Some friends and I race around here at a local track a cross town.But lord knows it can be a expensive hobby.

[GLENN_THE_TOOL]

i used to have a few RC cars when i was younger, got them from family members for Christmas in that time when you're getting too old for little kid toys and not old enough to just ask for cash so you can buy your own stuff (since my relatives my old and thus, technologically inept), use it to buy porn, and/or spend it all on a night out on the town.

[angrybeerguy]

[angrybeerguy]

I have a few nitro rc cars and trucks,also a trainer plane and a small electric helicopter.I havent really been into the cars for the past 2 summers,I'm going to get back into it though.I'm guessing my car was going about 90 mph but that was after I dumped a few thousand into it.I would say out of the box they go around 40+.If you are in the NYC area a great hobby shop to check out is in the Bronx it is called Bruckner's Hobby,back when I was into it I would travel about an hour from Connecticut to go to this hobby store.They always seemed to know what I needed and have the parts I needed and the staff was very knowlegeable and the prices were very reasonable.
