r/c

I know it's easy and cheap to just order whatever you need anymore. But I kinda miss the DIY aspect of rc crawlers. We used to build our own links, chassis, battery mounts, link mounts, even axles :laughing: I want to build some of my own parts with the kids crawler, but also want to be wieght...

I think the kids have outgrown the 24s, no amount of mods makes them fun to crawl with my 1/10th scale. My middle kid is the most interested and will still try to play follow the leader. So I decided to get the 1/10th version of his deadbolt and build something that should be fun to crawl with...

Ive been into rc cars and crawlers for awhile but mostly nerd out on crawlers. Axial ar44s, 1.9s based builds. Figured I should do a thread on them. Going to be detailed on the ones I've had for years and post some builds less detailed cause I probably sold it once I finished building. Start...

My brother is starting to build a build a delivery pontoon boat to deliver bottled or canned drinks to his charter customers that are out on the lake. He has tasked me with setting up the control system. What am I looking for in batteries near water to keep them from exploding?

The new Traxxas sand rail coming out next month looks badass. It has real working disc brakes. Traxxas Pro Scale Sand Car | King of the Dunes

I have a quad charger for the little 2s scx24 batteries and just ordered a dual charger that should charge anything else. Both have the xt60 as an option for DC input. I bought an xt60 to alligator clip and xt60 to cig lighter just because. But was thinking it would be cool to also charge of...

Hey guys, I want to turn my Ridgecrest into a Wroncho. Looking the best SCX10 frame rails out there now with the best geometry. Anyone still go on RCcrawaler? Seems pretty dead over there.

Anyone run one? Wondering how it is for the money. Is it trying to pack too many scale details in for the money and sacrificing durability or performance? Considering picking up a RTR to play with again.

Going to start this one at the beginning, which is last June, when we bought the kiddo a TRX4M bronco for his 7th birthday Almost immediately stripped the steering servo :shaking: Traxxas shipped me one for free but i ended up swapping it out for an aftermarket one later on. He thought it...

Check this thing out: A little big for my FMS FCX24 "Smasher" (1:24) but might pick it up and mess around with it and then pick up a TRX4.

Started digging out the old r/c cars since the boy is getting interested. Got one i bought 10-15 years ago now, dont remember, as a project i never touched. Thinking its either time to finish it or get rid of it. So this is an old Losi. Comp crawler i think? Its been modified with a MOA...

I have a 1/4" shank bit laminate trimming bit for my router that has a teeny ball bearing on the end and I've burned it up. Looks like something from a RC car, dimensions are as follows... OD .250" 6.35mm ID .125" 3.15mm Thickness .107" 2.75mm Measured with...

I had been competing in the NMRCC 1.9 and 2.2 Trail Classes with my AX10 build for a while and after slowly upgrading my AX10 piece by piece (not much AX10 left at this point) I had started thinking about building a second rig with the spare parts so I could have a dedicated 1.9 and 2.2 rigs to...

RC4WD Trail Finder 2 RTR w/1982 Toyota Pickup Hard Body Set

Most of the brand specific sections have these threads, so why not rc? Most stuff is easier sent in an envelope anyway. It's often stuff that's not really worth making a full classified ad, more just helping each other out. I think I'm going to go to a longer arm (would be interested in 24mm+...

I hadn't posted anything since if was just basically a stock capra with a few add ones like everyone else, but I've added some more stuff, so why not. :homer: It originally was a dig capra. Added brass portal covers and 10% lower rear r&p, krawlers on some aluminum bead locks. Broke a rear...

Holy shit is it awesome so far. All these years I liked the idea of a cheap motor since they get so much abuse in a crawler. I burnt up a cheap 5 pole brushed motor and decided to finally give one of the 5 pole Holmes Hobbies motors a try. Got a crawl master 12t 550 (which is a $110 motor...

Just picked one up. Prior owner did a Vanquish transmission mod (moved it lower) and some od gears. I am not sure how deep I will tear into this one. I replaced the neo-chrome wheels and tires though.

Anyone have any good rc crawl, basher of flight spots? I'm up in auburn and the confluence is a great place to go right now. I have heard a bunch of people go to Lake folsom but not sure where when the water is high. Heading down to Salinas/Santa Cruz this weekend, anyone have any spots?
