RC vehicles

[CYCLEERIC]

This Revo has a brand new 2.5r in it now and I was just reading the reccomended Traxxas break-in and yes it does look boring . My buddies told me of a new style banzai break-in and I may try that on this engine . After I get used to driving with the stock 2.5r I'm gonna get a RB323 for it . Awesome power in that thing .

RB Conept.. Hmmm.. The best motor you can buy at the cost of constant rebuilds. Grear motor though.

Was into it big time for a while. Just down to one car now. HPI.

 

[MrGxr]

Just run it around the neighborhood now, does around 45mph actual, but at that speed it eats the battery down fast.

Here's the CLK with a mini Busa...

This rocks I thought I was the only one

I have a Savage & Lightning 1/8th scale buggy and looking at getting a gas powered motorcycle next

If the weather permits Im racing my Meance on Friday. I'll shoot a clip on how fast this thing is.

I used to be in it heavy too. Novarossi motors sure do wake up those HPI's for sure. We had a two speed Novarossi car that was clocked by a police-gun radar at 87 MPH. I had every bolt-on and aftermarket piece available in the car. After awhile I could no longer hop-up the car and got bored with it all and sold it to a neighbor for dirt cheap.
Fun stuff though for sure!

Next time you do this, can I be your neighbor?

Or mine, the RS4 evo I had I invested $1,500 in and sold it for 400.00 after running it once. The Savage had over 1k in it and I sold it for 350.00.

My next savage will be built using Integy products. After all hop-ups and a RB-Concepts powerplant it should run me around $3,500 bucks.

Its crazy how quickly the money goes too...... Its like a drug addiction!!!

 

[TheAtomicAss]

Hmm... This looks neat. Anyone got a page describing the engine setup? I assume it's 2 stroke but I mean other parts like ignition, how the carb works, etc...

And can you string several engines together? Like if I wanted to make an inline-12 wheelie monster?

 

[grabntwist]

I thought Id resurect an old thread.. I found more pics. This was my HPI Savage. I ran a F-350 body on it. (not pictured)

 

[grabntwist]

Great articulation.

 

[grabntwist]

compared to the stock wheels.

 

[grabntwist]

viper eater

 

[grabntwist]

about 5" of clearance. The truck weighed about 24lbs and maxed out (GPS) @ 28 mph. Much faster if I had left it stock.

ive always wanted to get a gas rc, and make a rock krawler out of it

 

[grabntwist]

RC4WD is the place for to go. I had my savage geared as low as possible and it made a great rock crawler. A bit on the heavy side though. The site above makes the sickest beadlocks. Two other sites that are great are Integy for just pure exotic cool stuff, and Rc solutions for their killer roll cages.
