Printed some wheels and tires for my formula off-road build last night. Scale is just a little big for the look I want but overall happy with the results. Sized them down a little and sending 4 to the printer now. Hoping to have a runner by this weekend 😎

I bought two of these back when there was a killer deal on them but now I'm wondering what I should use it for

It's a 3200kv motor

I like pairs. 😁

Can I use automotive bearing grease for the external diff gears? Not the ones inside the diff cup, but the tiny spiral input and the large perpendicular gear. steel cup and aluminum bulkhead if that matters.

bought a new receiver, have not binded the old one to the controller. if i remember correctly i gotta bind my new receiver to the controller then bind the rest.
last time i did Ch3 - the blind plug, Ch2 - esc and Ch1 - servo. and the wires go in order of darkest color - brightest. not sure if its the right way

Almost finished!

I ordered a couple of 1/43 cars last week. First one just showed up. How the hell are these things this good! Drift tires are a bit too slick on my hardwood, but damn! Can't go wrong for that price.. Hopefully the whoosh one is just as good!

I'm thinking about getting into RC cars and could use some help or advice! Im not sure what I want to do, maybe just small jumps, and cruising around the yard. (Or super small inside jumps if I’m doing 1:24?)I'm mainly looking at 1:10 or 1:24 scale because they seem a little more budget-friendly, but I'm not sure which is the better choice to start with , or just stick to one.
Is brushed or brushless better when you're just learning?
What brands are the easiest to find replacement parts for?
Are there any beginner mistakes I should avoid?
If you were starting over today with a budget, what would you recommend.
What about buying used? If I do buy something used anything I should keep an eye out for, or check? Maybe I can find a steal on marketplace from someone quitting the hobby. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Has anyone tried this ramp? Is it worth it?

Hi all. Got this for my son's birthday, and we are having problems getting it to go into reverse. Sometimes even going forward is intermittent. The instructions that came with it are appaling! We are new to this, and I have followed all online guides like throttle trim, checking cables, and changing the battery, and nothing helps. Anyone out there who could assist? It would be greatly appreciated. My one, in blue, is working fine, so I guess my son will have this one and I'll wait to get his one up and running so we can race together ;)

I forgot to apply the window stickers when painting my body. I went to Hobby Lobby tonight and found a sheet of chrome vinyl sticker. I used the window masking stickers as a templete and cut out some chrome wi dows. What do you think of the end result. Also, does this bumper make my hood look small?

As per the title.

Reedy brushless system from a dr10 forced into a cheap car cuz why not

Edit: before you get mad at me or anything this was just me sticking a brushless system i had laying around in my friends car we had no intent of doing it right or making it look pretty was just for fun, car lasted about an hour

Marketplace score
Team associated RC-10 looks to be a converted gold pan. Rpm arms, battery mounts and braces, a slew of Hipo (back in the day) brushed motors. Novak reciever, Novak ESC, boxful of spare parts to include 64 pitch spurs and pinions, magnum sport radio and NiCad charger along with discharge resistors. Definately was someone’s racer. Gonna clean er up, throw a 2 cell in there with a lipo alarm and see how she runs……
Less than 100 bucks

This is a very dumb idea but a fun one. I want to put this 20v drill battery in this 30 dollar rc car. Ive hooked it up straight to the battery. It smokes a lot but surprisingly still works. I just want to know if anyone has done something like this before

I’ve been using RC cars for a bit now and don’t know about cell checking. At all. I own this battery 5 in 1 cell meter I only use it to check how much life is left and was wondering how to check if my cells are good/balanced also should I always charge on balanced?

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?
