Last night my son and I went to some SC races and I was talking to a guy with a Rally car. I asked him where he drives it and he said 'mainly just on the street', which really confused me...but hey.
I've always been somewhat interested that rally game, but not so much from the electric stand-point. It seems like disciplined bashing. Does anyone have these competitions in your area or have tried it? My son like to make up our own little rally courses when we get bored...but kind of hard with a buggy/truggy (the Savage might be fun though). I think rally cars would be fun to build and learn about the characteristics in what makes them succeed. i.e. I'd want to run it on the street, AN D [insert anything here].
This morning I started looking more about rally cars, I came across two pretty cool vids.
I like what this guy is doing...just designing his own little courses. Pretty cool.
However, I've always heard they are not very fast. So I started looking around to see what I could learn about nitro and rally cars/engines. Of course I see this (sorry Neal!). But that is too funny!
Take that engine and put it in the car from the first video and that is sick fun! Or...take that engine and put it anything and it would wicked nasty fun.
I love bashing...but it gets old just driving 'wherever', so this seems like something I'd like to get in to. I know it's been around for a while but would like to learn more from those who have rally cars. Plus no matter what I'm doing in RC...I like to go fast, so will probably suck at it, but I'll suck at it while having fun...I know that. ;-)
Neal---if you post a video of that torque mod for it, it would be funny to put it in an MT. It's always fun to watch a lil ol' .21 engine throw a big bad, monster truck around 'like a rag doll'.:thumbup:
