I've got an HPI RS4 M/T that's decked out but non-functional ATM. The front axles don't like to stay in the diff... Haven't taken the time to work on it in a while. Guess I'll post some pics later on :D

I used to be sponsorred by Traxxas and helped develop their on-road nitro car while driving their 4-tec electric with full carbon fiber. prior to the sponsorship I ran a Losi on-road and had a few off-road cars for fun. I placed 1st in the B-main in a 5-state regional (only 5 cars per main, so essentially 6th place but would have placed 3rd with my time in the a-main) back in the day.

Now I've just got 2 1/12 scale Team associated off-road trucks at my parents lakehouse for fun, but have contemplated getting back into racing the on-road 4wd. would love a decked out TC4, but it's just too expensive to get back into from scratch.

Stop bragging Cara...

jk man thats pretty awesome. Have you tried drift?

Do you still have any connections. I really want to get the New Emaxx
or the Savage Flux HP

BTW...that must have been a sweet experience.

nah, no more connections. Hell, I was 15 at the time :tup: so this was about 10 years ago. I dropped RC when I was able to get behind the wheel of a real car. I do remember the name of the guy that worked at Traxxas that got me the sponsorship. He was also the lead designer of the nitro 4-tec, and asked for my help with testing and tweaking. Brent Byers if I recall correctly.

I haven't tried drift...haven't really done anything but those little 1/12 scales since I stopped racing 10 years ago.

Damn! LoL...get behind a real car. Way to smack me!

you can smack me back when your TT Z arrives :tup:

It's all good. :tup:

Sweet... get her done, I have a float plane too.. we can race :)

Figured I'd revive this.

With the Z gone and me needing a hobby, thinking about getting back into R/C.

Unfortunately the 4wd touring class has all but died around here, looks like the new class to race is 1/8 scale 4wd buggies, nitro or electric. Anyone have one? thoughts?

I remember not being too great at off-road, but I did kick *** at on-road. I guess it was the traction variations being in or out of "the groove", and managing throttle/brake mid-air to land the jumps correctly that always had me screwed up.

Built this years ago (still have it), uses a 6 chan radio, custom and fuctions are way too long to list but here it is.

Also mess around with a Losi LST, 8th scale GS storm, & AE Monster GT
