r/c

Haven't done RC things in friggen forever. Prob 15 years or so. Going to the "Harvesters in the Holler" IH get together in TN in a few weeks and they are doing an RC crawl comp. So I needed a RC rig. Just entry level shit but hey. It looks cool. I want to paint the wheels alum to match...

I want to get front overdrive, and I am curious if there is a good option I am missing for my build. I want to keep the low gear sets in both axles to minimize torque twist and stress on the drivetrain, so I want to get overdrive from the transmission. Currently, I am at ˜20:1 with the Axial 3...

I wanted to check before I posted some stuff.

I had the SCX24...meh. I gave it to my middle son last year. Since then, my oldest bought an SCX and bought my youngest an AX24 today. Screw it, better keep up with the Jones' I guess. :laughing:

How about a random pic and vid thread? Didn’t see one posted yet. I know I’m just getting into this, but I have a few good ones. I’m sure there will be more to come.

Anybody else build a scaler replica of their real rig? I figured i might as well have 1 to drive while the other is down. I've been having a lot of fun with this thing since I got it. It's tough not to spend wheeler money on a couple more. I'm waiting on parts for both trucks right now but the...
