Some of my RC car vids...

[fdjizm]

first bitches.

HPI RS4-3 102mph (gas)


Ofna LX2E 93mph (electric)


Ofna hyper 7 (gas) 72mph


Ofna Hyper 7 55mph crash into camera


This is the little side hobby that keeps me sane

They must be a bear to drive at those speeds. The steering input be so delicate. Its out of range in a few seconds.

 

[fdjizm]

Yea not easy to keep straight gotta stay focused!
Range is no really an issue, I am running the car in the first vid from at least 500ft away passing myself then about 100ft to stop after with a futaba FASST 2.4ghz radio.
When it does go out of range (rarely) or the battery goes low on the car the reciever hits the brakes for me.

 

[Mystickeith50]

Yeah it's impossible at that speed to not eat it almost every time. Awesome vids. I got my revo to do like 74 and it was a death trap lol.

 

[fdjizm]

I've gotten the electric buggy up to 99mph lately.
that's 9.5lbs going 99 mph I can probably just throw the car out if it crashes at that speed.

Charts pretty cool. I've just gotten into RC recently, but into aircraft not cars
I want to build a quad rotor drone to put a camera on.

 

[suprchrgd]

awesome! glad you got the 100mph run you were looking for

 

[kylecm85]

That's awesome. I played with short course trucks a little bit. They where fun. I can imagine what it's like trying to control those at that kind of speed.

 

[Deez-67]

I still have my team associated pan car from when I raced as a kid... I get it out every now and then... they are a blast

I want to find a 05 mustang body for it.

I know they have to make one I've just been out of the loop for so long I wouldn't know where to get one.


This is so bad ass

 

[Fastbreak]

How much does a setup like that run?

 

[Doug M]

Sweetness, I would rock one.

 

[Deez-67]

How much does a setup like that run?

It's been years sence I was into them but they are a lot like your car... you can put in as much as you want and more $ means more fun.

I know I had $1500 or so into one of better RC cars.

My car would be like running a stock fox body to a new shelby. lol I think the fastest I had mine running was around 70.

 

[kylecm85]

When I use to run I saw a guy with a s197 body pan car. I want to say it wa a RTR car.

 

[fdjizm]

Went out today with the LX2e, new record for me first ever brushless car too! lol



best run was 102mph but I got a vid of a 101mph run^

 

[Doug M]

I lol'd when it buzzed by. that was fast. I was thinking what it would look like if you clipped one of those rocks at that speed..lol..sweet!

 

[fdjizm]

It would look pretty bad I may be able to recover a wheel and the wing lol.

I walk down the whole thing to clean up random rocks before I run It's a 3 mile long fresh paved greenway for bikers/walkers/runners.
I wait till it's clear do my walk and make a few runs, I probably use around 200ft of clear space before and after where I am standing.

 

[Doug M]

I kept waiting and then vroom..lol, I barely saw it.

 

[etc1006]

Brushless and LiPo FTW!

 

[VTXFrank]

I gotta fix my helicopter. I'm into the flying machines. Bad thing there is, you tend to jack shit up more often. I had a Corsair I used to fly that was clocked at 145mph. Then I did a high speed pass at about 80' into a 90° straight up climb. There must of been a crack in the wing spar I hadn't seen on inspection cause that thing just exploded in mid-air about 100' off the ground. I never even found the motor. Just some pieces with servo rods hanging out. LOL!

 

[fdjizm]

Damn that's nuts! I would love me a nice rc JET, have you seen those things they are nuts! how the hell do you stay in range with them? lol
