Thinking abt getting the nismo 350Z R/C car (www.towerhobbies.com) but don't know anyone who has an R/C car or would be interested in getting one so i'd have someone to race, etc. anyone here into R/C cars?

 

there are places to race with people here in the bay area. i just got rid of my nitro car, too much like working on a real car. a lot of fun, but i don't have the time available to do it. some of the cars out there are very fast!! If you have the time, go for it...

 

i was into it a while ago... i don't have the time now.. also its the rainy season... so you can't really bring it out much. I used to run at the roof of Colma Bart garage on sunday afternoons. there's a bunch of ppl that go there every week (weather permitting) I bought the Proline 350z body too... but i messed up cutting the wheel wells.. also, this hobby is freagin expsenive too.. so i haven't had time to fix it up

anyways... here's the hop up parts i got

HPI RS4 3 RTR
dropped a CVR .12 (1bhp) engine
2 speed tranny
fiber disc brakes
HPI headers
CVEC Exhaust pipe
bigger air filter

MX-5 FM radio

 

That picture looks sick Jeff.. Damn i wanna get into it, but my wallet is sayin HELL NO... haha

Maybe sometime next year... (when wallet gets to breathe)

 

Playing is fun, but the cleaning and maintenance takes time, and it can get very expensive....

I have an HPI RS4 RTR
Upgraded the exhaust, light weight fly wheel, some aluminum parts.....

Hum.....may be I should clean it and take it out for a run.....

 

i just got the LeMAns ZipZap....was keeping me busy for a while! Maybe the next meet we can have a R/C race!

 

used to be into it a long time ago....
been eyeing the HPi with the 350z for a while now.... just can't get myself to spend the dough....

 

save some money to repair the real car after track days!!

 

I'm still in it. I have an HPI rs4 and a traxxas truck. I have not maintained it in a while now. I am sure I will have a hard time starting them. Too cold to play outside now.

 

I have a traxxas 2.5 t-maxx monster truck. This things got 4wd and 2 speed forward and reverse tranny. I got upgrades like integy piggyback shocks, full anodized skid plates, rpm a arms, full roolcage, aluminum front and rear bumpers, etc (too many to mention all). I have over $600 in upgrades on this truck. Oh yea and its for sale CHEAP! PM me offers

 

Damn... i jus saw a segment on R/C racing on Bay Area Backroads and it looked really cool... they race somewhere in San Jose... forgot the name of the place, but there was alot of hobbiest there...

 

I used to be into it....have an rs4 all hopped-up, and a savage with a motor swapped to a picco outlaw .26 pulling over 2.5 hp....the thing is so powerful its undriveable at times.....

 

I haven't touched my t-maxx in a long time. It is a lot of fun, but the money starts to catch up to you.
