snow drifting the RC car

What kind of car is that? Been wanting to get my sons new truck out but don't think it would do very well being 2wd. Maybe with a set of paddle tires it would.

turnigy nitro rumble.

it's cheap straight from china 1/8th scale 4wd nitro powered.

If you want electric, buy the basher truggy. Getting good reviews, pretty much the electric version of this.

We clocked it at 40 mph box stock.

my experience with it

I've been on that hobby king suite quite s bit here lately looking at parts for one of my other trucks. May have to look into their trucks.

 

[87manche]

it's really an Acme warrior.

parts availability ssucks because they only stock spares in the international warehouse.
If they don't lose your box it takes two weeks.
I ordered a bunch of stuff all at once, otherwise the shipping makes it expensive.
Parts are cheap, shipping is pricey. I'm looking for someplace I can order parts from in the US.

that place has them, but I've not dealt with them.

If you want electric 1/8th scale
https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=66326

if you wait on hobbykings webpage they'll knock 10% off to entice you to order. People are liking that one. It's all 1/8th scale, if you go 1/10th they get way cheaper.

Yea I haven't really checked out their shipping prices yet. I've also noticed them dropping prices on stuff. Buddy of mine just ordered stuff from hobby king so will see how fast they get it to him.

So far I've got a whole list of stuff to get that way I can have all 6 rc trucks going at the same time. May get into some racing as well at the hobby store in town.

you have to pay attention to what warehouse you're ordering from.

East is AR, West is CA, international is China.

I pulled out of the garage and did a doughnut on purpose in the driveway with the 5.9 going to run errands. Madeline says "weeeeee" while we are doing it.

Part of me wants at least one good snow here this year so I can have some fun in it. But part of me wants it to hold out longer to give me more time to get my pile road worthy again.

 

[87manche]

I'm back in a 4wd beater.
So it can snow now.

We picked this bike up Friday night for Case. It is almost too much. It is an L.E.M. which is an Itilian made race bike. It has a Pro Circuit pipe and reeds etc. It SCREAMS!! I am thinking that we may invest in a Honda CRF 70 or a more trail friendly bike for him to get a little more warmed up too. He has a new Polaris 90 Sportsman quad he bought last summer with his calf money, and now this...he likes his toys like I do!

Cheese "someone at WF would get hurt on this" Man

There are a couple 70's here in the classifieds for cheap. I can look if you want. I live in an area with people who buy things with deployment money and then don't use them.

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

That would be great man. I kind of impulse bought this bike and was afraid it would be a bit too much. He rode it yesterday and got along fine, but he is honestly going to out grow it in the next few months and I do not want to spend a ton of money getting the suspension custom built/tuned for no more time than he will be on it. I cut my teeth on a Honda 50z and moved up from there. He started at age 3 on a Yamaha PM50 but got into quads after that, so the transfer back to bikes is a little different and with it being frigid out it is a bit less fun to ride a bike in the snow vs. a quad.

Cheese "thanks" Man
