New guy here, member on a few other R/C boards. MT guy mainly but starting to get back into sedans.:thumbsup:

Whats up yall!!!

I have been into Nitro RC for several years, but now getting into rock crawling. I have great info on this site and would like to give thanks you guys have been GREAT.

:wave: Hi I'm a new guy with 22 yrs of r/c racing mostly 1/10 and 1/4 scale . I finally signed up for the abuse on the net!
i assume this Hank guy is in Michigan? I lived in Wayland for 20 yrs, have been in Phoenix now about 22. I found the postings on Mayfield interesting- I also am an RN of 23 yrs so I am surprised to see Mayfield sell off everything if it was only adderall......?

I am mostly and oval guy but do run my losi truck on when it's not 120 degrees outside. I am looking to find out more about any (encino?) velodrome racing as i am an old thunderdrome addict.....

hi my name sebastian. A newbie in oval racing hope i learn alot thanks

Hello folks. I'm a newbie to the R/C world but not to Hobbytalk. Recently purchased a car for my 8 yr old son (his cousin is big into these and he wanted to give it a try). He has been playing with the truck for a couple weeks so I decided to get myself one, he can't drive alone! We'll see how things go and if he stays interested then Christmas time I may bump him up a notch. The HBX trucks are great entry level rigs, not too expensive but still rip around pretty good, though not the 40mph the box claims....

Hello. My name is Vince. I live in Glendora, CA. I have been into R/C offroad cars for about a year and half. This is one of the more addictive hobbies I have been into. I got my first taste of racing with my Associated T4, but really got hooked when I started turning corners with the Slash. I'm in it for fun and have no aspirations to be sponsored or anything like that, not that I'm good enough anyway lol. I really enjoy helping newer drivers out. Now that I sort of look experienced, I get people coming up to me all the time asking for help. I will go out of my way to help anyone who needs it, especially the newbies.

hi all, my name Gregor. Still newbie in RC, and hopin' learning more in this forum. Thanks

Hello my name is Steve I live in northern New York . I plan on running a s/k car this year .
Just looking around for some information

My name is Ed Riley, and i have been into RC cars for a long time. My first car that i had in 1984 was an Associated 12 car with a Boxter Body, then I got a Parma Panther Pro.
I did race RC 10's on Dirt with Mcallister lowering kit's, while I was in Panama City, Fla. My last car I bought was a SK Modified. My lil Daughter tore it up when she wrecked it. Stuff happens! Well I was looking to get another S/K Modified, But I seem to can't find them. Any clues as to if they are being made anymore?

im a member of goped nation and very well known on there for my portwork and engine building. and im also a member of the hpi baja forums. well that about sums it up for now..

I just stumbled into this site. It's awesome. I like to work on small gas engins. I am semi-retired and live in Kansas City.

hello to all rc racer

I'm fairly new remote controlled "toys" so I'm hoping to get a lot of information on the site. I own an M4 Sherman rc tank and an RC plane I have yet to finish. :)

My name is Dave and I have been around RC most of my life, but active moreso over the last 4-5 years. I live in Naperville, IL and enjoy racing at Leisure Hours in Joliet when time allows. I also like to paint bodies as a hobby, hence my screen name. Some of you may know me from other forums such as ChiTownRC or RC Tech, etc. where I also spend my idle time.

I hope to make a positive contribution to Hobby Talk, so please let me know if I can answer any painting questions you might have!

Thanks

Hey Driver,
I too bought a Forza as my first car and then followed up with a Hyperspeed. Mostly because of their affordability. Well, ya get what ya pay for...
Is it a good car? For running up and down a driveway or light back yard bashing, yep for a hundred and a half, it's a fun little buggy.
But, when I tried to race it it was a comedy of mechanical failures heat after heat. The cups kept falling off the tranny or differential, the rear tires (not being foam filled) got sand in them and got so out of balance that it bent the axles. (pic attached)
Long story short, I wouldn't race it unless you got a parts supply or
do some serious preventitive maintanance. At the very least loc-tite every set screw in the drive train. A spair set of tires wouldn't hurt euther.
After a few weeks of discovering that for Exceed, RTR means ready to repair, I bought an Associated RC10-SC truck and LOVE it! So now the Forza sits on the bench until I need a nitro fume fix. I hope this helped.

Just saying hello from new york. Mainly interested in off road buggy racing.

Hi everyone, my name is Adrian, Im new to the site but not to the hobby, Im pretty much a collector but I do run most of what I collect but not hard unless it meant to be a runner.

I just picked up a used Custom Works Aggressor and Trinity Switchblade to restore along with my trusty Bolink Sport.

Ive been looking at this site for a while now and I find it to be full of knowledge, thanks for having me as a member.

first time to post here. have been into rc cars for about 15 years. have several 1/8 buggies, truggy, two losi sliders-highly modified, a sf501 motorcycle, custom works enforcer, and a losi li8ght. have the most fun with the li8ght, and the sliders. i have a track in my yard for dirt oval and off road cars. i have gotten addicted to the oval track.
my question to everybody, what dirt oval car in their opinion is the best? any scale. i like the losi sliders but they wear out quickly, and their steering setup is weak. i have modified their steering twice one car with a custom works "rack," and a full size servo and the other with a full size servo direct to tie-rods. the losi car works very well and very tunable.
anyway what is the best dirt oval car? custom works? losi? dynotech? exotech? havoc? there are many more i can't think of.
thanks-poraudi
