I used to be into them, money issues forced me to sell mine. I had a lightly modified Team Associated T-3 electric truck, a rock-crawler HPI RS4 MT, and a pair of nitro Lightning R/R buggies.

I raced back in the day also.... I raced an original rc-10 truck...was cool too had the lightened aluminum tub chasis stealth tranny and all was pretty trick but heavy. I then raced a Team Associated T-3, B-3, and GT. It was alot of fun when I did it, but then life happened, got married and had a kid, so all that had to go away. Hopefully someday I can get back into it. I know my son is crazy about rc cars, so i see that being another hobby in the near future.

There was a pretty good thread on rc's a while back on here...
I started out with a Traxxas Sledgehammer (still have it), bought a junk rc10L and rc10 from a friend (restored the rc10 and sold it), bought a nitro rs4 conversion (still have it in a box somewhere), a Traxxas Rustler (sold it), a B3 (oval kit, sold it), a Duratrax Evader BX (still have it), and recently a Losi XXX-4.
The XXX-4 has a speedgems 13T that I built and a Duratrax Streak ESC with 3300 NIMH match packs. It runs very hot, but also VERY fast! Gotta love the RC's!

I've been racing for 10 years now. I race an RC10 bee four(had to type it that way so the word editor wouldn't screw it up) in 2wd buggy mod class and stock class. I occasionally race my Mini-T on indoor offroad also. The Mini-T is by far the hardest rc vehicle I have ever raced.

I had a Grasshopper and Super Champ back in the day. Lots of fun but very expensive back then. I remember the basic kits being a couple hundred bucks.

Heres my Blade CX2 heli(coaxial). When I get the dough, I plan to get a Walkera 60 or T-Rexx 350XL. The Cobra and Lightning are Tamiya 7.2v AWD tl01 chassis and are pretty quick for a 7.2v. I painted the polycarbonate bodies and think they came out nice! :cool:

check for vacume leaks, ie. loose screws on the motor. i would almost bet that you have a leak some where.

Our maxx had a bit of a disagreement with a brick the other day. It sort of has it's shocks wrapped around the a-arm.

Ours was leaning out and fouling plugs quickly - just got the 3.3 instead of messing with it. The 3.3 is nice.

Ive got a 3.3 tmaxx. Seems like i cant keep it together anymore though :wondering Started grenading rear drivelines(definetely wasnt doing backflips off of the gravel piles at work), Then put it into the curb in front of my house and ripped the left front wheel/suspension off, Snapped another driveline in the splines so i converted to the Traxxas metal centers. Next time i took it out the recoil spring on the pull starter broke, I just got that fixed and put back together and ran it for like 20 minutes before the trans locked up!

I dont know if i had my slipper clutch too tight or what but the first gear on the same shaft as the slipper next to the trans case seems to have melted and stuck to the case itself. :rolleyes:

Oh yeah i stripped out two spur gears so you can add that to the list. Running the metal ones now.
