i payed about 300 off ebay for mine
i need to get it fixed then the fun will start, come spring thou, i plan on getting an rc plane
|
Uchi
|
you gonna crash that too?
|
lostsoul
|
I know I would crash, I would not mind getting a car, but I doubt I would get much use out of it. Planes and Choppers are Nuts man, that shit takes alot of time and skill.
|
Uchi
|
i played with my rc car for the first time in over 2 years this past summer, i used it twice. it just sits here and collects dust but shit is it fast
|
BrAnDoN
|

Something about spending $1200 on an RC car is just wrong! LOL!
|
BrAnDoN
|
LOL its over time like a new upgraded motor and tires and bodys and drive shafts some times even investing in a carbon fiber chassis(which i always do cause there lighter and stronger) stuff like that i even at one point had spinners on my truck once LOL i bought an escalade body and made it looked slammed with the spinners was way to cool looking
|
ZukChic
|
but its still a toy right??? can you actually race them for money or something or is it just 1200 spent for fun??
|
BrAnDoN
|
yeah you can race them in wellend theres a track there and you win stuff like other cars controllers parts and of course $$$$$
|
ZukChic
|
Thats not bad then if your going to get something out of it, but as a mom i can NOT see spending 1200 on a friggin toy...altho I'm sure the 2 boys would love it LOL
|
BrAnDoN
|
hahaha there are cars you can get that are much cheap there called battery opperated LOL they suck but you can race them for cash and stuff to there pretty much just like nittro cars only no noise and they die quicker but they can go almost as fast as the gas one ALMOST LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YEAH RIGHT
|
ZukChic
|
LOL i can just see them racing around the house and under my feet...I think i'll pass lol
|
BrAnDoN
|

|
lostsoul
|
LOL could you imagine, Uhhhhhhhh I am addicted to racing my RC car.
|
ZukChic
|
HAHAHAHA ya actually I can see Kevin saying that all to clearly LOL
|
lostsoul
|
I believe that one!
|
ZukChic
|
hahaha for sure
|
shortbus

tab, theyre to quick to be racing around your feet, when these cars get going they can do alot of damage to someone, mine took denis right of his feet and landed on his head, now to you who know my son, hes a pretty tough boy, but he came right down on a rock and gashed his head good, right down to the bone, i dont think i ever felt so bad in my life , but he learned not to chase after the car anymore... and bateman, as for the airplane, you buy yourself a trainer and start with that, there pretty stable and somewhat easy to fly.... they one i want to get is about 500 bucks....
|
ZukChic
|
haha this aint Tab LOL it's Cathy, and my luck they would aim at me and try to knock me off my feet
|

|
Uchi

that little jeep is awsome, thing will walk up a wall in low range mode, its definatly cool, tires are soft as crap too, you just watc hthem form over top of whatever theyre climbing on and the suspension travel is unreal.
heres a link to a board that deals with just these rc crawlres, these guys put alot of money and time into these things and make them really cool.
id like to do one with a nitro motor

Sounds good Shaun, we could set up some Scale climbs as well as there is alot of smaller rocks out there that we can get at easy enough to make a climb for them.
|
BrAnDoN
|
would be cool to watch that
|
Uchi
|
brandon most of your posts are lol and hahaha and other random crap so i just skip over half the stuff you say.
put that thing back together and come get your licks bitch
|
lostsoul
|
Uchi, were in this area other than E bay can one get these things, I am going to look at a Crawler for next year?
|
BrAnDoN
|
just go to any hobby shop and ask them to order you one it will cost less to order through the hobby shop cause you only pay the price of the truck not the shipping and the best place to go is the hobby shop on st.paul street or the hobby rc shop in thorold
|
Uchi
|
rob check the link i put up for the rc crawler sit. those guys sell alreay modded trucks pretty cheap. or checkwalmart over theboarder they carry the iones like matts jeep
