Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

bout to D/L videos. I want one of those. I always seem 'em in the Tower Hobbies catalogs

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

I've wanted one of those for a long time. There was a guy where I use to live that built his own and sold them. Only sold them for like $200-$300. The things were so fast it was unbelieveable

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

i have always wanted those but i know i would have buyer remorse and dont have any extra money right now

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

The Traxxas buggy is bigger~
http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitr...rx_monster.htm

Cool tho man~ looks fun.
I have an Associated RC10GT stadium truck w/ a .15
and a duratrax streetforce w/ a .18~ few upgrades to it, i got it clocked at 58mph~
I have a vid of her too~ (yes, it has a red civic body on it >:D) and it's 4wd~


Heres the vid: (listen for the 2 speed transmittion shifting (automatic))
took a bit for the engine to get warmed up before it would shift~ (shifts at middle/end of vid)

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

i have a rc10gt from back in the day i used to ---- with. on/off road 45mph tops

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

what a waste of money :l

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

frickin sweet. I want one.

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

its a hobby, you might not be into it but to others its well worth it

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

you should lower that 2nd gear shift point :-\
i bet if u fix it.. ittl go alot faster.. your cars shifting into second wayyyy too late.. that gonna damage the engine.

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

I got a hp RS4-ss sitting in my room that I haven't touched in years, its pretty fun when it is running though.

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

Did you figure out how to strap C4 to it and drive it into a crowd of people yet?

Way to escape the "suicide" in suicide bomber.

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

that ---- moves!!!!

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

Sweet deal man

i crashed mine last year and i still didnt fix all of it yet i got a small nitro truck and hit a rock at about 50, snapped all the shocks off the upper peices and broke the front 2 shocks.

fun to do when ur car is out of gas

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

yes steve. i wished to attain max payload while not hindering speed in any noticable way.. i did some calculations.. and i beileve 12.3 pounds of c4 is where the buggy starts to slow down..
so i just kept it at 12 pounds to be safe..

i dont know about a crowd of people.. but next time ur stopped alone at a stop light.. and u hear the whizz of the rc motor.. i suggest you peel the ---- outta there as fast as you can... :y

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

isn't it giggity giggity giggity ?

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

nitro rc vehicles are sweet. I have a xxxnt stadium truck, a .15 aerobatic biplane, and a .30 cessna look alike plane. I also have a thunder tiger raptor 30 v2 helicopter that i found in a tree when i was hunting this year, the thing is ------- sweet there is nothing like flying a helicopter upside down at 30 mph

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

update. buggy is broken in.. and fast enough for its size
still need to fine tune it and find the ideal shift point for 2nd gear.

its already aten through 16 batteries :-\ those servos need ALOT of power.. so i got to buy me a rechargable baterry pack..
as soon as my friend gets off her ass to come with me i can get videos of the buggy in action.. its not even fine tuned.. and running arround on 1st gear only and its fast as hell.. am transmitter has a long enough range for me.. looks like i wont be upgrading the stock system..

this buggy is the size of a large pillow..

no matter how awesome it is.. buyers remore is still there :'(

911 isn't an area code, it's a gangsta mode O0

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

yeah it is i was thinkin the same thing

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

yeah my dad bought me one of those for my 17th b-day. it hauled ass man, i let my friend borrow it and he took it to his racecar engine builder and the guy fucked with it and filled it with nitrous.then it hauled ass even more. and i tried to run it under a moving car and got it run over....

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

pretty badass

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

i just measured my buggy and it came out to more than 2 feet long too 8)

plus that engine is only 2hp.. my engine is 3.5 hp.. and 2.6hp at the wheels.. so the hp at the wheels for the traxxass is like what.. 1.3hp? less?

xtm xlb for teh win! ^-^

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

update:

BUYERS REMORSE IS GONE!

;D

i borrowed my friends ramp.. and this thing went atleast 10 feet in the air ;D ON FIRST GEAR. 2nd gear hasnt even been tuned yet!

this thing is the shizznut.. im gonna run it rich for 2 more tanks just to be on the safe side with break in..

im still getting used to the controls cause it cant pull off sharp turns like the xterminator..

im already thinking about upgrading to quad steering >:D

damn.. this thing hauls ass and its not even tuned yet..

i wonder if i could fit two motors on it.. i wouldnt know how to go about that.. but that would kick ass..

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

Weren't you just complaining last week about a $1000 heating bill and then you go and spend it on this Mr. Jayyousi?

