RC Car Fanclub
This thread is for fans and guys who have a RC car (gas or electric).
Show us pictures of your RC car. Tuning, controller, motor etc. Show us your dream RC car that you will or would like to buy. Discuss anything you want about them. I shall start, as I love RC cars very much, with some pictures of my Peugeot 206 WRC. I removed the vinyls, brushed it and i am currently adding new vinyls (with the spray-paint). The 1st one is sparco:
This is the body:
This is the controller. Too bad that i forgot my antena at my friend (he lives 4 km from here). So I told him to get it back by tomorrow 3.00 pm GMT+2:
Now i shall post the secret. Get any vinyl that fits the car and it's not too complicated on an A4. Then cut the letters or image, and you should have a hole in the paper in the form of the vinyl. Now paper glue it to the plastic bodykit. Then spray gently from about 20 - 30 cm until it's covered (do not spray lots as it will peal off later, in about 2 months, be careful). After 8 - 10 minutes strip the paper gently , but very gently as the paint is not dry yet. Then let it for another 30 mins - 1 hour. Enjoy!

Like the Raven ST. This is the one I have, exact colour and everything. Much cheaper and easier to run than nitro cars and it just goes like stink. I've won all my races with this baby

Re: RC Car Fanclub
2006 topic... Hmm.
But look at what I found in storage today! My Grasshopper II, which was given to me about 13 years ago. It has loads of battle scars, covered up with pen markings and tape. 70% of the time I used it... I broke the front suspension, or some other expensive component which my dad had to end up fixing. Pretty much everything on it has been replaced or upgraded from the original model, using parts from newer grasshopper or hornet cars. Very fun/quick electric RC car though!

Re: RC Car Fanclub
Nice buggy, love the old-school look. It doesn't look that beat-up to me . . . you should see my Ferrari, it's a dirt-covered wreck
It's a Tamiya TL-01, had it for years, but I hardly ever use it. Last time was at work, which was fun with the oily concrete floor. Cleaning it is not fun, however.
btw you have the same controller as me too

Re: RC Car Fanclub
The Grasshopper endured quite a lot of pain. I think it would be happy that I'm no longer driving it off large flights of concrete stairs to impress my school mates.boganbusman wrote:Nice buggy, love the old-school look.

I always loved RC cars like the Tamiya TL-01. Looks like you could add any shell/cover to the chassis

Re: RC Car Fanclub
Yeah you can, but I think most of the on-road type R/C cars have that feature.jacoja06 wrote:boganbusman wrote:Looks like you could add any shell/cover to the chassis

Re: RC Car Fanclub
i get a monthly catalog from tower hobbies and fortunately the prices for some gas cars are going down to about $150-$200, so i might be getting one soon. Other than that i race a little iwaiver at my local hobby shop with little sucess. Too many times i break the front suspension, but iwaiver's "mini's are cheap anyways. I'm going to quit them and go to the Mini-z's soon.
