You guy's are killing me with all this talk of RC cars.
Just bought  this used Traxxas T-Maxx 2.5 Nitro monster truck off ebay. 

[D4D]

Thinking of offloading the Stampede as my son prefers his $50 special

Perfect running order, been used a handful of times, only one small bump, additional fast charger, all original boxes etc. Let me know if you're interested.

Could be interested but think the postage to Tasmania would be the killer on the deal.

at least I have someone to blame when it all goes pear shaped

I have a Wraith and an SCX10 Dingo sitting on the shelf looking for a new home.

Both in excellent condition.

I built a rock garden to use them on, but we don't seem to find the time to use them.

I want to get into the bigger Baja style buggies. Not sure of the scale, but they are about 3ft long.

Guys,
I have tried a whole bunch of cheap electric  RC buggy for my little boy. They last about a day wth him.
He wants something  good over grass/ dirt etc and a bit of speed. 
Seems only $50 or $300 plus , Anything in between? Any recomendations?
Cheers
Robert

Well that was short lived..........

Been at the caravan park since Monday, decided to get the truck out today, before it got to crowded for the long weekend. Once it was tuned and ready to go a crowd started to form around me. And what do you do when a crowd forms............. Show off.............

Oops half a tank of fuel later I'm carrying the truck back to my site with a blown front diff  first time I've done a diff so I don't carry spares.

I guess that's done for the weekend 

Now back to the  to drown my sorrows

Hi all.
I am getting inspired from the amount of RC cars here ( maybe at the next meet we can have a RC test track !!?? )..

Anyway does any one have one of these AXIAL SCX10 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 1/10 4WD RC Truck ??
I saw it on 4wd tv this arvo and it looked pretty good. Not sure what the alternatives would be but am open to suggestions and where to purchase one from

Then I jumped onto Youtube and found this guy that built a van ( bloody amazing detail ) for his jeep to keep GI Jane happy........

That sounds good and we can film it from above using the quad multi rotor.

I disconnected the front diff from the young blokes car. It needed a paddock to turn and was real sluggish to accelerate. Removed the front drive shaft, locked the centre diff and now it screams and will turn the tightest of corners. It then destroyed the rear diff, so I locked it. Now it's way cool. Loose, but way cool!

Thanks

It is a barrel load of fun. To drive it is very similar to driving the real thing.........just smaller. You need to think about the same lines, obstacles and such. It is a lot more fun to drive than the Wraith. Don't get me wrong, the Wraith is a good speed toy, but the wrangler is must so much scale fun.

Hmmmm, let me see, can you upgrade it...........the SCX10 is very easy to upgrade and there are a tonne of parts available........this one now owes me a bit over $1000 above the original purchase price..........so yeah plenty you can upgrade..........and still more for me to do if I want to.

So far running, alloy bead locks, IROK tyres, upgrade shocks/springs, 35 turn motor, winch, high power servo, full alloy axles front and rear, wraith alloy suspension links, roof rack, full alloy steering, CV front steering knuckles, solid steel drive shafts aluminium front and rear bars and a fair bit of home made alloy bits

Yeah it is fun and addictive

thanks Craig....
I think you just sold me one
