The R3V R/C car,truck thread.

[SmokeE30]

god damn this thread makes me want to start wasting money on rc cars again, i thought i learned my lesson with my tmaxx but i feel like im catching the bug again. at least this time i know im staying away from nitro cars next time, $30 per gallon is to rich for my blood.

Well I got a TT-01 Type E used from a guy.

All decked out with Castle Brushless electronics and a Spektrum RX/TX

Probably going to splurge and get the 3Racing Sakura Drift chassis though.

And then my M3 body.

AHHHHHYEEAAHHHH

Sweet, finally a thread for all things R/C.

I'll have to get pictures next weekend, I don't have the cars with me right now.

I've got a
- Revo 2.5 with a Tekno electric conversion kit, and the extended chassis
- Losi XXX - cr
- Traxxas Slash 2wd

The revo doesn't have electronics in it yet, but the other two are running Novak brushless kits.

Way to much for a servo. They shouldn't be more than 15$ the one that comes with the controller should suffice until your ready to upgrade.

i was hoping this would be a bim bam boom, and im ready to rock sorta thing...

and the servo that comes with the futanaru controller is .19 seconds... :(


i found another.


ewwwww 60$ steering servo?? WAT

[rocco16v]

i love this stuff here is a pic from this past summer...


and my new project i just picked up off craigslist

not bad for $100 but i just ordered a bunch of new parts to convert it to a XL

but i also have a traxxas 1/16th summit and revo and a few more savages.

Well my second post. That's the joy in RCs. Almost unlimited possibilities only limited by imagination/budget.

Yes much homework u need to do.

[Pl3wA]

Aww man now I need new pictures

you were referring to this post right?

ok, ok. i thought this was going to be easy. ill look into it s'more

[Pl3wA]

i just went full retard

[Pl3wA]

ummm... aha.. ahem...

i guess i gotta find out what speed these servos are. shits complicated. i mean, i guess i could go with cheaper slower gear. but how could i live with myself knowing that i couldve gotten better

[E30_Pare]

Just make sure the esc can handle it. & your golden.

[E30_Pare]

Ya that radio is fine.

For steering servos your going to want something 0.10 sec & faster. Mines a no name brand all I know is its fast & torquey. It's like a 0.08 sec.

As for batteries I'd look into LiPos.

Check my first post your going to need a charger.

I recommend the gens ace mars charger. Your also going to need a power supply. I also recommend their batteries. Best bang buck.

If your running a stock motor you'd want something like a 2 cell 3600-5000mah 40c lipo+
