So, What R/C Did You Run Today?

[CJSRCLIFE]

Same here friend! You have alot of cool RCs & gathered some great components!

I hope to start working on my Outcast next week or so that's when my parts should come in. I'll also post an album and update my build showcase about that truck once it's back up and running.

It was a beautiful day today. 75° down in the Central Valley.
View of where we fly, you can just see the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range past the foothills. Still some snow up there.

Was a great day nice breeze, lots of good flights with the UMX Turbo Timber. The last flight I was pushing it a bit because the wind had picked up and we had some unpredictable gusts. The Turbo Timber is pretty lightweight so coming around for final approach I got pushed towards a telephone pole. While taking evasive action, and trying to miss the telephone pole I failed to notice the telephone wires. DOH!

Hit the wires and dropped into the orchard behind us. Whap! Whistle, Crunch!
A little damage the the front end, it repairable if I can get off my lazy butt.

Been a while since I crunched one, I was over due to make a sacrifice to the gods of flight.
The good news is still had my Granite Grom with me, so the fun wasn't over.

Today i finally got out to run my Arrma Outcast 8s EXB V1 Roller since the new ESC and radio system install. Ran for over 20 minutes no heat or any issues other than the tires coming unglued but it's now fixed hopefully.

Nice plane you have there, I can also see that iX14 you have i've seen those and if i were to get into aircrafts that is the radio i would want either iX14+ or the iX14+SE. For me i'm currently a surface kind of guy and i plan to get the newer version of the iXSR in the future when it comes out in August.

Yeah I was running a RadioMaster TX16S for my planes and realized I’m just a spektrum guy…the IX14 is sick

I heard okay things about Radiomaster radios but i have admit i like what Spektrum has these days. I used to use a Futaba 4PM for a long time it was okay but lacked what i wanted and for awhile i had a Radiolink RC8X which was practically the worst radio i ever owned in my life. Last year when Spektrum first released the iXSR it made me fall in love and sell my RC8X. Then i got a DX6C and it's been my main radio since and i love it hope the new model iXSR when i get it will be just as good if not the best radio i've ever owned and they seem fairly solid so far.

Love all of those planes, It makes me wish i had an area and skill to run planes and other aircrafts.

I am lucky to have a very nice airfield/club just up the road from my house.

Had a fun day i got run my Outcast 8s EXB v1 today also did a speedrun and this truck went 47mph on my street.

That's right 47Mph on close to v2 RTR electronics and also being a 25lb 8s beast. Currently my fastest off road truck\vehicle.

I remember this truck the Losi LMT. They recently came out with a new version with a special feature that allows to do monster truck tricks on the new radio. I don't think i'll get one since it's not really my kind of truck but there still cool. I wish they would make a new kit version since if i did get one i would put a custom body on it and custom parts.
