RC cars?

[slowchevy]

I haven't seen a thread on these in a while. I could be wrong, but search didn't show anything recent.

Just getting back into it after a few year hiatus. Bought a Tamiya TT02 and did a mild build to get my feet wet again.

Tamiya TT02 911 RSR Kit
Amazon off brand 9t Brushless / brushless ESC
Older Futaba radio system

Body :
Pactra Purple Crush Pearl
Pactra Indy Silver

Wheels :

Barrel - Testors matte silver aerosol
Face - Rustoleum for plastic gloss black, rustoleum Colorshift galaxy blue pearl.

For some reason the pearl leeched the color off the black and turned them into a grey pearl. I'll take it.

Considering going full alloy convert on it with a carbon tub. There's plenty of kits out there to do this.

The one I'm looking at..



post your projects.

I don't even want to look at my RC cars right now.

Every single LiPo for my larger cars is junk. I need to replace the entire set. Which is about $600 worth of batteries.

The only LiPo's still going strong are the 2 and 3 cell LiPo's for my 1/14th scale Mini 8ight buggy. Which is frustrating because they are CHEAP to replace, just $15 for a 3S pack.

But the big cars I have require twin 3S 5000mah LiPo's to feed the hungry beast that is a Castle 1717 motor.

The 1717 as compared to a Monster can. The 1717 comes in over 1lb and supports some serious power draw. Draw that my batteries just can't provide any more.

This reminds me that I need to dig my shit out and sell it

same. got a traxxas truck of some sort over at my patterns. it's probably worth $60 but I'm sure they'd appreciate any space that my shit isn't taking up at their house

Thinking of selling my Jato and going electric. Need to finish a new body I've been fitting to the truck and then might gauge interest.
