Got back in to RC cars

Getting a couple toys together to play with out there. Not sure if we are going to start racing or not. Just going to play out there for now. We have the 4wd scte, nitro rc10gt, and I got some track tires and sway bars for my sledge.

The Dirt might not be to kind to the RC10GT. I am sure they will make some track changes to tame it down a little for when they resume their club races.

They use to have a cool 1/10th scale track, but it has been changed over to a dirt oval.

Hotrods would be a good choice, if it is about the same drive for you. It is a good 1/10th scale track and you can run 1/8th scale. It is nice having the hobby shop right there.

No gas truck at SDRC though. I haven't been in years but it was a nice setup previously. I still follow them on FB and know they need some support though.
 
I just got into the hobby, and started with 2 Hosim hobby grade brushless RCs for my 5 and 7 year old kids. Then I "needed" a car to play with them and ended up with a Maxx V1 and a Maxx V2 for me somehow :unsure: lol. They are fun and it's great times with the kids and they will soon be using the the Maxx V1 once they get more seat time with the Hosim cars.
 
Picked up a couple goodies for it. Striking out on a 75mhz module for the Mars at the moment.

I have a Kyosho nitro 2wd project truck for free if anyone wants it. These are super cool but I just rebuilt my rc10gt and my scte. I don't want another project. Needs a radio and receiver. There are a couple engines in parts but might be able to get one running. Definitely a project.

Gone. Nice meeting you @Turbofamilyof4

My neighbors son would love this! Where are you located?
 
I have been getting the small scale Cars / 2 RC18 Drift Cars Got them running and got the lipos bak bumped and recharging well / These things FLY !!!!!

Also got the Losi Mini 8Ight running and saved 2 of the Venom Lipos back to life - I got the Mini 8ight axel dog bone repaired and it is a BLAST to Drive

I have about 5 more batteries to jump back to life and get charged back up!!!!

Having these babies running again has been a BLAST !!!

Took my son to the Dirt today. He did pretty darn good for being 7 and driving along side some really good adults. I did not do so great. I'm going to try and get him in to some kids races soon. Gotta get him a new body and some wheels and tires
 
These RC cars are FUN FUN FUN !!!!!

Looking for the following specific cars if someone has any they wanna sell

LOSI DB- Pro 1/10th scale Buggy

LOSI DB- Mini 8Ight 1/14 Scale Buggy

LOSI Lasernut 1/10th Scale Buggy
 
I have a few rc cars that I need to get running again. Db tenacity and a traxxas slash. I think you guys just lit the fuse for me too. My 3 and 5 year olds are at the perfect age for them

They removed some of the jumps from the SX race to make the track more drivable.

We will be at the Dirt for the Dirt Nitro Challenge race first week of March. Probably be 700 entries. Should be a fun race with all the top pros in the U.S. and many of the top pros from Europe coming to race.