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

i already said.. i sold both my cars 8)

my mom just bought a civic in florida.. 95 4door sticlk 50k miles for 3k dollars 8)

im going to go trade her my monte for the 95civic.. and sheyll give me 2k ontop of that..

then ill finally be boosted 8)

and i already said if u read :P its one of those times when u stay up late and just click the buy button.. the dudes shop closed at 8.. and it was 6.. and map quest said 3 hour drive :P i hauled ass down the freeway making out the rev limiter.. risking me having my liscence suspended.. AGAIN.. just so i could get the buggy.. retarded? yes.. did i regret it at first? yes.. do i regret it now? hell ------- no 8)

videos to come.. i bet i could jump a car with it :P either ill make it.. or you guys will see a funny video of a buggy going 40mph through my window and busting the buggy and the window :P top speed recorded by this buggy on grass and untuned on stock tires.. was 50mph.. i bet if i get some tires and do a hub conversion to run some rc slicks i could top that 8)

wow.. thats alot of smileys :P

im a smiley -----.. what can i say :D

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

i must be a puss....i'm rocking a touring car tamiya 414....all wheel drive, 2 belt, electric motor(12 triple mod in it now)....that thing owns all.....bigg carpet track by my house haven't raced in a while...all my money is going to my turbo project :y...ps don't no much about nitro...but i have heard break it in like you want to run it....

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

break in period is only 45 minutes long.. you run it rich as ---- for those 45 minutes.. run it for 2 minutes 25% throttle.. let it cool run it again 25% then let it cool.. then go half throttle.. then same thing for 75% and run it 75% the rest of the break in.. the oil that lubricates the engine is actually inside the nitro fuel itself.. so u run it rich to make sure everything is well lubricated.. but ur not supposed to go wide open throttle anytime.. but i couldnt supress the temptation >:D
videos coming as soon as my lazy freind gets off her ass.

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

turbo that ----!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

I've thought of it. I saw in person a guy make his own water-cooled motor. Runs no cooling head and only runs bout 140*F on the stock .15 Traxxas T-Maxx motor (older ones not new 2.5s or whatever). Had a radiator, water jacket, and seperate small 75cc (I believe) gas tank for the water. Pretty inventive and worked/ran flawlessly.


1/8th scale buggies are cool, but expensive. Saw one running with us on the track and they are AWD and hook like none other and fly. Fastest accelerating R/C of the groups that I have driven or seen in person. They are QUITE the racing R/C machine.


I haven't run mine and need a stock carb. Not to mention I like to ride in the things I make go fast. That's my hobby now that I can drive.

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

i was just kidding, someone had to say it. 90% of the cars on this forum are turboed

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

I've had a ---- ton of these cars, just last year I dropped almost $1000 to try and get back into the hobby but the little ---- that starts going wrong is even worse than with real cars. I only got back part of my investment when I sold some of the ----.

If you need glow plugs PM me cause I've got a sheet of like 12 of those fuckers I'll let go for cheap. Might have some other stuff you could be interested in wasting money on too.

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

ill let you know when mine run out ;)


update: this thing kicks ass...

cons:
NOT WATER PROOF!
i took it to the basebll field and the little gravel got into the gears of the tranny!
a little gravel got into the glow plug thing and i couldnt turn it on cause the glow starter wouldnt go all the way in >:(

after a couple runs the screws all go to hell.. im gonna get that blue ---- that makes screws not wiggle out..

xtm xlb > all cars

ive beat so many cars its not even funny..

my kill list is growing 8)

gonna run my friends buggy tomorrow.. and ----.. ive been trying to get a video of this sing since.. forever..

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

haha... good to hear you got it running. you do need to buy a rechargable servo bat pack, i have some for sale :D

waterproof, haha, yeah they are, at least mine "are" i run my ---- in the rain all the time :P it's more fun sometimes :y

get some vids nigga

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

Time for some bench racing...R/C style.

There's no way you could hang with my buggy, it weighs a lot less than yours and it's got a hot motor (Rody Roem modified C5) and a bigass wing. But the wing is the real reason you're going to lose...over the internet.

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

thats ------- badass ;D

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

my MAD TYTE XLB ripped the tires apart at wot.. didnt even catch any kind of traction.. and even after it did.. once that bad boy got into 2nd gear it ripped the tires even more.. on wet pavement :P



another con..
the starter.. pull starter.. get coated with oil.. so it slips.. so i had to take it apart to clean it.. wht a ------- bitch it what!
the pebbles in the gear box.. luckilly no damage.. but took me quite a while to get used to it..

then i took it apart one more time to make sure i mastered it 8)

cleaning up the buggy is a pain in the ass.. the air filter is zip tied on.. so its a pain to get off.. and a pain to get on.. too much ---- gets caught in the buggy.. if i made it.. i wouldnt make all thease crevases that would get stuffed with mud.

and for fucks sake. why the ---- couldnt this buggy be water proof?

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

dude, just put the reciever in a ballon and voila, waterproof 8)

I rock K&N filters on my r/c's :6

Oh and you should just get a starter box. Cost a bit of money, but that ---- is soooo much easier.

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

i was thinking about the ballon thing

i want a starter box sooo ------- badly :P but ive had pull starts forever = no blisters cause i got calisis :P
and the oil getting on the starter is only a problem during break in for me..

you ever post up videos of ur rc's?

posst up 8)

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

lol! I have like 3 starter boxes. Well maybe 2 now, I don't remember :P I think I sold one already.

I like pullstarts though, it's just that one of the r/cs I had, I had to use a starter box, no other option in order to have it setup the way i wanted.

I've been meaning to post some vids of my r/c's I think I will soon hopefully, maybe within a week. I got all sorts of ------' ----. I think vids would also be a good way of advertising them :D
