anyone here race RC cars?

just wondering.

Yes.. but not on a professional level.. Just a "Hey, wanna race?" type of thing..

i order my kit, it should be in wednesday. i figured it would be alot cheaper to soup up a RC car than do it to mine. besides it'll be a great time killer/hobbie.

ya...used to race a lot...for about 6 years...but kinda stopped now...on-road electric touring

...spending way too much $$$...stopped counting after hitting 5-digit numbers

first car was TA-02F -> RS4 Pro -> C4 Euro -> RS4 Pro3

still have the TA-02 & the Pro3...wouldn't mind getting one of the Schumacher ones next (i think it's a mission or something)

damn batteries r getting excessive these days...$200 for 3000mah faaaaaaaarrk...and they only last a good 6 months of racing before the voltage starts to fade

heh...in the meantime...picked up a mini-z to race

*far* cheaper to run!

btw...what did u get DCaff??

I used to when i was just a kiddy. I use to run petrol powered one, O.S max, 2 speed automatic gear box, sports exhaust, the lot. That little barstard sounded like a formula 1 car when it got going

my buddy just got one those things can go mad fast

i think theyre cool and everything its just that they seem like way too much $$$ to be spending on something like that
