Nitro and Electric RC Trucks, Truggies, Short Course, etc.

[liquidh8]

Just figured with all the car guys on here, some of you have got to be into this. I have a small collection of my own. Always puts a smile on my face whether bashing or racing.

I have:
Traxxas Jato, Rustler, Slayer and Slash. The slash is electric for my girls. I also have a LOSI ***-NT with all the graphite parts, and the mini raminator (electric). Oh, and a Duratrax evader with an HPI engine on it.

All the traxxas trucks are all hopped up, so much fun. I have to post some pics.

nice..i,ve been into the rc thing for around 20yrs on and off..as of the last 5 yrs mostly into scale trail trucks..mostly detailed with rust and dents) :lol: , rock crawlers, all pretty much custom builds.. i do have alot of the fast stuff but mostly electric..only nitro,s i have are an team magic 1/8th buggy, an original kyosho landmaxx 1/8 rally and a thuder tiger mann race semi that is nitro. since work has stopped me from competing time wise i have switched hobbies and now into my regal full time .i will be selling an item here and there to finance my 1.1
heres a few pics of my favorite scaler..its a modified tamiya bruiser so we are talking 26+ years old and the body is hand made out of aluminum so it dents



this is how it looks underneath..thats a brass gear 3spd syncromesh transmission


flex shot..pretty good for a leafsprung rig


some rust :lol:

Man that is BA! Nice work there! I love the nitro stuff, being a gear head and all. I have only recently got the electrics, just to hit the indoor tracks over the winter. I have to figure out how to get the pics from my phone to the site.

I to will be selling some stuff. My Jato and Losi ***-NT are going on the bay I think. Need to fund the 1:1.

The Losi ***-NT is an old truck. New engine and everything they make in graphite this thing has. Fun truck and handles great.

cool rigs and nice paint, those jatos are very fast, i hear ya on the speed thing..its funny but its the selling point to alot of traxxas , they make alot of cool stuff.. but they are not drivable really at 60mph+..lol straight line stuff only..i have a few electrics that are good for 100mph+ theoretically but tricky getting them to stay on the ground and tires is a huge one. the losi,s were allways good racecars..last rc i bought was the losi 8 mini, lots of fun and handles real nice. heres a few pics of a few including my nitro.s, mann race rig throw in a slash 4wd and a few others i painted..first for the muscle car guys..which would be all of us, the cudafish..lol

Re: Nitro and Electric RC Trucks, Truggies, Short Course, et

NICE. They are some nice rigs. The high speed is right. To fast for anywhere I run them. I got some good staitaways, but the leave my sight to fast, lol. I would love to see some slashes.

I have the 2wd I am converting to the LCG rustler chassis. It's brushed for now, so my 4 and 7 yr old can run it and I don't have to worry about an expensive motor and ESC.

I've got an ECX Ruckus for bashing on and I recently picked up an Axial SCX10.
Both are a lot of fun to mess around with.

Re: Nitro and Electric RC Trucks, Truggies, Short Course, et

Oh yeah! I was baching them around yesterday. Cracked the new proline body on the Slayer already. Brocket the graphite shock tower on the LOSI. And exploded the RR wheel bearing on the Rustler. Lol, so much fun!

Re: Nitro and Electric RC Trucks, Truggies, Short Course, et

I got an Associated RC10T3 (electric). Just switched it over to brushless now looking for some cheap LiPos. And I have and Associated RC10GT (Nitro) with an O.S. Max CRV .18 engine. Pretty fast. I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

Re: Nitro and Electric RC Trucks, Truggies, Short Course, et

Associated has some nice stuff too! I'd like to see some of those pics.

I have been meaning to get some more pics of my stuff. I'll try to in a few days and post em up.
