My Other Hobby: R/C Cars

[Festiva_Fred]

Here is one of my other hobbies, R/C cars.. This is my 1/10th scale stadium truck, it's a HPI Racing E-Firestorm 10T. It can go about 25-30 mph right now with the motor it's got in it. Is anyone else on here into R/C cars?

Sweet, I used to have a Mini-T with a 6800kv mamba, that thing would fly! I also had a Traxxas Nitro Stampede and Nitro Sport but sold them. I've probably had around 10-15 of them all together.

nitro is the only way to go, after having a nitro r/c truck, i found the electric ones to be pretty lame.

nice car tho!

Thanks, the electrics can be faster and more fun then nitro's now, thanks to Brushless motors and better batteries. I do miss the nitro's sometimes but I don't miss the maintinence of them..

i`ll have to test one of the newer electric models, the upkeep on the nitro cars could be a pain sometimes. also, the pull start cord snapping back out of your fingers never feels good lol.

haha yeah lol, If you get an electric one like the one I have, then put a Brushless motor in it and Lipo battery or a high Mah NIMH 6 or 7 cell battery in it, it'll be just as fun as a nitro, And very low maintenence.
