Title: RC Cars
Post by: ridgefire on April 08, 2019, 03:37:17 AM: Anybody on the site RC cars and if so what you got? Been screwing around with mine again and kinda fun. I'm a novice to the cars but I have a Traxxas Stampede with a brushless motor and a lipo and nimh battery.

The younger son has a couple Team Associated RC10’s stadium trucks. My duaghter also has a Stampede with a brushless setup.

Brushless motors and li-Po batteries have sure changed the RC game, what an amazing difference since I was a kid.

It is crazy how fast and responsive the cars are these days. That car can do 60 mph stock which is quite a bit to handle if you are driving on the road.

Man I had T3 back when they were brand new. Loved those trucks. tough as nails and pretty quick. I looked for a kit style truck for my youngest son a few years ago and finding a RC in build it yourself kit form these days is tough! To me that was 1/2 the fun was assembly!
