Help picking first nitro rc! Need durable beater, I think.

themaxx69 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:26:02 GMT

Ok, so this will be my first nitro rc I have ever had. I have always wanted one

since I saw a grasshopper like 15 or so years ago. I have been doing a lot of

reading on different trucks and buggies and truggies etc. But, there are just

too many different ones out there.

Basically, I want something that isn't going to break(easily), and doesn't cost

an arm & a leg. I don't want to jump 30 feet on concrete or do 4 back flips,

land upside down and then keep going. I don't have a thousand dollars or more

to spend on an rc truck, at least not right at once. That kinda leads me to

another question about price. I see trucks for a few hundred and then something

like a losi eight for $800. I read and watch videos of people beating up their

2-3-4 hundred dollar trucks and not breaking anything.

Like I said, I don't what to do insane 20-30 foot jumps or go 50 or 60mph. I'd

just like too be able to run around all over, dirt, sand, grass, jumps like at

skate/bike parks, dirt jumps, up trees:D things like that. I can't see doing

too much over say 6 feet, IF that. Maybe longer jumps, but not higher.

I am a very mechanically inclined, a quick learner and

knowledgeable/experienced with things like bikes, motorcycles, quads, 3

wheelers, electronics, etc. Wish I could ad women to that! :D

Thing is, there are so many differing opinions out there. I have read totally

opposite things on like every truck, nitro or electric. I read good things

about savages, traxxas, losi, tower, team associated and others I can't

remember. Then I read people saying the complete opposite about them. Go

figure.

I also, don't know much about the differences between trucks, buggies,

truggies, stadium, monster, other than some obvious things like size and 2 or

4wd. I have seen videos of all the traxxas truck types and some savage and

rc-10 gt and gt2 I think, and a losi eight and some losi trucks and more. And I

have seen all of them do what I want and more. I don't know if some of those

people spent many hundreds of dollar in upgrades. And I don't even know where

to get started on upgrades. Some vehicles have like 10x more upgrades than

others. I mean is there really that many you need to strengthen your truck

other than a handful of areas, like tranny, suspension, wheels and drivetrain?

The price is a big thing too. Again, I've seen stampedes and rustlers just name

a couple, doing big jumps and not breaking and those didn't seem too expensive.

I'd rather not have to spend $500 or $800 if I can spend 3or4 hundred and be

able to jump around and beat it up a bit all day. One thing that keeps popping

up a lot though is an rc-10 gt or gt2. I have probably seen more people saying

that is a good beginner and pretty tough, but how tough. And what's a beginner?

I mean, my Honda CBR929 was basically my first bike, and I do wheelies(among

other things) whenever I ride and have never put it down. Just cause I get an

rc that will go 60mph or handles different doesn't mean I'm gonna floor it

around full speed the first time and then smash it into a hundred pieces. If I

can drive home, during rush hour, from west Phoenix to Tempe in the rain, with

a blown brake line, and no clutch pedal, and not crash(long story), I can drive

any rc car and not destroy it...at least not right away. You just have to be

very careful and pay attention, till you get the hang of it. Little off the

subject, but see my point.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but I hope that's not too much info:D

Also, any input on electric is welcome, but from all the reading I've done, I

think for now I'd like nitro. Again, people say the total opposite about both.

But, my initial impression seems that electric is more complicated and in the

long run doesn't seem to save A TON of money. I know they both are great, but

from what I was reading, for what I want to do, the main complaint seemed to be

just getting the nitro to run right. But, other people say tuning isn't hard.

Maybe it's an knowledge thing, I don't know. Don't bash me for that. I'm just

saying, a lot of people don't learn how to do things correctly and then think

it sucks. Same thing could be true with electric, but that's not the impression

I've been getting. Seems like more overall work....for what I want. If I'm

wrong, than I will learn and go with whatever suits my needs most.

Oops. Too much babbling, sorry. Think I'll go have some bourbon.....then maybe

some scotch......hell, then I'll have a beer:D

Thanks for all the input and I can't wait to get running with whatever I get!

Raced variations of the Sauber C9

GTPguy — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:37:38 GMT

Nothing fancy here, but this is what I did with the duplicates I had of the Sauber Mercedes C9 bodies.
I converted the original 'Circuit Board' #61 to this #62 version with the yellow sunscreen, as raced in the 1988 LeMans 24 Hours.

I also converted the original silver #63 to this #62. Both were raced at the 1989 LeMans.

This body sits fairly high off the track out of the box, so I lowered both bodies to make them look more realistic. A couple stickers on the ends of the spoilers complete the mods.

harristotle — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:12:05 GMT

Over the past 6 months I've really developed an interest in building detailed and accurate model engines. I usually hang out on the diecast boards, but I figured model engines were more relevant in the model car section :lol:

Here are my latest two that I've finished...
