Who else here has a hobbie in RC cars? real RC cars..not ones from like asda/argos or whatever,lol.
what car do you have and what style of racing do you do?
Anyone drift RC cars?
do you have an electric or nitro car?
I have a tamiya TT01 which i plan on upgraing sonnish to a new motor(trinty monster stock 27t..maybe a 19t motor),new alloy parts including drive shaft and gonna buy some tire rings to start some drifting or may buy the yokomo(spell) drift car and get some neon lights and stuff.

Yes my dad used to race a nitro dirt racer. It was awesome it went around 80mph but everything was soooooo expensive. I have an electric one that I used to race and hit the racing jumps with. That was funnnn. RC cars are pretty popular here theirs a awesome shop here called "Tower Hobbies" They sell the top of the line cars/ planes/ boats which are fun to mess around with. RC's are a great Hobby.

When I was a youngin I had a series of RC 10's, but it is a money pit hobby, things break so often and are so expensive to replace. It is really fun though. Tower Hobbies rules!

I recently bought a used RC-10 Buggy on eBay. I dont know whole lot about working on it yet so maybe somebody could help me on this.
Its in fair condition but a couple axle parts are a little bent and rusted. Other than that it still rolls fine. I know it has a upgraded racing motor and i just bought a digital charger. All i think i need now are new batteries for the contoler and battery packs for the car. Im not gonna get into racing or anything....i just want to jump it off cliffs :lol: and take it to the resorts when i go snowboarding. Anyway, heres what i got:

(i plan on getting new tires too)

i have a nitro rustler. I love rippin it through the dirt, going off jumps and breaking it. then getting mad, throwing it in a corner somewhere. BMXing, then comming back to it a month later and fixing it, then ripping it again. Its a chain lol
