any car guys?

[hydro guy]

are there any car racers here? i have a *race* traxxas rustler, a tamiya TAO3F special, and a vintage 1/12 scale COX nitro pan car.

[Brian Vega]

Hey Jake! I race cars also, I run a XXX Losi Truck, A TC3 Touring car. I race these when I am not racing boats. Just to keep me busy! BV

[Doug Forrester]

Hi Jake
Although I'm not currently racing cars, I raced a Associated 10L, Nascar carpet oval for several years.

[Dan Chase]

Yup, I have a few, cars are what I started RC with some 20+ years ago. I have a Nitro 1/10 Serpent Road car, :eek: HPI 1/10 Nitro touring car, nitro Associated RC10 truck, Schmacher electric touring car, a Losi buggy and an electric Ofna rally car. I also have a few vintage RC cars. Besides the cars, I have 2 Skat s400 Pylon planes, a Hitec Sky Scooter and a light stick. I also have a light weight Battlebot under construction and some 30+ boats all sharing a single car garage with 3 racing Karts and 2 MX bikes! Jeez. no wonder I can hardly get in my garage!!!:rolleyes:

[Tony T]

Well, I don't have a RC car.. I've been slowly modifying my 89 Camaro... :D

[NEED4SPEED]

I have a Nitro 4 tech thats uncontrollably fast so Im thinking about dropping the .15 in my miss bud...woohooo

[hydro guy]

cool!
well i love cars, but its all about boats for me. cars are good when i dont have a ride to the lake, or when i am waiting for a part. Dan C, looks like you've got alot of pricy cars! i bet that serpent is quite the ride!
I race my ruslter at the local track, its really competitive, since i bought my WR chassis :-), lightend parts, and upgraded shocks.

[Avenger]

hey NEED4SPEED i hope that the engine in your car is not the pro.15, that is just about the worst engine ever!(i think) i have a t-maxx, that was the first thing that i changed in that car!i have 2 more cars too a nitro rustler w/ a trinity picco.15 and a e-rustler! i also have a plane and 3 boats!

[Pooley929]

[Tit Bonac]

I have a TA03F and a FF01. Boath of them are REALY modifide (Alu+Fiberglas+Carbon). But I'm seling them both and buying a TC4 Internacional Pro 2. Until now I primarily raced cars, but now boats are my primary models (can't wait to get my new 12 cell Mono . :D )

[Tit Bonac]

Here is my TC4 Champ.

[kyle.c]

[Billh]

[Dan Chase]

Hi Kyle,

I have a '89 Yamaha YZ 250 and my 7 year old has a '90 Suzuki 50, he will probably start racing this year when we get him a Polini 50.

Here is a pic of one of my old rides when I raced cars for the Reynard factory.

[Sorcerer 001]

I've been racing r/c cars for around 20 years, but it's just in the last few years that I've gone through a ton of different vehicles.
My current vehicles are a XXX Kinwald Edition, T-Maxx, Ofna Hyper 7 Pro, Kyosho Mini-Z, and a new Thunder Tiger motorcycle.
I just sold my 1/5th scale FG Opel Astra to one of my racing buddies, and sold my XXX-T to a neighbor kid to help get him in to the hobby. I've got a bunch of old Tamiya kits that I hope will be worth something someday.
I can't even remember how many cars I've gone through in the last two or three years. I like to try different things, but tend to always end up back with the old standby(Losi and Associated).

Here's a shot of my FG(the orange one) being chased down by my friend Tim's FG Honda:

Dan,

You might want to point out that that's a REAL car and Michael Andretti just about killed you.

OK, so I'm stretching a little...

Andy

I have an extensively modified RS4 MT and a stock (ish) Traxxas Rustler.

[Avenger]

Hey Avenger,

posi rearend w/ 4.11 gears and im rebuilding the engine right now so come summer time i will be pushing 500hp and im thinking about NOS but i dont know!

With 500 ponies your going to need some traction in the rear. Your wallet's gonna cry when your buying the rear skins for it. lol ;-)

What do you think of this one, it can drag the rear bumper for over 100 feet! Nothing like doing sky wheelies in a car, definitely gets the heart going. (this is a 9 second car built by me)

Paul.

[Avenger]

WOW 9 seconds, how much hp u gona have??? i really want a 9 sec. car, my dad has a low 10, i fugure that my cougar is gona run in the low 12s, i am thinking of putting 3.73 gears so i can go down the road at 60mph and not be revin' at 4000 the whole way! i could do a mini tub job on it that would take care of the traction, this year i will be winning the burnout contest at the end of school! but it is a stick and i think that i might put on a line lock!
