The AFF R/C Topic

[Spudz27]

So guys thought it might be an idea to start an R/C topic. Many of us on the forums probably play with or tinker with R/C cars, boats, planes, helicopters etc. So feel free to list what you have and any video's or pictures you have of your toys. This thread is for anything R/C, not just cars. I will begin I guess.

Over the years I have had many R/C devices. It all began with an old tamiya Datsun my dad had, 20yrs ago. Since then I have owned in no particular order.

Cessna
Helicopter
Air Boat
Sail Boat
Traxxas Stampede
Tamiya XB WRX x 2
Tamiya Gas powered WRX
GV Gas powered XR6 ute

I have sold every single one and am regretting it dearly. I go through stages where I love all my R/C stuuf and then can't be bothered and during those times I have sold them thinking I won't get into it again. How wrong am I, so my fiance has instructions to hide it away if I ever look like I am getting into a can't be bothered mood lol. It also is annoying as I know nobody else with them and have no idea where a good track location or anything is.

Now I have just purchased the Traxxas Slash. It is great right out of the box, mine is the 2WD 2.4ghz version and already I am looking at importing the XL-3 sc and 3500 Brushless motor. My Stampede I was running stock 12t motor and XL-5sc, but I had 2 x 5000mah 8cell hump packs and so obviously my slash is not as quick, so it is a little frustrating lol. Also trying to get a venom charger and 5400mah Lipo. I have found that in just a few quick seconds the body rub is annoying me, so I have used duct tape, trimmed the body and trying spacers. I am not overly confident modding things so I have not tried adjusting the height of the body mounts.

Here is a quick video of before, sorry about quality. My driveway is made up of bitumen with heaps of loose gravely crap. I didn't get my skate ramp out because I am not sure how the rustler would handle it as opposed to my old stampede which loved it lol.
