Anybody into nitro r/c's??

[SSsierra90]

Yep. Mike actually let me run it on the outside track a few weeks ago.... that was a riot!

[SSsierra90]

Those lights on the front look badass lol. how do you run lights on these rc's? Is it some type of kit?

[Texasmustang]

You connect them to a servo.

I actually use a killer rc light controller. With this i get headlights high/low beam and off actuated with third channel on the transmitter. Also get brake lights running lights and blinkers on the back. Blinkers blink when the wheel is turned left or right. Also the headlights flash when the receiver battery gets low.

My project for the day. Fast lane machine savage transmission forward brushless conversion.



And a couple random pictures of my ongoing slash project. Need to finish my new body sometime soon.

god bless.

I am dafinately up for this. Want to check out the new track layout. I haven't got to get on it yet do to the bigfoot race this weekend.

So I ran mine this weekend and it didnt break! lol. My brother in laws did though. We didnt crash into each other, but we did cross paths and instead of going to move my truck I just drove over his and when I did that he tried to move to but ended up stripping out his main gear lol. I guess I weighed too much.

I used to have a HPI RS4 nitro car, but I havent seen it since I moved I had some bad ass bodies for it too, lightning, and a pretty sick camaro SS body.

I've got an old Traxxas Nitro Sport that I bought off another board member. It was pretty fun to screw with for a few weeks, but then I lost interest as it kept breaking. On about my 5th trip to the nearest hobby shop (15 miles away), I said fuck it and bought a cheap electric truck. That ran more reliably for a while, but now it's broke too and they're both just sitting on my work bench. I'll get to them one day, maybe.

They're a shit ton of fun when they're running good though!

Sounds like you need a good quality 1/8 scale electric brushless buggy or truggy. They are pretty much indestructible as long as you don't hit a pole at full speed or a parked car at full speed.
