The R3V R/C car,truck thread.

I miss my old buggy, had so much fun racing that thing.

Pretty useless if not on a track though, which is why I went to my E-maxx, which gets used even less....

With bald screw around wheels on


Where I used to race


Racing that buggy was great fun. Never thought I could zone out while racing an RC car, but it definitely happens!

That way I have something to occupy my time while my car sits in parents garage.

Looking through this thread makes me really want to get another rc. Specifically I want to build an m3. There's plenty of 200mm m3 bodies floating around, so what's the suggested chassis, either for drift or touring?

I have the Tamiya TT01 drift kit chassis with the pretty destroyed e30 m3 shell. Having had 60mph+ monster trucks and buggies, I think I'm most happy with my stock drift car and mini rock crawler.

I need to get something a little more tame than my E-maxx.

It's sad when I have to go somewhere to take out my RC Car because I'm too afraid of causing serious damage to a neighbors vehicle or leg.

Id just grab a tt-01 if you dont care about high quality stuff, you can always add higher quality parts later but other then that tt-01 is a good starter drift car, you can get one that comes with an M3 body pre painted too.

Brands for you to browse:

Tamiya
Team associated
Traxxas
HPI
Sakura

The nice part about most of these brands is they have tons of hop ups, so If you bought a tt-01d and got bored of drifting, you can buy AT tires and 65mm dampers and make it into a rally car.

I hadn't touched the thing, but started sliding it around the shop at school this past week to release some tension from all the final projects I have due lol. It's the perfect area, it's pretty slick so it takes some getting used to, but it's perfect for this car.


But yeah, I know the feeling. I have a broken and sitting in parts Rustler VXL, 3.3 modded tmaxx and I think a stampeded and something else. No money, alway breaking, etc etc. The Rustler held up to a ton of abuse with no broken parts, but one of the ESC wires must have strained and pulled a chunk out of the board with it, so that donated some parts to the tt01.

I picked up a 3racing Sakura xi sport for about $110 a few weeks ago, and love the chassis. Bone stock, it drives amazingly. It is incredibly smooth and predictable, is fun to build, and had a broad range of hop up options.

It's world beyond the (very old, but fully built up) tamiya tl-01 chassis I have. The tamiya became a drift car, which is lots of fun as well.

Thinking about snagging one of these.

Run dual 2s high mah lipos and bash it. Sounds fun.

Sounds pretty decent from the page on it. Never heard of basher before though.

I just heard of it a few days ago, It has some good support of various rc forums.

In that style of truck is take a look at the traxxas rustler too, see them all the time, they are stoopid fast too.

[mbonanni]

The rustler is 2wd though. Not much fun in dirt. I've had a few rustlers and other 2wd trucks. I really like the truggy style.
