I was big into rc myself.I had 1/4 boats.I've designed and built rc cars and motorcycles.I really was obsessed with them.I had one of those 1/6 scale rock crawlers.It was great!Someday i'll get back into it.I might bring one of my little bikes with me to vir.thinking_smilie

[Ready2Fight]

I wanted to get the thunder tiger ducati just never got around to it. I use to have the kyosho nsr 500 back when I was a kid its probabaly still in my dads attic. I have had quite a few r/cs over the years. I have a gas hydroplane boat i havent had out in about 9 years couple of planes mostly trucks and buggys few on road cars. Hobby cost more than my big toys do.

[Ready2Fight]

maybe tommaro I'll take some pics of the 33 3 window coupe hot rod I'm building all tube frame R/C with a 1/8 scale .21 gas motor in it hand made solid axle like an old gasser

[GaRsNoW]

Cool! I'm pretty big into r/c...Been into it for about 13 years. Right now I've got an HPI Savage X, and a tamiya tt01 I've turned into a drift car

[Ready2Fight]

The savage is a good truck. I had a tmaxx when they first came out 2 weeks after I got it I bought the hardcore racing .21 chassis then all the other upgrades because all it did was brake parts. I had a ton in that thing banghead

Oh i also had one of those new era 1/4 scae offroad truck with the quick change rearend and a 54cc chainsaw motor in it.That thing was an absolute animal! A full size adult could sit on it and ride it with no problem.Heres a few pics of some custom built car/buggy.

[Ready2Fight]

Do you still have the car and the buggy? 1/4 scale rocks but man there $. That mustang is pretty sweet the 33 I'm building is a front engine style on your mustang if you pulled the plastic motor out and put the nitro motor there thats how mine is set up.

[Ready2Fight]

What I would really like to have is a conely machine v8 and build a 1/4 scale gasser.

That mustang is pretty sweet the 33 I'm building is a front engine style on your mustang if you pulled the plastic motor out and put the nitro motor there thats how mine is set up.I sold them both last year. Originally i was gonna put the nitro motor where the plastic motor is.But since i decided to put a .21 sized motor in a 1/10th car.I needed as much weight in the rear.I had live rearend it sorta resembled a ford rearend.Plus with the 2spd tranny i figured it would be best to have the motor somewhat protected incase of a highspeed crash.The car would just roast the tires through 1st and 2nd gear going pulling sideways off the line.LOL The buggy was real easy to build.The car wasn't because it was built like a jigsaw puzzle.At the time i didn't have machines so i used spare parts i had from 7 different cars.So i'll never be able to make that one again.
I do have plans of building a 1969 chevy camaro.It should come out pretty sweet.
What I would really like to have is a conely machine v8 and build a 1/4 scale gasser.The conley's were badass but couldn't really take much abuse. That guy was a genius

[Ready2Fight]

Here are a few more the jeep I built about 6 years agon had to dig it from the attic. couple of pics of the coupe so you get the idea will post more when its up on it wheels. Yes those are little leaf springs there going under the front like the old gasser dragsters.

[swheels]

That's gonna look SSIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK.thumbsup2

[Ready2Fight]

It will probably just sit and spin the back tires and be out of control but who cares it will be the only one.

YouTube - RC turbo charger

[Ready2Fight]

Thats cool wonder if it works? There was a company out a few years ago making r/c super chargers they didn't work. There is a company now that makes a nitrous kit for r/c cars and it does work you can find videos on youtube I wouldn't mind trying that.

[swheels]

No they don't work for these little motors.
one of the companies that made the superchargers was RB innovations.I'll do ya one even better.How about fuel injection and a micro computer that fits on the vehicle that reads the rpm and the motor temp in realtime.thumbsup2

[Ready2Fight]

Hey swheels Rb is the company that makes the nitrous shot they use whip cream N2O same size as a CO2 cartrage go on youtube look up tmaxx on nitrous. The superchargers are a joke.

[swheels]

Yeah i've seen the nos system work.thumbsup2
