Radio Controlled Cars and Trucks

[Stewart-83]

I'm still fairly new to the PH forums and was wondering if anyone on here had an interest in radio controlled cars or trucks?

I myself run both a car an a truck. The car does 65mph (scale speed 650mph!) and the truck does around 45mph (scale speed around 360mph I think.)

I'd be interested to see if anybody here runs RCs.

Just got myself a savage 25 limited edition, got fuel yesterday and am just runing the engine in. Now need somewhere near farnborough to play with it

Well if you are after info or somewhere to chat visit www.simplyrc.com

It's an under used site but has loads of info. Nobody is an expert!

Also got a Serpent Veteq which goes like stink... 0-60 in 1.7 secs!!!

My young 'un is after a RC police car for Christmas. I suspect this might be available from the more specialist outlets. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Here is my current stable..I can't afford a real car collection...



These two trucks started out life as identical vehicles (T-Maxx)..they are now Beauty and the beast

I have a savage 25 which I currently can't seem to set up to run well on the latest batch of fuel. Must remember to send it to a shop for fixing soon

I think the put different tyres on the back and practice a LOT.

[Stewart-83]

Some of them have plasticy back tyres, like drain pipe material. It offers no traction!

Practice would be handy too I guess!
