I am pretty big into the whole RC scene :)

Mainly doing offroad at this point. I have started running indoor dirt oval recently as well.

Here goes...

Kyosho TKI3 Spec A (Novarossi/Maxy Powered)
TLR 22SCT
TLR SCTE 2.0
TLR 22B
TLR 22T
Losi Mini Late Model
Original .15 Tmaxx!
And a few other shelf queens. Most notable is my NIB original Tamiya Bruiser. Not the re release, the original 80's one lol. Also have a few of them that I run around some.

Yeah, I got back into it after taking a 20 yr break... LMAO!!!

Holy moly have things changed. When I was running R/C cars at a teenager, I drooled over gas powered cars. Fast forward 20 yrs and I could afford a gas powered car, fortunately a buddy of mine gave me his old gas powered cars. I rebuilt it entirely with billet parts. Biggest mistake ever!!!! I spent more than I would have buying a new kit!!

Anyway, thought it was cool for a little. Maintenance on nitro R/Cs is a royal PITA.

I looked into electric stuff and I could not believe the leaps and bounds electric technology has made!! Nitro powered R/C have been left behind!! The instant torque and power of these new brushless motors and Lipo batteries produce is mind boggling!! You now have electric car running at 100MPH or more.

Although, I can't see trying to drive an R/C over 50-60mph...it gets squirrelly.

Anyway, I have the car my buddy gave me HPI RS4 EVO.

Been modding the Exo Terra a little:

DSC00275_zpsfe5f1f01.jpg


Added 1/8th scale wheels and tires due to the stock tires ballooning at WOT.
I forgot to mention I have a 550 (1/8 scale) motor in there (1/10 scale buggy).
I also had to add sway bars, front and rear along with new Proline shocks.

Been also working on the crawler adding scaled accessories...you get bored with it after a while, so you need to mod it to light the flame again. LOL

Kind of like our real cars... LOL
But much much cheaper...sort of.

I had a Taxxas Nitro Sport not too long ago and it was fun as hell. Did and engine swap, gears, etc and that thing moved. A lot more affordable than modding our cars lol.

I will play

Hand built Yota 2.2 the front and rear fenders are pinched for clearance.

It's being painted as the general Lee as we speak.

I got more just need to dig up pictures. I have a couple HPI Savages, a Revo, a Zilla crawler, and a few boats ranging from a 10" mini cat to a RCMB28 powered 52" hydro that runs 83 on a gps.

STOP, DROP IT, AND RUN!!!

Seriously, fun as a hobby. Can become another addiction. This addiction can get very expensive.

Spent my time on the track, and now my youngest brother is working on getting better sponsorships. Good thing he still lives with mom and dad, that stuff is even more expensive than when I was at it.

Back to fun hobby...
Keep it a hobby.
