Hello Everyone
My son and I own and operate Evolution Hobbies in Casco, Maine. We have an off road track and will be having our first annual Midsummer Money Madness race. Cash & trophies will be awarded and several manufacturers have signed on as sponsors(free stuff) We would like to see a good turnout at this event. For those that might want to come from out of state we can recommend lodging that is fairly close by. If you have any questions email us at or call 207 627-4407 10am-6pm Tues-sat. and 11-3 on Sunday. We offer racing on Fridays for electrics only at 6pm and on Sunday for both electric & nitro at noon. If your in the area during shop hours bring your vehicle to try the track out, first time is on us, after that we allow practice at $ 5.00 for the day.

What's up all! I am a novice when it comes to RC cars/trucks/etc.
I have a few of each, next purchase is going to be a crawler. I'm looking forward to learning some new things and making friends.
I'm 36 and the fun in RC's came late in life after I could afford it. Now I'm hooked and can't seem to find anything else to spend my hard earned money on than RC equipment.
I have a shop full of parts and vehicles.
I will post vehicles later when I find a couple of extra hours.
Later all

Hello Everyone,


My name is John and my user ID is TIGWELDER with no E's. I weld for a living so the name fits. I use it on all forums. Its easy to keep up with. I have been out of RC racing for about 10 years. My son is now to the age its time to get him involved so I am here looking around for stuff to figure out what style of racing he wants to do. I think oval is the way to go for now.

:)

My family is new at this and wanting to build a track for us to practice at here at home. I've tried searching web for plans, or specs. My husband is wanting an oval plywood track. Does anyone know where we could go on the web and find out the specs? Oh, ya he wants the corners to be banked.


Thanks,

newhobby

Hi All,

Hello everyone! My name is fred, and I live in lake ariel ,PA. I had recently aquired a Schluter r/c fuel helicopter. I dont have very much knowledge of this aircraft. I had always dreamed of owning an r/c helicopter now I have it but It seems to be quite difficult to locate any parts, manuals ,photos, or any info on this copter. I have joined this group in hopes that someone out there could help me in getting my copter off the ground. All I do Know is that it says schluter on most all the frame, The motor says webra 61, And the servos are all futaba. I do know that I need glowplugs, A remote W/reciever, A battery pack, and fuels. I would greatly appreciate any help in my goal to flight. Thank you all for welcomeing me to this community.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm an RC fanatic for 30 years or so and an RC car fanatic for about the last 15 years. Touring, gas and electric and recently oval. York, SC is home now I am semi-retired.

I currently have modified Stampedes, Rustlers and a built from scratch Slash (with Stampede battery tray and steering). All brushless.
Came here to look at crawler info.

hey Everyone,
I m a luthier and specialized in vintage guitars, refinishing and relicing.
I used to be a hardcore RC Racer in Europe, back in the early days of the 1/8th nitro, 1/8 th Onroad and 1/10th Electric offroad. I did a lil bit of everything else, planes and helos, especially paint jobs.

I m getting back to the hobby, i recently moved to the US ( Savannah GA) and my GF's kid is disabled so I thought it d be a great way to spend some time with him tinkering and racing.

RC Has changed so much, I have a lot to learn and i m very excited to join the forum and get started again.

I will soon get back into airbrushing and will post pictures of the bodies :)

I m currently on the look fo two trucks like a revo or Tmaxx 3.3 or a Savage so I can get started playing with the kid, I m going to go and post if there is a wanted section in the classified .

I m also looking for painting hints and tips, what are the good paint available for airbrush these days, masking tape, stencils etc . SO any PM welcome !!!

Cheers

Tone ( Antoine )

Hello Everyone,
My name is Lloyd and I am located in Southern Indiana. I have been into RC's cars since I was a little kid. I started racing (xxx-t, tc3) around the age of 12. I got out of racing a few years after that and got into RC monster trucks. I have now moved onto building custom RC Rock Crawlers and any other rc that I find interesting and worth building a tube chassis for. I am also starting to get into the Dirt Oval part of RCing.

I look forward to looking around on here.

Thanks,
Lloyd

new here just saying hello.

Thanks for having me. I am primarily interested in quarter scale sprints. I hope to find out some info and learn quite a bit about it. It doesn't seem as popular for some reason especially in the southeast. I have been into R/C Cars since 2001. I Have raced 10th scale electric sprints and 12th scale onroad. I have a 12th scale CRC Bloody Knife and Losi xxx-cr electric and 1/18th mini-t. i am hoping to purchase a Quarter Sprint. We have a few 8th scale ovals in the area and I really love the quarter scale cars. I hope to find a used torsion bar chassis possibley in need of restoration. I can't find anyone building them. In the early 80's I raced a torsion bar Modified midget. It was one smooth car. Again...Thanks for allowing me to be a part of a great community. R/c cars in any scale are totally Cool.

Hi I,m from santa maria CA. I just decided to go for the mamba max brushless system with a 5700 kv motor to go in my tamiya df02 buggy.I was told I should go with a lipo battery but when I went to a couple web sites I quickly learned I was in over my head. First there were 2 cell then 3 cell then it was c rate discharge rates and the chargers are you kidding me there were explosion warnings and stuff I dont know if all that is worth it. So 1st of all is it worth the investment second what do i need to run my set up lastly where can I learn about this stuff. Any help you guys can give me shore would be apreciated thanx jamester

I just want to say hello!:wave:

Hi all, new guy checking in. I just happened across this site, checked it out and found some interesting things that I didn't know. Looking forward to learning some more and maybe helping someone else if I can.

Hi all,

I just picked up an E Revo roller and doing some research for a brushless ESC motor combo. I was all set to get the MMM combo that Traxxas uses but the new Tekin RX8 combo looks very good also...so still doing research and shopping.

Hi everyone,
The name's Vince Garver. I mostly collect vintage diecast cars of all brands, as well as vintage R/C cars. My personal favorite is the Shinsei Fire Fox car from the 1970's to early 1980's. In addition, I collect G.I. Joe toys from 1982 to 1987. I guess that the kid in me hasn't died. Be on the watch because I just bought a large collection of Hot Wheels cars from the early 1970, and I plan to sell them off. I have too much stuff. And I want to get rid of all of them.
