So, What R/C Did You Run Today?

[Xraycer]

While playing with the Gate Keeper today, I brought out the Redcat Scout II ascent 18 and the Hobbyplus CR18p. The CR18 is a beast it took all the same lines as the 1/10 Gatekeeper. The scout needs a bit of weight and a few upgrades to make it a bit more capable but stiil pretty fun.

And, who the h€ll is minding RCT while you're out goofing around, mister?!
Back to work!

That CR is like my favorite of your mini's. I love that thing.

Most capable mini crawler I've got. Puts all of the others to shame. Even makes my Furitek look bad.

I ran my X-Maxx for the 2nd time since putting it's new Firma 160a ESC and the new Spektrum receiver i got for it this month. And she's a beast jumping off my ramp that my Dad built for me in 2023. Got over 30+ Minutes of run time before i stopped and the batteries were only around 15.2V per battery so i could have run for another 10+ Minutes. Temps on this 80 F Day were 94 - 108 both Motor and ESC running 16p\54s.

Ran my XO-1 this morning for the first time since the diff overhaul with new Revo diffs filled with 500k fluid front and rear. She was a pleasure to drive and once heat got into the tires she would launch dead straight and drift like my Felony does stock.

Here she is after the run.

Hi everyone, Ran my Slash 4x4 Ultimate this afternoon in both my front and back yards it was awesome also got to do a speedrun with her current setup she went 45Mph on a 3s lipo running 14p\52s.

Here's some pics.

How's it going everyone? This afternoon i got to run my Arrma Vendetta for the 2nd time since it's repair and adjustments. And it's awesome runs amazing with the Spektrum gear with AVC drifts just like my XO-1 (With 500k F\R fluids) and my Felony (Bone stock). Also it went 53Mph on the GPS with stock gearing and running on 3s lipo power.

I got to run my Felony for it's real run this year. Although at first i had rebind and recalibrate the ESC to my radio the DX6C i had fun at it was all fixed but i ended ripping a screw right through the splitter mount and the splitter also this morning the winds were kind of hard on me. So i stopped running but i had fun nonetheless.

Here's a pic.

I also did a quick speed run before i did some street bashing. And got this. On 6s with 16p\46s running my Max 6 G1\4985SL 1,650kv combo.

If it made you smile it was worrth every second!

 

[CJSRCLIFE]

If it made you smile it was worth every second!

It sure did although she's a little slow at 50Mph but has so much torque and punch currently. I'm happy but someday i want to put back n the Castle MMX8s\1717 combo and gear her up.

I ran both of my trucks out in the front yard, just trying to learn how to control them so lowest power on both controllers was used.

Soon it will be second nature.

 

[Alwaysonauto]

That's what I'm hoping. At least nothing came loose or broke this time out so that's encouraging.

Ran the rustler with the anacondas and they are slick

Ran the slash to test out the new esc. Stays cool, motor stays cool. Really fun to drive. And its sticking on with the old tape so. Yay.

I got 3 batteries between the slash/pro 4 and 2 batteries for the rusty between to use now and tomorrow.

Did you attach any bubblewrap to the front just in case?

Ran my XO-1 again after my lunch today she ran awesome like she always does after since her last overhaul.

Here's some pics.

She's solid now with everything i've done and my DX6C radio also solid had it for over 6 months now.

Ran the reflex, pro 4 and slash today. In the alley with the ramp. Normal average bashing. Had them charged up for yesterday as I went down to the beach but didn't use them.

And yea the gears aren't gearing anymore... Prob bc the motor mount shifted as it's a not so great motor mount design. The mount doesn't lock in place with screws it sits in place, like it has ridges on the mount to sit on the other piece and it's like all weird.

Terrible. It makes me sad, the knockoffs copy that design because the big names do it.

Been playin' with the mini crawlers the most lately, but had to go polar opposite!
Bought this Redcat Shredder during covid boredom.
Kickstarted a hobby I put down 40 years ago!

Got to meet up with a buddy for a bash session yesterday. He brought this big gas powered beast. After smelling the 2 stroke burning for a couple hours, I'm starting to think I need one of those. Good times.
