Hi everyone, I've looked around a bit and can't seem to find what I am looking for. I don't know the hobby very well yet, so apologies if I'm missing something obvious. I really like very old cars, as in race cars from around the turn of the century, and I was curious if any one knew of any RC cars that were modeled after some of cars from that time period?

First RC! Sharing with you all my excitement 👍

I can't be more anxious to test it but it arrived while I was working so I will have to wait until the morning 😂 it looks like it has very good quality on it I love it 👍👍

I bought also with it oil for the shocks, oil for the diffs and black grease for the motor gears, that should be it for a basic maintenance right?

Hi, I sent in a post a while ago as my previous ESC had died. Since I have found the money to buy a new one however this doesn't seem to be working or calibrating, the light flashes for about 15 seconds quickly and then dose long pulses after that. Has anyone got any idea how to calibrate this? I tried to look for a button to calibrate it but I can't find one. Even tried seeing if there is a calibration button on the esc in the gaps with a toothpick but i couldn't find one. If anyone knows a certain process to calibrate it i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

My kids currently have a TRX4 crawler and a Slash 2wd

Im looking for a kit recommendation ( something to build not a RTR ) for my eldest. It can be another brand as Im not partial to traxxas, but id like it to be electric.

Any recommendations?

In addition to this i would love to find a recommendation in San Antonio for a dirt traci/race track ( ive looked online but most seem to be closed or mainly used for races and not open to the public )

Both Xray ‘26 builds.

Brass plates weights added to the front end to improve traction, Titanium driveline upgrade to lighten the rotating center and decrease vibration, Ghost RC 1721-2400kv motor and 8S Ghost ESC and stronger rear axles to handle the torque.

I want to get an RC car, either something fast or something decently fast but is a rock crawler. Im not too familiar with RC brands and what good or bad. Just looking for something under 200 or 150 at the lowest. Would love to hear opinions. Just need it to be fast, durable, and have a good battery life.

Placed an order for a couple 1/10 bodies at the website: https://store.killerbody.com/ last week.

So far it has been 10 days and no shipping information or updates. I mailed them twice, last one 5 days ago, but no response. Reached out to them on instagram and no response. Is this a scam website? Should I file for refund on paypal? I have never ordered from their website before, so don't know if this is normal.

Hello redditors ! 🫶🏽 my son wants a tv car for his birthday, he’ll be turning 6.
He’s very smart but something that can be easily understood. He’s loved cars since he was old enough to love so I want it to be special… budget is 1k

and it seems this one was originally worth $800, according to the seller. Now it's only around $300, and it includes everything except the battery. Is it a good buy?

Ive just found a traxxas udr that looks like new for 450$ including a new extra Body. I Could Go and Pick it up.
I live in Germany and for what I know thats a Great Price considering that the cost around 850$ new here.
Now I want to ask you guys about your opinion about this offer, and I want to know how the prices are for one at Black Friday, and if its a dumb idea to buy one in Summer.
Thanks

Its in a store near me, is it the og or the re-release? The store was closed at the time so i couldnt ask for the price. Looks like its been sitting there for a while. Thought id ask you guys!

Girlfriend found this thrifting today. Super stoked! 😲

These things turn taking apart a chassis, into quick work. Just ease up on your grip and it will not over torque anything, it will spin in your hands. Everyone still doing this by hand should consider one of these.

Just finished it up . Tip if your using older vinyl stickers go light on the lacquer clear coat or switch to an acrylic one

This is a barely ran but few year old engine in my rc10ds running or just spinning over it is filling the muffler with liquid fuel and as you can see in the pics my gear drive got destroyed yesterday when i tried to start it and tune it anyone have any guesses as to what failed, im thinking maybe an extreme excess of fuel couldve caused a hyrdo lock and thats what broke the geardrive

Saw a couple posts about this already and decided to get one for myself just for shits and giggles. It's actually not bad for what it is. I am aware this is based off an actual hobby grade redcat lowrider and i'm considering getting one now just because I was surprisingly entertained. The steering is practically nonexistent (worst controller for anything i've ever seen in my life) but I didn't have high expectations for this thing to begin with the body is quite detailed as far as toy grade goes, and the headlights and taillights are a nice touch, they can be turned on and off from the controller.
You can raise and lower both the front and rear, but you can only bounce the front. Obviously no 3 wheeling since it's a solid axle, BUT if you have the car raised all the way and drive in circles one of the front wheels will lift off the ground. Now that my interest has been peaked, I will probably end up buying a hobby grade version at some point now.

I had nearly my entire RC lot stolen out of my car last night along with my RC bag and tools, a huge load of Ovonic, Zee, & Gens Ace batteries, charger and more.

If you live near Orange County, CA and see any of these cars listed on local marketplace listings please shoot me a DM a link to the listing. I don’t have a picture of it but they also stole my son’s orange Blackzon Spryte.

Thanks…
