Re: RC guys

i have put somany parts into the rustler already .... damit

I hear what you're saying LOL!
That's where they get ya in the pocket book. Spend a couple of hundred on the vehicle and then another couple of hundred on parts. Hehe!
I'm after replacing everything from a simple prop nut up to a whole body kit for some of my aircraft. It seems no matter the hobby, they always get expensive.

Incidently, I have just ordered another EP aircraft; a Parkzone Messerschmitt BF109G. Check out the video link.

Re: RC guys

RC junkie right here!
I'm into RC 1/16 scale armor and RC aircraft.
I have a 1/16 scale Panzer III, a Tiger I, and a King Tiger; all with airsoft cannons which is alot of fun (not so much for the wife and the cats. Hehe!)

I am really big into the RC aircraft though. Specifically electric parkflyers and EDFs (electric ducted fan jets.)
I currently have a Bellancia Decathelon trainer, a Parkzone F4U Corsair, a Spitfire, a P51 Mustang, a F5E Tigershark, a SU-27 twin ducted fan, a F35 EDF, and a Parkzone SU-26 micro aerobatic aircraft.
Electrics have come a long way in the last 15 years. With brushless motors and Lipo batteries, they can match the performance of the nitros. One big advantage of the electrics over the nitros is they can be flown safely in any park and of course the price. Also, no messy fuel or maintnenace for electrics, just charge the battery and go.

Re: RC guys

I currently have.....

2 Tamiya Clodbusters 1 original and 1 super (I don't really use them much just wanted to build a collector)

1 Axial AX-10 Crawler

1 Micro desert (1/36th scale) truck with a brushless kit

1 3905 E-maxx (the fully waterproof one) running dual 4400mah batteries

1 Tamiya King cab stadium truck. Been trying to finish getting it put back together as I broke it about 15 years ago, just need to find all the parts in the basement now.

I had a heavily modded Traxxass Revo for a while but hated having a nitro truck so sold it and bought the E-maxx, having a lot more fun with it.


Hope the buggy is treating you well Stefan, I miss it sometimes.

Re: RC guys

I've got the E-Flite Blade MCX too (same as Derek and Stefan). Fun little helicopter. I'd consider selling it as well. Someone buy Derek's, then buy mine and have two to play with. I'm getting more into RC airplanes now, but don't have of my own just yet.
