[bugleboy]

I have been watching a couple friends from the sidelines for a while and i am excited to say im getting my frist RC scale rock crawler on friday and i was just wondering if i could talk RC with any of you.

chase the neighborhood critters with th RC rig. I was watching some one operate one of those airplanes, that looks pretty cool to me.

i built one of those big rc planes one summer. spent all summer building it and then on the first flight, i had the controls set 180 out so when i pushed what i thought was up, it nose dived and blew up on the concrete. that was the last rc plane i ever messed with

These are my R/C hobbies. The helicopter is a 600 class (4 1/2 ft). I also have a 450 class and currently building a quad copter ( That X looking thing hanging on the shelf). The 600 is powered by a 6S 22.2volt lipo and the quad will have a 3S 11.1volt lipo.

thats a bit more sereous than my little air hogs heli i had lol it was about 5 maybe 6 inches long perfect to fly inside lol but that sucker went down if it was by an air vent when the ac kicked on

those quad copters are sick man i saw a guy using one at jaycee park one day

[bugleboy]

I saw this thread and had to go dig out my Losi Mini-LST2. We moved in Dec and I hadn't unboxed it yet.

Maybe I should look into something slower like a rock crawler so i don't keep breaking wheels. :redface:

 

[bugleboy]

lol ive had mine for a few days and i love it, it amazes me how well this little truck crawls allover the place, also sence its a 1/24 scale its small enough to crawl around in your house, i have just as muck fun setting up crawling courses from books, shoes, tools, etc, as i do running the course after i make it lol its well worth the money

Oh no ****! That looks like a fun little truck. I have a losi mini-t and mini high roller but they cant climb up nearly as steep of a incline.
