RC people?

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

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.

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.

Caravanshaka · 11-23-2009, 03:54 PM

nah, no more connections. Hell, I was 15 at the time

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!

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

Rnmovr12 · 12-08-2009, 08:17 PM

been a while since ive played with it but ive got a Nylint with some minor mods

Caravanshaka · 10-11-2010, 01:53 PM

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.

AtomicRob · 10-12-2010, 11:04 AM

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
