Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

So I have really gotten into RC cars lately. I spend all my spare time on ebay looking for deals. I have bought 3 in the last few weeks.

This is what I want but its allmost $1k. Watch the vid. Its ------- gtreat!! 23cc four stroke motor. But is it work $1k? :-\

I spent a ---- ton of money on r/c ----. I still have a bit left, I always "just about" buy a new one every once and a while when I get the itch. I use them for a while, mod the ---- out of it and get board when all the hop up parts are done. It would be cool if you lived near a track. That big bitch is cool, I want a very close replica 1/4 scale monster truck with a real 1/4 scale v8 and a supercharger.

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

Holy ----, supercharged RC car... only one i've ever seen like that was a little drift car that would burn rubber and hit like 20 mph. I can't justify $1k for a RC car when I could go by a real car for that. Or but a new ballbearing turbo for that matter.

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

As far as a track goes, that thing would be perfect to run where I go rum my quad. Lots of sand and tons of open land. Wo needs a track. :6

It takes me a while to "get bored" of ---- when I get into it. I'm doing the smart thing and buing used ---- in good condition. I would never pay full price for something.....except that baja buggy ;).

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

I used to be into rc cars when I was in Junior High and part of High School. Oh Traxxas Sledgehammer...those were the day. I always like the looks of the older Tamiya stuff like the Blackfoot and Midnight Pumpkin. They had the like the hard plastic body and were basically like the things you could buy at Walmart but you just had to put them all together and were faster. Memories.. :'( My one nephew is into rc cars and gets one like every holiday.

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

I had the Blackfoot, the crappy part about that one was that the frame was also plastic and I cracked it running into a wall at the track. Those new gas powered ones look pretty cool though.

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

I have a Nitro RS-4 Pro, I think....that tells ya how much I play with it. It's cool when I get the itch, but like Highroller said, it would be better if I had a track to run it on. That buggy looks pretty raw though ;D

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

buy my 1/7th scale xtm xlb

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

I had a Blackfoot too. I loved it. I had alot of upgrades on it too and then I broke it. :'(

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

$5?

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

i had a hpi electric car, it was fun but charging it every 5 minutes was lame. plus the hop up parts cost almost as much as car parts and id rather hop up the one i can sit in

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

i've got a late 80's early 90's rc10l (mkI or mkII i cant tell, its that old) and it does about ~70 on a p2k armature in a mod motor can. 7.2v madness yo

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

:y
RC cars are the ---- though. I think some of it has to do with "I don't have a car" (a real one)... Otherwise you bet your ass I'd have an rc car.

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

what scale is that buggy an whats the specs on the engine

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

i didnt read the thread cause im too ------ lazy right now, but RC cars are ------ fun, an expensive hobby for sure though

i bought a nitro rustler for $200, in a year i've put $400 into parts i've broken

there alot more fun when you live near a track, i race every sunday when winter is over, the end of this year we had a jumping contest, i busted damn near everything, i even snapped the mount for the motor, but i fell short of the guy in first place so i ziptied it back on and went for one more

to the OP... i dont particularly reccomend jumping that one... lol

if ya got 1K to blow on it, snag it, break it, fix it, do it over again

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

rc cars are awesome, ive had the same two electric ones since i was probably 12 year old

ive been thinking about picking up a nitro buggy or truck recently.

damn a 4 stroke motor? i thought most of the nitro ones were 2 stroke

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

cant u get an ATV for like 1k and use that in the dunes?

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

you should just ------' buy my r/c cars

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

1/5th scale.(32 insches long), 23cc, 2HP, 2 stroke gas engine.

I allready have one ;)

My bad, I meant two stroke gasoline.


Murdok what do you have thats a nitro? On road and off road.

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

they are. 4-strokes are nice because at lower rpm's (even though they have 1/3 the rpm of 2-stroke) they have more torque and power, ie good concept for larger trucks even though you need more displacement. also, 4-strokes will get you sometimes well over 20mins on a tank of gas vs 10 at best on 2-stroke.

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

id like to get into that sometime soon, but imma broke nigga, aint got no munay...... :S

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

ill sell you a 1/7 xlb for $50, all it needs is a pullstart

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

holy ---- those things are amazing! what are they 1/6 scale? i love it how they just float over the top of the dunes.

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

i wouldn't know where to get one of those if i knew what it was :1 :S

Re: Since I will probably never own another Honda.....
 

I used to race them a few years back. My last one was an HPI Pro3.
I loved racing. :)
Ive got a set of new slicks for sale if u need them :)
May have a few other things left. PM me if youre interested
