Default Anyone into R/C cars?

I am. I have an HPI Rush Evo 18SS.



This is after I drove my car with the body that is above





And the backyard track that my brother and I made over the summer

Used to be heavily! Raced when I was younger and got into fabricating my own stuff a few years back.



I was into wheeling and the r/c stuff went along with it. Built my own chassis with a juggernaut tranny, airplane gear reduction, x-factor axles, beadlocks, and the list goes on.

ok see this is somthing i have wanted to do for alonge just have no clue what to use or where to find the parts and how to's to do it
I want to build a Big truck one that when done would be about 5 foot long with trailer . and also be remote controlled and have the workign lights etc.... I do models for a hobbyshame they are all packed ina box around here some where.
or i would shoot a shot of a few of them.

i have done the lighting to working radios and all kinds of other crap. I at one time had tried to figure out how to make a small compressor to make them beabel to drop to the ground and raise back up all on air power. Never happend .
Could not get it small enough to fit in the model i was useing .

So if ya have plans or information please post it. I would love to do this. I have to figure something out the monte is almost to where i want it and if i dont stop i will be devoriced so ethier way i will have pleanty of time LOL

I have a traxxas REVO with a RB TM323. I have been in the hobbie for about 3 years now. Starts getting expensive after a while but it is great fun. Here are some pics with a couple different bodies.

thats werks for me. It took me a couple flips to see everything that was done. The only reason I havn't edited that photo yet was it shows the sign and I know how high that truck fly's. In that pic it was still going up and topped off about a foot taller than the sign. Big air is so much fun with these things. Here is a vid of us messin around a little out in front of the house. I was doing these without hammering on it to the ramp. just imagine fullthrottle all the way.

Yeah they are an awsome truck if ya like being able to totally tune your suspension. I just ordered the new 3.3 and can't wait to wear out that motor so I can see what a big block will do in the extended chassis.
